Why I switched to flats.
-
Note: This post is NOT a heeled vs flat debate but my personal experience with both, since y’all like to comment on my footwear preference 🤣
-
I didn’t always squat in flats. In fact, my first pair of squat shoes were the Adidas Adipowers before switching to Nike Romaleos (mostly because they looked cooler. Priorities duhh). These last few meets I squatted in Jordan 1s. The reason I switched from heels to flats is because I pitched too far forward in heeled shoes. This caused me to put majority of the pressure onto my heels instead of even pressure throughout the midfoot. With that being said, I don’t have any ankle mobility restrictions or depth issues which in that case a heeled shoe may be warranted.
- 
At the end of the day it really comes down to personal preference and what you’re most comfortable in. It’s okay to experiment with both! Who knows, maybe I’ll switch back to a lower heeled squat shoe in the future🙃😉
