If you’re squatting in running shoes, you’re squatting wrong. Period.
Flat-soled shoes like VaderPro are the gold standard for squatting because they provide the solid, stable base your body needs to generate maximum power.
Why Flat Soles Work Better:
No Compression: Running shoes compress under load, destabilizing your lift. Flat soles stay rigid.
Proper Depth & Alignment: Flat shoes encourage a more natural ankle-knee-hip alignment, improving depth.
Greater Force Transfer: With no squish beneath you, every bit of strength gets transferred into the ground.
Prevents Forward Leaning: Unlike heeled shoes that can tip you forward, flat soles encourage a more balanced squat.
Unless you’re a competitive powerlifter needing a heel for mobility compensation, flat soles are the right choice for raw strength training. And VaderPro does it best.
