crappy $20 shoes from wal mart baby. honestly i never pay more then 20-30 dollars for shoes anymore. all my shoes are from either wal mart or target, im a cheap dude. but there are some nice training shoes out there if you want to spend the coin. i have an eye for Otomix, im too cheap though and when i buy a new pair of shoes i have a problem wearing them, because they are new. i know its an oxymoron type deal but what can i say, i have a new shoes tick. i want new shoes, so i buy new shoes, but since they are new, i dont want to get them dirty so i never wear them lol...the cycle of life and death

Ive heard about how it made some guys lean, but gave it a try and seemed to work good for me. How tall are you?

6'2". About 203lbs right now. I lifted barefoot for a couple years and I just couldn't get the shoes to feel right.

I'm 6'6" 260 and I love my Nike Romaleo II's. They force me to lean back actually, and push through my heel. Before I bought these shoes I felt like I was always doing squats improperly because I'm so tall, it was difficult to get my form down. The Romaleos really helped me with my squat technique a lot and my gains began improving immediately! They're spendy as fuck, like $200-250, but it was worth it for me. I never even thought about Chucks before but you guys may be on to something there! Gonna grab a pair just out of curiosity. Man, haven't worn a pair of Chucks since junior high!

fuck some chucks there is no support whatsoever now ive never tried lifting in them but I cannot see myself doing cardio in chucks, nor can I see myself bringing two pairs of shoes to the gym. so I just use my nike crosstrainers, saucony, or asics whatever I have. but see I got dem short stumps and wide ass feet I just remember chucks in high school hurt my damn feet
