Weightlifting shoes? - Lemmy.World
I need some advice on shoes as I’m reading a lot of material but I’m still not
sure weightlifting shoes make sense for me. I’m looking for shoes to use
exclusively for lifting (no cardio nor crossfit). I’m following the Stronglifts
5x5 programme for now (squats, bench press, rows, deadlifts and ohp, with some
pull-ups and hanging knee lifts added). I’m not lifting heavy yet, but I feel my
regular shoes aren’t cutting it, especially for stability. I see weightlifting
shoes like the romaleos and powerlifts recommended for squatting, but I
currently have no issues going deep on squats, with or without shoes. I’d like
more lateral stability, but not sure forking out a couple of hundred euros on
shoes is worth it if I’m not struggling with squat depth. I see flatter shoes or
barefoot/socks are recommended for deadlifts, but I don’t want to get two
separate shoes to lift. Should I still look into weightlifting shoes or go for
something else?
