Shoes for OHP

jemhh

I have squats stands instead of a rack and there are only 4 height settings. One setting I use for squats and it is perfect while wearing lifting (squat) shoes. The next setting down is what I've been using for OHP, because I do that barefoot and if I use the higher setting I'd have to slightly raise up on my toes to get the bar off the rack. The lower setting is lower than I'd prefer but usable. My question is, would it be problematic for me to wear the squat shoes for OHP so I could use the slightly more comfortable height setting? I haven't so far because of the elevated heels, which I thought might cause a problem down the road somehow. What say you?

I see no issue wearing squat shoes for OHP.

I wear Oly shoes when I OHP. No problems to report. Preflight it with lighter weight of you have concerns.
