Can you guys red pill me on weightlifting shoes? I've been going to the gym consistently for a year and a half now and I've always done my deadlifts and my ass to grass squats, barefoot. But I kinda have a feeling I could lift more with shoes because sometimes I lose a bit of stability when deep squatting heavy. Are shoes worth it? I never see people squat barefoot in my gym. What shoes do you train in?

Not op but what's wrong with lifting in sandals? Besides it looking dumb?

Try using microplates under your heels when you squat

They raise your heel up so that you are using more quads as you stay more upright on squat. Although, people probably just use them because they have shit ankle mobility. You don't use them on deadlift.

Mark deadlifts in squat shoes. It's fine.

If you do real weightlifting (C&J and Snatch) then buy them.
Otherwise don't.

ehh, as long as you're serious about lifting it's nice to have a pair for squats and deads. My ankle mobility is not amazing and the shoes really help.

Your deadlift better be higher than his.
