Serious answer: something with a hard flat sole like chucks or weightlifting shoes. Barefoot is an acceptable alternative.
>>83515
Running shoes are far from ideal, especially if you're doing squats and deadlifts, WHICH YOU BETTER FUCKING BE. Running shoes are soft and cushiony. That's bad for stability when you're trying to lift heavy things and put them back down. Its like standing on jello.

My gym doesn't allow barefoot either. Get a pair of VivoBarefoot Ultra shoes. They have a 3mm sole and are as close to barefoot as you can get.
Bonus that they aren't those ridiculous toe shoes.

What about sole, I don't think it'd be solid enough

Do people who say they lift barefoot actually mean they wear only socks? Don't you precious little toes get cold and feet all dirty?
I realize socks can be slippery and actual barefoot surely is more safe. That's why I got socks that have dem little rubber spots under the foot. You know, almost like ones that usually are for small children.

Best part of a home gym is that you can lift completely naked like the Greek olympians did. The only problem is catching your dick on the bar during a deadlift.

You guys just reminded me of this old geezer called the old gunpowder man. Over 70 years old and lifts 200 kg quite literally in the frost. He uses some sort of a heat blower to warm up the bar before gripping it.

The higher the normal force, the higher the friction force.
Meaning, the heavier you are, the more it takes for you to actually slide somewhere. Your socks would have to be REALLY slippery for you to actually slip somewhere when you're lifting.

There are some exercises that you should wear shoes for, like lunges or maybe calf raises, because they involve friction and foot support that can save you from injury. Other than that I like barefoot because home gym master race.

OLY lifts tho' m8. Your power clean benefits from heel support for example. Deadlift in bare feet every time though.

Well, yeah, not saying you shouldn't wear shoes lifting, proper lifting shoes are great. Just that you shouldn't be afraid of slipping because you're wearing socks deadlifting or something.
Personally, I wear my Powerlifts on every lift except deadlift. Deads feel way better barefooted.

For squatting, it depends on your stance, leverages, etc. Everyone was jizzing over Oly shoes for a while, so I got some. They ended up over-emphasizing my quads, which were already dominant, and fucking up my lower back.
I went back to flat shoes with a hard sole (pic related) and it fixed everything. I think Oly shoes tend to work better for people with a narrow stance.
