What is a good weightlifting shoe?

Need one that has strong side support as I have flat feet.

I bought Nike Metcons a few months back and I like them a lot.

Like actual weightlifting shoes or just good cross training shoes?
I hate Nike metcons the way they fit and their arch. I like the Reeboks and Rads
Actual weightlifting shoes with a raised heel is different

Love my Xero's. I'll be purchasing some Vivo's soon as well.

Get some Otomix and don't forget the parachute pants as well.

weightlifting shoe. The raised heel would help actually. I normally wear the Brooks Beast.

You need to get a training shoe to lift in. Running shoes are going to compress with any kind of squats or deadlifts

I randomly found the ON on sale and I really like them. Flat and firm with a super wide base. No squish, chunky but still light,

It depends on what you are considering weightlifting. General cross training or mostly platform lifts(oly, squats, deadlifts)

You’re welcome.

I just got some. I was wearing vans before and thought they were flat. My first time squatting in the xeros I realized my vans were not flat.

I was doing the same thing with Vans prior to Xero.

Some legit weightlifting shoes wouldnt hurt. They have a solid raised heel. You might have to order them though as I doubt many shoe stores would carry them

For deadlifting, slippers or barefoot I find work best
For squats, converse all stars and doc martens were great back in the day.
For okympic weightlifting, adidas adipower

I'm a Reebok Nano fan. But I would look into some Vivo or Xero for my next shoe just to have something different.
