Kick sets with gym shoes ? ?

Has anyone heard of this technique or used it in swim practices? It seems to do nothing for me other than takes 2 min to do a 50 !! I would rather use small fins or just use my own 2 feet !

  • Agree absolutely. And I still don't see the benefit. Kicking with shoes takes away the major source of propulsion in the kick, so exactly how does it work (stress) your core/legs/butt more than regular kicking? Seems gimmicky to me. And it is the exact opposite of using fins, whom many advocate as a means to build leg/core strength. Agree. I'm never doing it.
