Reposting from the end of last thread for more opinions:
Started wearing my Chucks outside of the gym, then realized I now need new dedicated gym-shoes. Should I just get more Chuck Taylors or go for something dedicated for weightlifting? Does it even matter?
Similarly, any real difference between mens and womens versions of the same weightlifting shoes? For instance, I see male and female Powerlifts. I know in normal shoes girls can often get away with wearing guys' shoes. Does that work in this case? Does it go both ways? Bisexual shoes?

Combine with healthy eating and you'll be in better shape than the majority of the population.

Prev. question from end of last thread:
How long can I keep up linear progression?
This summer I started really focusing on leg strength because before I hardly worked legs and became top heavy in terms of strength. I started with 5x5 1pl8 squat and 2pl8 deadlift after, three times a week. First I increased the weight by 10 lbs each gym session until I reached 2pl8 for squats and 3pl8 for deadlifts (not that I couldn't do these before, but to help get form down). Since then I've been increasing weight by 5lbs each session, most recently did 5x5 of 285 lbs on squat and 1x5 of 375 on deadlift.
When do you guys think I won't be able to continue with such progression?

Basically, when you're sure that everything about your routine is in-check, but you're so exhausted between squat/deadlift days that you hit a plateau for weeks.
The essence of most intermediate routines is just alternating between heavy/light squat days. Bench is usually a non-issue, since its recovery is independent from squat/deadlift and is easy to mix up without impacting everything else.
But so long as you're successfully adding 5/5/2.5 lb per week, whatever you're doing is probably fine.

re-posting my answer in case you didn't see it.
I recommend adidas powerlift shoes, you can get them under $100 if you look carefully, great for squats and work fine for everything else apart from deadlifts. For deadlifts I got deadlift slippers (dirt cheap on amazon).
