can i squat in vans?
So, instead, opt for a hard-soled shoe, such as Nike Romaleos shoes (which have a higher heel for greater lift) or the trusty Vans, yes Vans, as sported by many gym-goers who squat and swear-by them. That's because they are designed with a firm, flat sole so that the wearer 'pushes off' with greater energy transfer.
