Chuck Tees are the official squat shoe. Anything else is blasphemous.

    I have a pair of Nike Romaleo’s that are collecting dust. Can’t imagine ever wearing them again. I miss the feeling of the hard sole doing cleans but the toe box is just so tight. I would definitely not do deadlifts with an elevated heel. If you struggle with depth, I would address that muscle tightness issue.

    Adidas? You serious? Why? No on elevated. Definitely not lifting heavy then.

      You have no idea what you're talking about. Look at these pictures: https://9for9media.com/10-burning-powerlifting-questions-2018/ https://9for9media.com/10-burning-powerlifting-questions-201... With the exception of Ray, everyone is squatting wearing shoes with a lifted heel.

        It’s a common lifting joke, you nerd This is I what I get? Look, guy, you need a little heel height if you got some messed up rusty hips, stiff ankles, or some mobility problem. I’m not like that. If you really think you have to wear a little higher heel because it makes your numbers better, then yeah, I suppose I forgot I'm on HN

          I showed a link of some of the best people in the world squatting, but you're like "nah, I'm better than that". Well, all right then.

            You don’t even know why people wear those shoes in the first place You’re just looking at pictures
