What is your preferred footware when it comes to squats?
I've replaced my old Chuck Taylor's with the new ones that have an extra string loop on the tongue, which I find gives me an extra bit of metatarsal support over the old ones.
Reebok Boxing Boots. They came out a few years ago when they became an official UFC sponsor for only $99.00! Most comfortable and supportive shoes I've ever worn! Super light weight and the sole is flat with grips on the bottom.
I'll never Squat without them. Seriously, the shoes are that badass!
I usually wear shoes but my chosen foot wear preference while on vacation are sandals. Recently was called out by the fitness guy at the hotel in Cancun...he thought I was crazy. I said a lift is a lift and id rather get one in than not all
I'm afraid I'll be learning the hard way on this one.

Did he then proceed to have a client bosu ball squat with kettlebells swinging by bands off the bar?
One day Ori remind me to tell you the story of a pinky toe, an errant 25 pound plate and a trip to an ER. LOL!! BE SAFE YOUNG MAN!
Makes me cringe...anyone that has had a plate fall on toes knows and I can only imagine the pain with a bare foot. Fuck a bunch of that... I still get nervous when I am around people dropping dumbbells when they are done with their sets. I stay far far away from them because they don't understand that big heavy circular objects can bounce off rubber and roll to an unwanted location.
