GAT German Army Trainers such as Adidas sambas and similar athletic shoes are well documented among special forces as seen on rednote special forces enthusiasts posts
How do those compare to converses? I can imagine doing this in most adidas tennis shoes - well I can’t really “imagine” jumping off a building at all actually, but my point is that my memory of wearing converses is that I got very little support compared to a more typical athletic shoe. Fucked up my heel for a while actually and I had to stop wearing them.
Sambas definitely have more sole depth and bounce–and grip–than chucks, but they’re still pretty dang thin. Meant for hard cuts on indoor soccer turf, originally.

Sambas are pretty flat but I think they have more cushion than a chuck
