A high-stepping, ultra-sassy look comes from Pleaser's Sky slide. It has a clear vinyl upper and a provocatively high platform and heel that'll put you head and shoulders above the rest.
You've not once been argumentative. It's been a healthy exchange I think. I hope you think so too.
Having a bit of a heel gives us a mechanical advantage when coming up out of the hole. World records are trained and set with heels from .5 to over an inch in height. If heavier weight could be moved in flats, the big boys would do so. So, we insist on a heel. All folks doing hard manual labor do too. Top quality work boots from Red Wing, White, etc all have a heel to toe drop. We want the same.
Dropping weights on the foot is certainly one safety issue.
The more easily overlooked safety issues include the necessity for a non-compressible sole. A squishy sole makes it hard to control the bar and puts us at a grave disadvantage. I've seen many a bailed squat because someone was wearing a squishy shoe and got off their mid-foot. (Nike flyknits are the absolutely worst.) A non-compressible sole allows us to transfer force more effectively too.
The strap serve a couple of purposes. The straps pull the foot into the heel cup and keep it from moving around within the shoe during the squat. More stable, more safe.
The straps also contain and compress all the tiny bones that comprise the arch. We wear belts. We wear knee sleeves. We wear shoes with straps for the same reasons.
All of these things point to using the squat shoe.
I remember that the squat and deadlift made my arches sore when I got started lifting. The foot certainly gets trained and adapts just like the rest of the meat machine. Our main concern isn't getting the strongest foot possible though, it's in getting the King of Lifts, the Squat, as strong as possible. The strong squat pays many more dividends to the lifter than a foot that is "in LP". The stability the shoe provides is more important to the human than squatting with bare feet.
There are some zero drop lifting shoes. Don't buy them. Your anthropometry doesn't warrant them. The heels on the Adidas shoes you need are .68". We aren't talking about Laboutins or Pleasers. https://www.amazon.com/Pleaser-SKY302-C-Womens-Sky-302/dp/B00125NYFA/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1499614279&sr=8-7&keywords=pleaser+shoe
Don't make shoes the limiting factor in your training.
