    Might be the adidas shoe I had mentioned. I think it's one of the biggest selling powerlifting shoes out there.

    If you're using running shoes or "cross trainers", I'd tell ya to stop. Especially for exercises like squats. These kinds of shoes, by design, force you to put too much weight on the balls of your feet. When you're squatting, you want your weight more evenly distributed.

    I personally just use socks. Easier to feel the floor under me heels so I can drive them deep, and have my bodies natural balance for squats, and deads.

    But thats just me.

    I would say out of all the meets I have been to the Converse All Star is by far the most popular shoe. In the IPF, olympic shoes are very popular for the squat, allows to hit legal depth easier, having a heel.

    odd looking shoes are they any good? Out of all lifting/powerlifting shoes if you had to disregard price which shoe(s) are the best?

    The best. Well that is really an opinion, they'll help to a certain degree but one pair being better than another. If you squat close stance, or olympic style I would say the Adidas weight lifting shoes. If you squat med-wide stance I would say Safe Squat shoes.

    I have them and I like them, but they're the only pair of weightlifting shoes that I own so I can't compare them to anything else (like Adidas). However, after wearing them for an hour or so, putting on any other shoe feels like you're walking on air.

    Boxmeman, which shoes are you getting? I forgot to mention the Metal Squat shoes are said to be very good, and their made for the med-wide stance squatters. But most of the guys from Westside wear chucks, so I think its safe to say, they must be good for the med-wide stance squatters. So the most popular for the wide stance squatters would be chucks, safe squat shoes, and then Metal squat shoes. So the choice is up to you. Hope this helps.

    I forgot to mention that the VSathletics shoes have a pretty high heel, which is great for squatting and oly lifts, but some people might not like that for deadlifts.
