Why not take your current shoes to a shoe repairer and save $200 in the process. For squatting you simply need a solid platform underneath your feet, and that's what your current shoes do have. If you wish to start moving your feet around in a fast manner whilst carrying a loaded bar above you, then go ahead and invest in some new shoes (if you're simply sick and tired of the shoe you've got). My weightlifting shoes is over 30 years old, and yes, I did repair its insole once.So I blew out the sole of my current squating shoes and I'm looking at getting a proper pair, their is quite a range these days.
I've heard addidas make a decent pair any advice and/or info would be great.

I've got the Inov8 Fastlift 335's. Pretty sure @Repacked ; bought some after I recommended them.
Did a review on them a while ago but they're an excellent shoe for the price. Wiggle usually have them cheap.
How much of a heel do you want? The FL335's aren't that tall but tall enough to allow good depth for most I would say.
I looked at wiggle earlier, they have limited sizes/colourways of the 335's left but they're going very cheap (about $110). Next option would be the 370's. Again, limited sizes but decent discount. The new 2016 model are the 325's.yeah I've been looking into them as well, my heel wasnt to big on the old pair of basketball shoes I was wearing
Ah no worries mate, when you said earlier squatting shoes, I presumed some weightlifting shoes gone bad or something. For sure, get yourself some solid base, but spend the least amount if squats is all you'd be using them for.my current shoes are an old pair of basketball shoes I had laying around that I felt were stable enough to not lose to much drive. I burst the little gel/air pocket in them so I not sure that can be repaired, I'd also like a proper pair![]()

If you don't need a heel or want them flat and cheap, get some Chucks. Or the Iron Tank high tops (Orion or Titans) are both good.
Wont fit an 11.5? Could be worth finding a local stockist and checking the sizes.spewing I'm a UK 12/US 13 none in that size for the 335's

The 370's seem good value for 170. From memory they were over 200 when i bought my 335's

I'd go the black/orange colourway in a 13 then!was wearing a UK 13 for most my life until I realised I can actually fit nicely into a 12 so 11.5 might be a push
Hahah that cracked me up cheeky boycheers fadi, I saw. Not sure which way I'll depends what the bank says ( missus )
