Best shoes for squating

[Dirtnasty]

So I lost gym bag somehow and that means my adidapower are gone need replacement shoes was thinking of upgrading for comp anyways. Does anybody have recommendations. Trying to stay to under 150

His looks like dress shoes i do need raised heel cause broken ankle has left me with less mobility than before and it was already shitty. When it was healing they tried to bend it and said oh that’s still real tight. Then they tried other ankle and said never mind your just don’t bend

 

[Bigmurph6]

Lol that sucks

 

[NeuroRN]

I’m pretty sure he has the no bull lifters. I could be totally wrong. I have a pair of their high tops I got second hand and I absolutely love them.

 

[Kad1]

Adidas are fine or Nike romellos

I used to barefoot lift. I can “feel” the floor and weight better if that makes sense. Just a pair of socks on. But have worn SABO before. And Otomix. SABO is 80-90 range. Otomix 160ish

Yeah I was thinking sticking with adidas as they seemed to fit me well but the nikes have been raves about. Usually their shoes don’t fit my feet wish I had place that I could try on this shit before purchasing

 

[NeuroRN]

The nikes are narrow.

 

[Kad1]

I k ow unfortunately not many places stock them. Just buy on Amazon if possible

 

[Dirtnasty]

That is my issue May look into Reebok as well

I don’t compete so no recommendations on best comp shoes. Generally for squats I like minimal cushion, but not too close to barefoot and have been using NB minimus shoes. I think there are some that argue for squats some cushion is good.

Deadlifts though, I like barefoot (though you never know what may be lying around in the garage gym, and if you are in commercial gym they may require some type of foot covering). However, I have just recently been using basically a “slipper” that you can remove the sole insert if wanted (Slingshot) and have really liked those…really cheap too. The alternative is socks only, but believe I would burn through those fast when compared to the slipper that has some fairly durable rubber traction at the bottom.

I thought that you had a special pair I must have been thinking about @herrubermensch

My bad brother

 

[herrubermensch]

Yes. I bought some Addidas flat bottom squatting shoes and put some arch supports in them because I have collapsed arches. Best thing I ever did for my squatting, which I used to do with running shoes and made me decidedly unstable!

 

[Bigmurph6]

I remember someone green did lol you guys both have green ava do you guys have pictures you want diplayed I will show you how? @herrubermensch @Shock6050

 

[herrubermensch]

Sure. Can take some. Mine are black with white stripes.

 

[Bigmurph6]
