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 used to have a pair of converse a few years ago but they are not very flexible, right? Ideally I want to be able to bend my toes to do things like lunges. Would they work for that?

Even converse are like $50 in my area (& online too) so they're a last resort for me.

I got some of these CT Ultra Mesh for like, maybe $30 or less USD at an outlet store.

They are very flexible, have a flat sole.

Thank you! Maybe I should hit up a brick-and-mortar store and try them on.
