CONVERSE FOR LIFTING: https://thatfitfriend.com/are-converse-good-lifting/
The Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star is a tried and true classic shoe for strength training and lifting.
Over the last decades, countless athletes and lifters have turned to Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star shoes for their flat sole constructions and good stability. For example, Converse are regularly worn by powerlifters for these reasons.
In this video, I’ll cover if Converse are good for lifting and discuss their performance for squats, deadlifts, and what shoes actually out perform them.

0:24 Are Converse Good for Lifting?
1:38 When Converse Fall Short for Lifting
3:28 Are Converse Good for Squats?
5:06 Are Converse Good for Deadlifts?
6:35 What to Use Instead of Converse
8:12 Final Thoughts
Overall, the Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star is a good shoe for lifting and it will work for most lifters especially beginner and intermediate lifters.
I think Converse start to fall short as you get more specific with your training and want something a little more dialed in for how you lift.
Plus, in 2023 we now have more shoe options than ever for supporting our strength training and lifting performance.
