These if I think I am going to be able to squat heavy.

The hidden key pocket is required for squat day for sure

These when I know my knees aren't feeling it. My gym is in my garage so I wear whatever I want.

I forgot they had a pocket! I bought them back in the spring of 2005 when I was still doing the bmx thing. By November I had torn my right shoulder and left knee in a dirt jumping crash. Learned that even though I felt 21 at 35 my body proved otherwise! After the surgeries it was February 2010 before I could workout normally again. Well, as close to normal as I can for being 47 and 5 surgeries later!

12EE steel-toed boots for legs.

Then, any sneakers that i can find at a reasonable price.

great shoe!
Agreed. They've held up incredibly well. Almost look brand new after 2 years of constant use.

If you Olympic squat meaning high bar placement and going down upright truly ass to grass you will do better with a shoe meant for Olympic lifting. If you do a power lifting type squat with low bar placement bending over somewhat with a wide stance as you go down then a shoe that's flat is better. Both should be hard soled. Never a running type sneaker.
