Yeah that's the problem with the Romaleo's and Adipower's, they're both $200 shoes....highest priced lifting shoes out there.. but honestly why not pay for something that makes such a huge difference and will last several years. They're built tough. A top investment.
I honestly can't stand Chuck's for squatting. Too much lateral movement, they just don't glue your feet to the ground. They have a flat bottom but that's about it. Some people like them but I think that's because they just got used to lifting in them.
Elite level lifters also use a very different stance than most people who squat (especially those who squat for hypertrophy). Wide stanced, hip dominant squats likely don't place as much horizontal sheer on the foot, so less worry about lateral movement (plus hams kick in more, my guess causing the lifter to naturally be able to lift more upright without heel lifts). My guess anyhow.
