I was going barefoot for a while but the guy who runs my gym banned that. Why, I have no idea, but it is what it is…just seeing what everyone thinks are a good pair to get for lifting…primarily deads and squats…

thanks!

    Wrestling shoes always work for me, non-slip, light, a bit supportive on the ankles.

    I wear new balance minimus.
    I know plenty of people swear by toe shoes but I think they're the most hideous things in the world.
    There are also other shoes I've seen lots of power lifters wear....kind of chunky bowling shoe looking things with a Velcro strap

    these are close to barefoot and you don't have to use the wrap part.

    Oh good, I thought I looked like a noob lifting in my toe shoes I got for running, but apparently not! Here OP, these are what I have, almost as good as the yoga shoes with the ribbons!:tongue:

    TJMaxx/Marshalls has them often.
    And if you dont care about the color, the ones aon clearance are even cheaper

    I would prefer black but not a big deal. A few friends of mine suggested them to me.

    Are you talking Oly shoes, or regular sneakers?
