Weightlifting Shoes lets talk

[itrain]

I use MMA shoes for deads and squats,, flat soles basically like a hard piece of rubber 1 inch above the floor,,,

Some people use vibram 5 finger shoes , others use , wrestling shoes, some barefoot ,,

what do you use..

Vibram 5 Fingers. Love them.

just picked up some Reebok weightlifting shoes...lightweight and flat bottom...they are fantastic!

 

[bmuhtneerg88]

have to agree on vibram 5 fingers. I Love Mine!

I want to try the 5 finger shoes so bad but when I went to try them on I learned that I have 1 toe that curves the wrong way and it fucks it up so that I can't wear them.

Chuck taylors for squats and just socks for deads. Bought some Adidas bounce for everything else. I like them.

Asics

Wrestling shoes for me. Cant wear the Vibrams due to fucked up toes and cant stand the Chucks because they make me want to relive my youth chasing women and getting into trouble.

I agree, that toe is pretty crooked bro

I've been wearing the Adidas Powerlift shoes for about two months now and really like them. They are a hybrid weightlifting shoe that allows for solid, supported lifts as well as the option to do moderate cardio/calisthenics. That being said, there is a very small amount of compression in the heel (almost negligible) that might not be suitable for all users. For the middle of the road weightlifter or below I would recommend them.

For the serious to competitive lifter I'd say get yourself some Risto's or Adistar II. If your on a budget you can't go wrong with some non-skid dead lift slippers. I think House of Pain has them for 10-12 bucks.

For deadlifts i used to use wrestling shoes and legs i will sometimes use my Olympic weightlifting shoes which i really like for squats and upper body usually just wear slippers.

I've always worn otomix training shoes. Love em. Very flat. Run about 100$.

 

[suparay]

I like the Adidas good year they flat bottoms very flat... I think they good for squats and dead lifts

 

[BabyBeast05]

For deads and leg day I use either Vibrams, wrestling shoes or go barefoot
