Hi,
I've been lifting in my running shoes with orthotics in (New Balance 1023's) which I know is not ideal due to the cushioning.
I've read on Stronglifts and forum posts that Converse Chuck Taylor's are a good cheap shoe that is flat soled and not cushioned that will work well for lifting, plus I've seen a bunch of people at my gym with them. I don't want to spend $100+ on real shoes until I get further into training.
This is kind of a dumb question but does it matter if you use the lowtop or hitop version? I guess the hitop might give you more ankle support but I prefer the lowtop version, plus most of the real weightlifting shoes I've seen are lowtop
Low top
