hey guys, am looking for a lifting shoe for long term, but not sure if i should get regular flat lifting shoes or oly shoes

currently my S/B/D ish 95/75/115 and using my old chuck taylors with holes at the side and sole already

sometimes the grip also don't feel confident on the squat and lifting platform especially when chalk ish all over the place

i heard deadlifting in oly shoes is a no go due to the lifted heel? then again i'm not sure if i will try out and learn some oly lifts in the near future when i get stronger and leaner

any recommendations for wide toe box lifting shoes? currently my width is 2E and size is 28.5cm

so far i only see do-win on local sellers, and notorious lift shoes look nice but i'm not sure about the toe box width

nike metcon is quite expensive and i'm not sure about the width of both nike metcon and aiddas adipower

preferably can keep budget below $150, thanks :o

For squatting, pretty much any oly lifting shoes will do. Romaleos 2 and 4 don't have wide toe boxes, not sure about the rest.

I have owned 2 pairs of metcons. I don't find them particularly good for lifting, but it is convenient for crossfit or other strength classes that incorporates HIIT movements that requires you to jump etc. It is a shoes with trade-offs lar, balanced but not the best you would want to use for lifting.

I agree with mirkoccp87. If you do both squats and deadlifts at the same session, chuck taylors are the best.

Feiyue martial arts shoes. less than $20 per pair. readily available from multiple online shops on Shopee. thin flat sole, wide width, canvas shoes. I use them for soccer as well.
