I have had two back surgeries and an spinal cord injury and they are my "go to" shoes when I exercise or walk longer distances. Brooks also offers workout and running shoes that are much more attractive. If you are going to be lifting heavy weights, you need to protect your joints.
That is done with strengthening and hypertrophy primarily. Also a stable shoe without cushion.

Through the years I have cycled through many shoe experiments but my favorite is Merrell barefoot sneakers. I like the dropped heel and minimal support for lifting of all kinds. I also like the shoe for most cardio (step aerobics is an exception for me, but I even like the shoe for running and machines).0

I never bought weight lifting shoes and have gone barefoot (or rather with socks only). It made a big difference for me vs normal shoes (cross training) cause I felt more stable, more secure on my squats. Am I going to gain a benefit using weight lifting shoes?0

I have Reebok legacy lifters to squat in. They’re a bit pricey but they’ll last for years0

inov lifting shoes are the absolute best if you ask me.0
