need new squat shoes--any suggestions where i can get em cheap?

[mister69]

I was going to start doin them barefoot but not sure if its optimal.
I dont want to spend alot of money.

Anyone know of a site where i can get cheap chuck t's or similar.

Any help would be appreciated thanks guys.

Nike Free - not cheap but probably the best.

Look for what's usually called "minimalist" running/xtraining shoes.

Chuck t's are good but actually if you can get ahold some, basic wresltling style shoes (I like using Asics) that might be great for what you might be looking for. Any sporting goods/shoe store should have them and you don't need a high dollar pair... just the basics.
Side note on a totally different style, I recently bought the new Nike Shox Turbo V+ and absolutely love them!!! I bought them as a good all around cardio/training/work out shoe and found them to be great for everything, even tried them on squat day and loved it.

I love my chuck T's. I deadlift barefoot and squat in the chucks. You can get them on Ebay relatively cheap, and since you only use them on squat day they last a long time.

any running or training shoe is a bad squat shoe.. Look for any shoe with a flat sole and you're good

picked up wrestling shoes--needed them anyway for grappling

Not these, they're great.
