best squating shoes ?

[lilboy2]

lets hear it boys ,, what are your favorite shoes to squat in . . .

 

[athiktos]

no shoes...lol. actually, i just use my tennis shoes, but i was thinking about going in my socks (if the gym allowed). I hear many do that for a better feel of the floor and more balance.

where a pair of chucks or a hard heeled lifting shoe or boot. You don't want a bubble or soft material in the heel, as it will differ in depth depending on weight on the bar and may pop. I wear chucks, alot of guys where adidas lifting shoes, my friend John Bernor (one of the best in the world) where a pair of boots every time i have seen him squat.

Converse are awesome when it comes to squating. If you´re using a wide stance, converse may be the best squating shoe out there.

That's what I do. I workout at a typical gymrat gym and there is never anyone in the room where the power rack is so I just kick off my shoes. I find it very comfortable and I feel more stable on my feet. I can really feel where I am pushing from so I concentrate on pushing with the heels.

x2 - No Shoes is the way to go

chuck taylors all the way. regular shoes push you forward, so its harder to drive off of your heels. also, a lot of the newer running/tennis shoes, have air pockets in the soles... try squatting 800 lbs with air in your shoes. see what happens lol...

No shoes at all is the way to go.

Tried chucks taylors, work boots and tennis shoes...

Anything over 5 plates requires some sturdy shoes for sure.
