Lifting shoes

[jimjones55]

Do any of you experienced lifters have lifting shoes or you just wear regular sneakers while lifting ?

I use adipower olympic shoes.

I HAVE worn such shoes and they are good but I usually wear work boots.

I guess its really up to you and the level of lifting you are at. I wear thin sole converses because I like to have my foot as close as possible to the ground when I am deadlifting and squatting.

I have 3 pairs of sneakers I alternate between all my activities

the key is wear comfortable shoes that fit properly and if they get worn it is time to swap it out for a new pair. never wear worn shoes

It's best to train in flat footed footwear when doing squats/deadlifts.

You can either grab a cheap pair of converse by chuck taylors or get basketball shoes

I used to use chucks for deads and squats when I was lifting more heavy. Now I just go with what is comfortable.
