While researching Lifting Shoes on the Internet, I discovered that one of the best shoes for Squats and Deadlifts is the good old fashion Chuck Taylor's. So, I dug out my pair from many years ago that I wore as river wading shoes while fishing and rafting.

They were a little skanky from not being used for awhile, so I chucked them in the washer with some detergent and bleach. The bleach probably wasn't the best thing for the old canvas, but they came out looking a lot cleaner.

The soles are flat and sturdy and preformed well while doing a few squats.

I'm still interested in some official lifting shoes for cleans and presses.
