I bought a pair of Chucks today. man they look like clown shoes. I don't care, I'm at the gym for me and no one else.

in my opinion there is only one shoe worthy to pull/squat in that is deserving of the steel.

If you squat wide flat sole, most olympic lifters wear a heal when they squat. I am sure if you did a search you could find olympic lifting shoes on the net.

A couple of the old school olympians wore slippers or went barefoot, Haney, Arnie. It actually feels alright. I go barefoot when working out at home and I like it real natural feel.
