I stick to low drop training shoes or weightlifting slippers, they hug the floor so you feel every shift in load letting you brace efficiently when squatting. Avoid running shoes with big foam blobs that compress too much and make balance wobbly. If you train frequently, consider a pair with a barely raised heel for deeper squats and swap insoles to match your arches. A physical therapist or coach can check your foot mechanics before pushing heavier weights.

Flat firm soled shoes with wide bases keep feet stable for lifts, preventing ankle rolling and uneven load transfer.
