      I only squat in Olympic shoes......in my Nike Romaleos. I also overhead press and bench in them. The difference is greater than night and day.

        I have tight Achilles tendons and loose ankles so I squat in either combat boots or hiking boots. but with back fixed I seem to be more balanced than ever!

          I never knew they made such a thing... Just an old-fashioned pair of converse for me for squat day...

            Personally I like DLs over squats in general. Concentrating on perfect form.

              I love deads myself as much as squatting, I just wish I could pull more than a 4th grader

                  Something else that's been changing my life is practicing mobility. Kelly Starrett has some great videos all over youtube. Squat shoes and mobility WOD is saving my back. I couldn't do squats for a time because it caused me so much pain, end up taking vicodin for a couple days after squats it was so bad.

                  Here's an example:
                  Pre-mobility WOD I couldn't squat down to the ground flat footed and feet forward w/o falling backwards, and I mean with no weight or anything. Now doing mobility WOD I can squat down to the ground flat footed and chill down there. And my back pain is slowly fading, literally the first time in yrs I don't have pain.

                  And just in case you guys do look it up, the bands and lacrosse balls make a HUGE difference, the bands are necessary for the mobility, the bands are what made the difference for me.

                  I LOVE squat day now.
