  • Do my shoes limit my mobility?
  • How can you increase squat depth?
  • What does an Olympic weightlifting shoe with an elevated heel do?
  • Are heels elevated squats bad?
  • Why do powerlifters use Chuck Taylor’s for lifting?
  • How do my shoes influence my propulsive strategy?
  • What shoes are better for agility?
  • Do my shoes change my feet?
  • What is the best heel to toe ratio for my shoes?
  • What places me at risk for an ankle sprain?
