Favorite high top flat shoes for squatting? I’ve been using Adidas Hard Courts and love them but they are hard to find.

I have switched back to chucks with a thicker side. Brian and a few of the guys on the team have used some Nike Flights and Jordans. Any of them with a nice flat and hard sole is perfect. Just need to make sure the sole doesnt break.

I am partial to Chucks. I have noticed that people with a wider flat foot find it difficult to “grip the floor” due to the narrower toe on the Chucks.
