Let's be careful about recommending certain footwear to prevent injury. Yes, people like lifting in chucks, but this is because they feel closer to the ground, which may feel more stable during heavy lifts. Claiming that wearing chucks will prevent injury, however, is misleading as it isn't necessarily true. Flexibility, individual biomechanical characteristics, different types of feet, and technique will all impact what kind of footwear is best.
Wow, readers (who are also excellent bloggers) are dropping knowledge bombs.
Is this really happening on a menswear blog?

It’s true that shoes will vary a bit/person, but a minimal drop is important when going heavy with the lower body. By all means, figure out what’s best for an individual, but there’s a reason powerlifting shoes have no lift ex: bit.ly/iFPd2B

True facts. If you’re running (or cardio, I suppose) go get fitted at a special running store, if you have the means.
