When buying weightlifting shoes, should I be getting a size bigger than what I normally wear, or a size smaller? Do I want them more snug, or more loose?

>weightlifting shoes
Mark rippetoe said it is required to buy some.
Who? I don’t know who ecelebs are
Can you tell me about weightlifting T-shirt’s? Maybe weightlifting sweatbands?
God damn you people are so dumb. You’ll buy anything
News flash buckaroos: you’ll never win a power lifting or body building competition. You’re just some fricking guy. Wear tennis shoes like a normal person and frick off with this consumerist bs
>Can you tell me about weightlifting T-shirt’s?
here you go you fricking moron
Does this let me lift more weights than my old cotton DILF tshirt
It makes you slide less on a bench when benching with strong leg drive, so yea, if this is a problem you experience
Dyel spotted
OP please don't listen to nonlifters like
You want them snug I can't think of a situation where loose shoes would be better. You get them for support and then you lose the support.
>You get them for support and then you lose the support.
what?
How would you feel if you didn't have breakfast this morning?
A loose shoe is not as supportive. Get one that fits perfectly if possible, if not go snug
post your squat pls
i like 'em snug
dyel moment
No you are the dyel moment lmao. Post body so i can laugh
He's some dyel or 80% fatass that thinks it's muscle
i like them snug also
and dont listen to ripplebreasts
Low top converse at your size for weight training and properly fit shoes at a running or tennis store for running.
doesn't matter, you're supposed to stay glued to your position
that said, the traits you should be looking for are:
>hard sole
>flat sole
shoes with raised ankle are for weak little b***hes with defective ankles
powersharts will do anything to make their body as unathletic as possible, you can see by how they all hit impingement city and have garbage ankle mobility
Starting strength isn't for powerlifters homosexual. It's for people who want to get stronger.
you are fat and ugly

Why the hell would you want looser shoes? I'm trying to think of any possible sport that would require a loose fitting shoe as opposed to one being as snug while still being comfortable. Literally the only time you want a "looser" shoe is when you need a pair of beaters than you slip on real fast to get something outside
Snug would restrict your foot and toe movement
Loose would still likely restrict your toe movement based on the shape of those
If you want to actually build strength everywhere in your body (feet for instance are your base connection to the ground) you would lift barefoot or in barefoot shoes so your foot can function how it was intended
buy $100 consoooomer shoes or take your shoes off
OP here, the shoes in question where 25 bucks and brand new from facebook marketplace. Figured it wouldnt hurt to get better quality shoes to deadlift in
Your foot was intended to move perfectly symmetrical loaded barbell movements in nature?
I measured my feet to be 27.1 cm long. So I got EU size 44 (see size table). But if I workout in them too long, my big toe starts hurting. So I got another pair in one size up (44 2/3), and while those are a little too big, at least it doesn't squeeze my big toe. I can squat fine in them.
>2023
>still wearing foot prisons
You don't really need a size up like with running shoes because your feet won't be inflating from the inflammation of pounding your dogs on the ground. Just get some that fit snug when tightened up, you don't want to be slip and sliding around
kk
What about weightlifting socks?
A perfectly valid way to not frick your shins up from floor pulling
