Weightlifting Shoes 101...

[SisterSteel]

Mind suggesting something Sis? I usually squat just outside shoulder width

I'd suggest an Olympic weightlifting shoe because it has the slight heel on it and the sole is made from material that will not compress under any circumstance. That means a greater transfer of enegry when you squat.

The Adidas Power Perfect II Shoe would be what I suggest. They'll also last forever if you only wear them in the gym.

Awhile back I was searching for some equipment to help with my lifting in the gym, I have found the information I recieved on this Forum to be of great help. Shoes? That was a question I couldnt find an answer to so I looked on the internet and came across this site: http://wlshoes.com/review/adidas-power-perfect-2/
I hope it helps. I try and help you guys as much as you help me!
