Deadlifts, shoes, and foot health
Coach, have searched the site about olympic shoes and deadlifts, have found nothing regarding foot health, only performance.
Yet viewing a video on Art of Manliness you specifically say a key value of lifting shoes is the support they give and that the human foot is (paraphrasing) "not designed to lift heavy poundages with a rotating sleeve barbell"
Can you comment more on this subject of long-term foot health, and your opinions on deadlifting in particular, where the common view is to lift as close to barefooted as possible?
Thanks.

Flat soled shoes or deadlift slippers are the way to go.
The logic book old man. Buy it.
Here, I'll do it for you:
So what? "Because X does it such way, means it is correct for all people."
See the fallacy?
Probably not.
