Affordable lifting shoes? (lemmy.world)

Hello, I hope this type of post is allowed here.

I'm a beginner lifter and my budget is ~$50 (USD). Any possibility of finding good lifting shoes around this price point, or am I going to have to shell out more money? :')

Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks!

I've got a few different models of Xero shoes. I think they all would be fine. I've even used the slip-on Aptos. The only thing I don't do in then is squat because i just don't have the ankle mobility yet.

Thanks! So it sounds like this shoe being a running shoe shouldn't make a difference.
