    red chucks have been my official static weightlifting shoes for about 2 decades now. :laugh:

    when i do oly lifts, i would prefer to go barefoot but since this isnt always feasible i use the chucks.

    if i ever decide to compete again i'd use the adidas ones i used to use in the past

    I lift & CF in Inno8 230's and all other cardio in my running shoes. Innov8's rock due to their low profile. I feel so much more balanced and steady since wearing these.

    My gym doesn't allow barefeet ... although I have seen some sneaky shoe removal in the squat rack.

    I got these for lifting in, they have 'zero rise heals' -- which I think is jargon for no squishiness in the heal.

    Those might be stable enough for squatting.

    I do most lifting in a pair of shoes with a firm raised heel. Nothing fancy - just as close as I can get to Oly shoes without blowing my bank account at the moment. For squats, I kick my shoes off completely and deadlifts I do wearing an old pair of skate trainers that have a completely flat sole.

    I never lift in anything but my Vibram Komodo Sport LS shoes...
