I am putting together a list of the top 5 best flat sole shoes for deadlifting and squatting for a friend who is starting a home gym in Toronto. I have always been a fan of the classic Chuck Taylors but I know there are better options out there now like the Sabo Deadlift or the Xero Prio.

I find that for deadlifts being as flat as possible is key to keeping the bar close and reducing the range of motion. For squats I prefer flats because it forces me to use my own mobility rather than relying on a heel. I want to include a mix of budget and premium options on the list.

What are your top picks for flat shoes this year? I am looking for durability and grip above all else. I hate it when the sole starts to peel off after only a few months of heavy use. Let me know what you would rank in your top five!
