Is it okay to squat in those adidas weightlifting shoes for powerlifting, I lift in single ply and raw and was wondering if that is ok, mostly because I actually dont think IPF allows chuck taylors

I lift in my adidas adistar lifting shoes for majority of my lifts. Deadlifts and lunges Ill use my chucks or my nike frees.

I'm sorry, but I accidently pressed a wrong key and deleted a comment about Vibram Fingers shoes... I appreciate the comment and hope you can repost it.I haven't tried the shoes, but I've heard good things about them.

I've found that a good pair of work boots yield a great squat position and give a lot of ankle and bottom of foot support as well. I usually alternate between using my 23yo chucks and my work boots. I've never had an issue with the chucks blowing out as one person mentioned. That usually only happens on people who squat VERY wide and push outwards really hard or let the fabric rot. I squat better with the boots but you should always work an exercise from different angles to insure no imbalances

Ever tried using metric? ;)Btw I guess those 45 may actually be 20 kg, that's even for you :)

I knew they ran small sizes and since I ordered over the Internet I got one half size up, or maybe it was even one whole size? Don't remember. Anyhow they are a little big so I use a sock (which here in Sweden are made by Seger) specifically designed for sprinting. It's thick as a tennis sock but very tight and with no seems sticking out anywhere. So it won't gall or feel chunky.

It'll depend on the fit of the shoe - my Adidas OL shoes are pretty tight and a thicker sock won't cut it. I prefer to wear socks, but that's just me.
