What are the best shoes for squatting?

Best Shoes For Squats Are probably a million-pesky because everyone's looking for the best shoes for squats these days. Yes, you know what they say about most people, "anyone who can think for themselves is a genius." I couldn't agree more! If you are not born with the ability to think for yourself, you will have to train for it and there are some pretty expensive programs out there that promise you the world but give you an illusion when it comes to training and results. You can get squats done fast, but if you don't know how to do them properly, it will take a while.

Most people who try squats as a way to build their muscles end up with injured ankles and/or shin splints. That's because it is a pretty hard movement to learn to do right. There is a technique that if mastered, can build your squat and ankle power to match your normal running shoes. If you try this method, instead of spending hundreds of dollars on special shoes for squatting, you can just use normal running shoes.

The squat is a lunge in a lunge position. To get started, you want to stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Your feet should be at least hip width apart. Then you just bend your knees and squat your body as far as you can, while keeping your knees bent.

The best shoes for squats for the recreational lifter are normally trainers. They fit snuggly against your feet and they give your legs support. They can be worn all day long as you focus on improving your squats. For the truly serious lifter, they may want to replace their shoes with a pair of Powerlift Shoes.

As far as the best shoes for squats go, you really can't go wrong with squatting shoes. They are made specifically for powerlifters. This means they are stiff but not rigid like the kind of shoes you might find at the gym or around the internet. They are lightweight and usually very comfortable. Some of them have upper laces, which may make working out that much easier.

The best shoes for squats come in two different formats. There are open or closed shoes. With the closed shoes, you have more ventilation so your feet stay cool during the warm up. With open shoes, you have no ventilation and the risk of getting a blister while trying to get ready. Both are great options if you are going to be doing squats regularly.
