For lift??? Could you be a bit more specific? Do you mean for lifting? Or for extra jump maybe in sports like basketball?

When we are motivated by goals that have deep meaning, by dreams that need completion, by pure love that needs expressing, then we truly live life.

Sorry. Yes, I mean for lifting. Specifically, does really make a difference what kind of shoe I wear for lifts like squats or DL or anything that invloves my feet/legs? For example: running shoes over say basketball or soccer shoes.

Simply a good fitting atheletic tennis shoe will work fine.

Ugh. If I catch either you or menace in high heel pumps... :angry:

I'm a fan of anything flat soled with a decent amount of support. I personally lift in wrestling shoes, but HIGHLY recommend the old school chuck taylor all stars (By Converse) as one of the best shoes for lifting. Cheap too.
