/fit/,
quick question. i need a shoe for squats, but i'm on a budget (>$100).
i did some research and found these options:
1) Reebok Men's R CrossFit Lifter 2.0 = $79,99
2) adidas Powerlift 3 = $74,62
3) Wei-Rui Weightlifting Shoes = $69,99 + 7,95 shipping
which one do i choose? or is there another option?
thanks!

Dude just buy some fucking asics wrestling shoes. They're like $50, flat soles & no cushioning, you can lace them tight and unlike Chuck Taylor's they have padding along the ankle to avoid chaffing.

dont fall for the meme by buying shoes.....all the dudes from the golden age of bodybuilding walked around golds without shoes on and did workouts without them.

i've owned a pair of wei rui's for about 2 years now. when i got them, i had an olybro who had a pair of romaleos (what i originally wanted, but fuck the price tag). wei ruis are about as good for $200 less, and they've only barely scuffed since i got them. they fit well, feel comfortable, and work like a charm. as long as you're not an idiot they can easily last you 5-10 years or more.
if we're talking about non oly squat shoes, chucks or wrestling shoes are the way to go. of the two, i prefer chucks.

Ignore these idiots buy the weightlifting shoes and squat high and deep.
Fuck the Powerlifts man. Those soles compress. Seriously. Save up, and get the good stuff.
Position makes a wood heeled shoe.
Romaleos and Adipowers are good too.
I hear Risto's are kinda crappy, but they're cheap, and the soles won't compress.

Adidas outlets sell adipowers for like 50 bucks in AZ
