I been wondering on a good shoe as well? I hate when I'm on the calf raises and I can feel my foot slipping off the pad! I wear Nike Air Max with Shox which our confortable but lookin to upgrade very soon. May Vibrams....

Chuck taylors usually. For heavy squats/deads/overhead stuff I wear my Risto weightlifting shoes. Gave vibrams a shot, felt like a duck.

Adipure zero for deads/cleans/squats, Onitsuka Tigers (asics) for everything else. The Adipure Zero's are the toe shoes- they're like a a rubber sole with a nylon sock on top, very lightweight great for powerlifting. The Tigers are just great because they're mostly mesh and EXTREMELY light. I just prefer thinner and lighter shoes when I lift

thanks bro! love gettin karma. You should check out the adipure zero's if you could deal with toe shoes. They're like a glove for your feet with a hard rubber sole. http://www.adidas.com/us/product/mens-training-adipure-trainer-shoes/TD0... Those are the ones I got but they make other styles that are light but have more to the top part of the shoe. I just prefer laceless because after workin out hard, you can take them into the steam room and shower with them on instead of barefoot in a gym's locker room. Also come with a nice little carry bag haha.

I am a huge fan of under armour I have a wide foot and there running shoes feel like slippers. I still have my first pair from 5 years ago and the tread is still intact and that is after running at the track, to my best estimate over a 1000 miles

chuck d's bro

you want to be as flat footed as possile doing deadlifts and squats... Chuck's accomplish this on a limited budget. I dont like spending $ on shoes so this is what I do?

I'll second this. I don't know how they ever fell into favor with lifters. They have really terrible support and limit range of motion. Although that's not the craziest thing I've seen. At my old gym there was a dude that, no joke, squatted in cowboy boots.

Get legit lifting shoes. You'll thank yourself later. It makes a world of difference. Even in lifts you wouldn't expect like bench, depending of course how you like your foot placement. If you're one of those strange foot back people I can't help you.

5fingers bro, I got some and it's like ur Baer foot, amazing calve response to raises.. Check them out they will def grow on u

Falcon's picture

I hate to be the hater here but serious lifters kind of laugh at dudes wearing 5 fingers while lifting. I think its because its usually the crosshitters that wear them or the super annoying know it all, "I only go to the gym to stay in shape" lifters.

Falcon's picture

.I'm not saying their not effective in some ways. I'd dead lift barefoot if the rules let me. I'm just making sure you know before hand that people will think your goofy. Also, you do need sole support for some lifts i.e. squats.

Blast past those guys bro.. It's how u feel about ur self not about how the small guys look at u.. One wrong look at my fucking shoes and it a kick to ur fucking ear hole son.. I bet more people would go out and buy them then ...
