    I use them for bench and OHP. Diddly is barefoot, any squat variant is with Olympic shoes.

      Literally just ordered a pair because I've been wearing Air Force 1s and someone said I should get these instead.

      Had to wait for the black monochrome pair to be back in stock because I'm a ISTggot

        They are alright.
        I just wanted a relatively flat shoe to use on my upper body lifts, used to do everything but squats in socks.

      You should be using lifting shoes for any lift in which your feet are in contact with the floor.

      • 1 year ago
        Anonymous

        No?
        I use weightlifting shoes for squats and variations because the heel elevation makes it much comfier to go ATG.
        For everything else, I want to be flat footed and similarly have little to no cushioning. So it's either socks or Chucks, Chucks come with a small very slightly elevated and elastic sole so they aren't perfect. You can take them out if you want to, however I am not autistic enough to sacrifice all comfort and versatility for that. They work great for OHP which is the most balance intensive lift I do, they are also great for benching.
        Protip: If your gym has slippery floor, spray water on the sholes of your feet. Drag them back and forth until they are somewhat dry. Grip will go from 0 to 1000% for a while.

          Have you ever tried pressing while wearing your lifting shoes? For me, the difference was huge.

            Yeah it was awful, I felt off balance. They also feel unnatural to walk around in.
            Heel elevation for a strict press doesn't make sense biomechanically either if you think about it.

          Explain to me how that isn’t disgustingly expensive for a very basic Canvas and rubber shoe? FYI, Nike absorbed Converse several years ago and outsourced it to China.

          They used to be $40 and they aren't worth that since Nike bought the company and the quality plummeted. PF flyers are similar, but the quality is better. Vans are the better shoe for that money. They also make like a $90 pair of skate shoes which are goat and I wear them all the time.

    They're fine if you can get non-bootlegged ones for cheap. Otherwise the bootlegged ones eat shit and die after like a month, and $70 is too expensive for super basic shoes.

    That said though, Olympic style shoes are better but more expensive.

    Them Nike frickers I can't recall the name of that have the 6mm wedge are pretty breasts if you have obnoxiously long femur-itis, but they're not cheap and also they don't seem to typically manufacture over size 12.

      These are great. They break really easily though, probably 8-12mo use and they get worn down. I get them directly from the mainland though for like 2 dollars a pop cuz my friend is clutch as frick and works in Shenzhen half the year and comes back the other half. I have the original Feiyue and one or two hi-tops. The green triangle ones are sturdier.

    These are really good if you're into foot binding. Place your foot on top of them and you can see how they will reshape your foot into the shape of a lady's high heel. If you aren't into reshaping your foot, they're still good because people will think you look cool.
