I felt like I got "toppled over" in my oly shoes when I used to wear them. Feel like a flat shoe suits my wider stance.

Converse suited me well doing wider stance squats (will only wear oly shoes now though! but I squat much closer stance) and I still wear them for deadlifts.

it might be because you only see skinny emo types wearing them

but are the converse reasonably wide fitting?

not that much, no. if you've got wide feet you may do better getting a larger size.

I wear the cons too. Converse re-issue like these

My stance isn't particularly wide though. I'd probably benefit from wearing oly shoes :/

I went from oly shoes for narror stance squating to now wearing adidas wresting boots. I also deadlift on them and i think they're class: good grip, thin sole and lightweight.

The Adidas Combat Speed III's mate because i wanted them lightweight and as close to being barefoot as possible. For added support i'd recommend possibly the Adidas Extero IIs. Mate of mine has them and they look pretty solid, but a bit thicker.

I just got a pair of the above shipped from the states for £67 - The company was good enough to mark them as a gift so I avoided import duty as well Happy

Took 3 1/2 weeks mind
