Best shoes for lifting

[perryscoon]

What shoes do you guys wear to work out in and why?

 

[captainahole]

I wear flat heel slippers. Keeps me closer to the ground and makes me feel more in control of the weights.

 

[b fold the truth]

Any type of Overhead Press, high bar squat, etc...Adidas OLY shoes.

Moving type of event...cross-trainers (whatever is comfortable and in my size)

Squat, Deadlift, etc...Chuck Taylor All Stars.

General training/overhead work- New Balance x-trainers
Moving comp work- Rebok turf cleats
Squat- Chuck taylor allstars high tops
Dead- barefoot/socks

Cheers,

Chuck T's for wider stance squating and deadlifting. Everything else Nike Frees.

I think it depends on what your doing. I wear a pair of Pumas for lifting and Nike Air Max 360 for cardio.

Which frees do you use? I've been looking at these and I will pry buy a pair. Looks like there is 3 different versions.

5.0's. They fit good a half size smaller. I have beat the shit out of these shoes pulling and pushing the sled on asphalt, and they have held up for the past 6 months. The only bad things about the Frees is that they are only available in two color schemes. Ugly and Fucked up!! Save some $$$$$ and get them off of Ebay. Peace
