Any Suggestions for Squat Shoes

[alpha]

I love my oly lifting nike romaleos, but they are heavy. The new adidas adipowers are much much lighter. They are great to help with ankle flexion and creating a solid base for your squats. They are both pricey, but well worth it IMHO

I use chucks. For pulling too. I'm old school I guess lol.

I squat in chucks... They made a world of difference in my squat. I now pull barefoot though.

I use Otomix shoes when doing legs, I been using them for years.

OTOMIX Ultimate Trainers here too.

I squat in Oly shoes, to be specific I wear Adipowers. I'm a semi wide stance raw squatter. The heel has the greatest transfer of energy b/c it doesn't compress at all.

As for pulling, I've always pulled barefoot.

Timberlands or Reebok Nano 2.0's work for me.

Chucks are better for deadlifting IMO because the canvas has a lot of give and if you pronate or anything there isn't much protection of the ankle if you are walking your squats out.

I pull in deadlift slippers at meets, just a flat soled shoe is fine for me in training.

My squat shoes are actually just an old pair of work shoes with a good wooden heel on them.
