Weightlifting shoes are definitely better than runners for squatting. But before you buy a pair, make a decision on how you want to squat. Olympic style squatting benefits from getting the knees forward and keeping a very upright torso. This makes the quadriceps do a lot, but it diffuses the hamstrings, so to speak. Weighltifting shoes generally have a big heel in them, which makes it easier to put the knees forwards and go ATG.What about the shoes, will they help? Just asking coz they'd be a big investment, been training in runners for too long.
Idno, I can break parallel with a wide stance (at bodyweight, at least; I've never done sumo squats with weight, so again anything I say on the topic is moot) and my mobility is nothing to write home about.You need pretty disgusting hip mobility to break IPF depth with a wide stance
Greater than 150% of shoulder width
