Explain to us the deal with slippers, chucks, no shoes or whatever....why and whats the purpose?....Explain the benefits.... i've actually used all of these. the idea behind the slippers are to provide a little grip but mainly make you as low to the ground as possible but still have something on your feet thats legal in competition. no shoes of course will make as close as possible to the ground and shorten your ROM but you can't pull that way in a meet. my personal favorites are the chucks. they give great grip, a solid base (flat sole) and relatively low to the ground. also by pulling the soles out of a pair of chucks, (they're just glued in) they become as low as the slippers as the rubber is really pretty thin. i've hard good things about wrestling shoes also but havent tried them myself. |

I roll with Slippers and Soccer Socks. Reason for my choice like Derek said I want to get close to the bar as possible as a conventional puller and the Soccer Socks will help ease the bar off your shins.   These items are fairly inexpensive, you can obtain both of the for about $10.00! |

I wear wrestling shoes latley. I have pulled in boots, socks, and even pulled in adidas sandles. Really at the end of the day you just need a flat solid surface that you can be compfortable in. I need ankle support because I am a true heal driver when I lift. I end up with my feet rolled over on the side when I pull hard. I am a sumo puller in case some of you did not know. Conventional guys and girls tend to not have this problem. Do what you like. When it is all said and done either you can or you can't.
