good shoes for squatting?

[argent]

Most of the people squatting in Chucks are strength athletes(powerlifter, strongman, etc.) Most use a wider stance and need a shoe that has a flat sole without a riased heel, rubber outsile with good traction, and high top for better ankle support. All of those factors make Chucks an ideal shoe for squatting.

I dont see how a shoe could possibly help. But perhaps you could explain. Maybe its the way i squat. my stance is about shoulder-wide, so my weight is always directly above me. Therefore my feet never slip or feel akward. Mostly i just oncentrate on driving the weight up.

The rubber soles in sneakers give you a soft base to squat from.....once you try a solid heel you will feel more power transfer from the ground.
