Shoes for lifting

    I prefer to squat and DL wearing only my socks or bare feet. My gym has started clamping down on people not wearing footwear so I now need to get myself a pair of shoes for the gym.

    I don't really want to go to the expense and hassle of getting proper platform shoes so I'm looking to get a pair of shoes with a really thin sole.

    Can anyone recommend anything?


    Thanks.

    Or the chepaer knock-offs from sportsdirect or Penneys.

    Won't last nearly as long but much the same.

    Adidas Adipowers are unbelievable! If you can afford them..check them out on google images, look as good as they feel on.

    Bought a pair of converse type trainers today. If they work out okay, I'll up my budget when they wear out and get something of better quality.
