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.
