    I used chucks for a while. My ankle flexibility isn't great and I couldn't get as low as I wanted. Using 5 lbs plates under my heels helped, but never felt very good.

    For the last six months, I've been using Inov-8 Fast Lift 335 shoes. Picked them up on from Amazon for <$100 USD. Squats are more comfortable due to the stability and feel safer. They are working fine, although the strap is fraying a bit. These are last year's model now so you might find a good deal if you aren't picky on the color.

    Hmmm, I just squat and deadlift in my socks. Feels natural.
    Maybe one day I'll invest in a pair of Pendlay Do Win squat shoes and a cheap pair of wrestling shoes for deadz.
