Lifting shoe choice

[Jamesm11]

I like the NB minimus shoes. They're for running but have no real insole. They're flat and keep your heels back

The minimus shoes are almost the same thing as a Vibram FF without the toes. If you are serious about lifting then get some serious lifting shoes. That means you won't be "running" while wearing these. Actually, you won't be doing anything BUT lifting while wearing them. Obviously the AdiPower and Romaleos are awesome but hella expensive - another great option is the Crossfit Oly shoe by Reebok. If you want cheap look at the PL trainer from Adidas or Wei-Rui brands. You can do some research on all these and more over at wlshoes.com

Running slash lifting shoes? Really? I take my lifting attire seriously. The pair of the left I've had since 1993 or so.

I got a pair of working boot for my leg day by the suggestion of my trainer. It works great when I do squats and weight lifting. Much better than cross training shoes or running shoes which I used to wear in gym.

Have some Addias Oly shoes. Decent price online around 90$. Mainly wear my new balance minimus. The ones with flat sole and no tread...great for weight lifting and running....not too bad on the wallet...about 70-75$. Or you can go the cheap route and get chucks...I have several pair and used to wear them religiously in the gym. But now I like not having to switch shoes to run, so i mainly wear the New Balances.

I got shit in this thread for the minimus already. I have the same ones. But would you recommend Adidas?

They are good for squating and Oly lifts. I stick with minimus and chuks for deads and everything else. I actually only use the Adidas when doing Oly or squating heavy.
