Anyone use wrestling shoes to train in? I just ordered these and I'm looking forward to trying them. I've been using hi-top chucks for 3+ years and thought I'd go a different route.
I don't like doing deads, squats, rows in cushioned soles. A flat sole is much better for these types of lifts. Have you tried going with a flat sole Lenny?
I bought chucks and since then I have hit squat PR's at every leg day... Noticeable difference. It's my understanding that a wrestling shoe is better for deads as it brings you closer to the bar... I wouldn't do the barefoot/socks thing for hygiene reasons.
I got Vibrums and use them on leg day only, and some old under armour running shoes for the rest. My feet got fat from growth, so my vibrums hardly fit anymore.
