Hey Ive been looking to get a good shoe primarily for squatting and overhead presses. Ive been squatting in running shoes and obviously this is a terrible way to go. I like to use a more narrow/olympic stance. My flexibility is great, I go to the floor every time.
So from what ive been reading, weightlifting and powerlifting shoes both have a hard incompressible bottom and a cup for the heel. Powerlifting shoes are also a little elevated in the heel to help provide depth for those with poor flexibility? Weightlifting shoes are just flat with no elevation. My question is which ones should I get? Im already very flexible and have no problems going ATG. I found these two weightlifting shoes, good price and look great. what do you guys think? Ill try lifting in chucks but I can probably afford $75 or so on specific shoes.
