Elevated heel shoes or wedges for squats?

[brg911]

I would use a wedge if just machines and then you can change the angle and get better depth for some machines. I have shoes as well and they are great too and give you a firm base However if you have very wide feet like i do even the TYR that are supposed to be the widest are juat a smidge tight even a size up. I am waiting on the new toeq wedge myaelf as Inhave a home gym andy hack squat cpuld benwfit from a little depth.

I've used Nike, Adidas and TYR squat shoes. Like the L-1 and now L-2 Tyr the best. Makes a big difference to me. Wear thin socks too.

I like the l2 i have but i just wish they were a tad wider. I got these triple E wide feet but theyre not too tight just by the end of the workout I want to take them off for sure. I really wanted to get the Carbons but got l2 closeout for 180 vs the carbons 325 and the 1inch heel might be tpo much when i low bar squat.

Which shoes do you like

Nothing fancy, brand on Amazon "Manueklear."

I've used their "deadlift" shoes for years with no issue. They're inexpensive and comfortable.

I tried the Tyr shoes, my friend has them. I don't think paying 4x is entirely worth it.

Tried out my Adidas Squat shoes yesterday for the first time, Father’s Day gift.. Makes a huge difference, wish I got them sooner just didn’t want to spend the money. Highly recommend grabbing a pair. Just get 1 size bigger or they will be to tight. I’m a 12 but 13 fits perfect.

I still have my now two-decades-old Adidas Ironworks 2 weightlifting shoes. Although they look a little worse for the wear after all this time and use, they still feel and fit great. I’m a bit hesitant to get new ones as I worry I won’t like any as much as I like my Ironworks.

I still remember what it was like to squat in them for the first time. I just felt solidly planted and stable, which I think transferred to more efficiency and power output, if that makes sense. Though I don’t back squat anymore, I still use them on a variety of leg exercises such as hack squats, leg press, and SLDL. For me, they’ve made a tremendous difference.
