    I'm actually going to go out and buy a pair of Chucks today if I can find a store with them but until now I've been using adidas similar to what Elginyo has got, tbh I don't like them one bit 'cause they aren't quite flat enough on the sole.

    Chucks or if you used to wrestle, a pair of old wrestling shoes.

    So what are you guys saying, any shoe with a good flat sole is the kind to get for lifting?







    Is barefoot really a good idea?

    Recently started going barefoot for squats and deads. Took me a few times out to get used to it, but now I don't think i'll be changing back anytime soon.

    Yea lol well I emant what I said about it being for big lifts...if you can't squat at least 315-405 you don't need those shoes haha.

    Yup there are a lot of big strong guys who don't use shoes at all in normal training...I actually like the grip and natural feel of it.

    I used to wear wrestling shoes for squats and deads in high school. I really liked it. The shoes also had wicked grip for doing any type of calf work.
    I wear Nike Shox or some Air Max now, however I have not had any problems with support but rather my feet sort of shift outwards in my shoes when I squat more than about 315 or so.
