Vibram Fivefingers for Lifting?

Saw some people in the gym with these kind of shoes. They look like toes on shoes…anyone seen em? Anyways was wondering if anyone had any experience lifting with them. …so if so lemme know. Currently using classic chucks and they work great, but always open to somethin new and different. Also wanted to buy some new shoes for doing sprints and think maybe i could use these shoes for both if possible.

They’re excellent for lifting. If you want to use them for sprints check out the new Bikila model.

IMO they are great for every thing cept wide stance squats, chucks are still good for those. i wear my vibrams for everything except squats

They aren’t currently allowed in USAPL, but I don’t know about other feds.
