Will no one mention crocs as a viable lifting shoe?!
^sarcasm
Personally, I like anything with a flat sole, but that ultimately ends up being pointless because I still do my powerlifts (squats and deads) barefoot anyways. Some people get all weird seeing someone taking their shoes off in the gym but they’re usually silenced once you slap on the 3rd plate during squats or 4th plate during deadlifts.
Our feet weren’t designed to operate in shoes, no matter how well they were engineered. Im a firm believer in using your body how it was made to work, I don’t understand why some people find that weird.
