Its the Nike romaleos. The bottoms are completely flat. I also have an insole that is completely flat and stiff too. I could not imagine doing deads with a shoe with a heel

Pretty sure those have a heel meaning that the heel end is higher in relation to the toe. I don't use squat shoes so lets ask @Docd187123
The Romaleos have a 3/4" heel. Some ppl actually can pull better with a heel IME but they're few and far in between. I prefer pulling with socks

It was my first time pulling in these shoes. They felt great. The lift was super easy. I coulda went 540 maybe 550?

I'd be interested to know if you like it better with or without those shoes. A friend of mine use to pull in squat shoes until I suggested that he try without. He now pulls in socks bec it made his DL better. Try it out sometime and let us know what you like better.

Now that I'm looking at the shoes I do notice the 3/4 increase you are talking about. I'm kinda new to power lifting. I felt great tho pulling in them.

It probably felt great because of the solid sole on those romaloes compared to those squishy air max heels. Like Doc said, most people will be better off in a flat shoe or socks but you might be the exception to the rule.
When you say flat shoes would something like a Nike free work?

I can't say with certainty because I'm not familiar with the shoe but if has a flat thin sole than yes, that will work.

I'm pullin for ya bud. I know once they cut you loose and you get back at it you're gonna kill it. You are so absolutely inspiring. I clearly remember you telling your story and you posting a picture with your trach in and still lifting ( I think it was in the "Biggest most ripped thread") It fucking floored me. Shame on anyone with a bullshit excuse not to lift today, me included. You are a true hero to us all. You are the definition of commitment. Please, be well.
