The local ones from power-firm have a fairly good reputation (been around for a few years and I have never heard a complaint about them), they are custom made.

I have to say that I am partial to the adidas shoes. I have a pair of 2004 adistar's (from Dynamic) and they provide very good control and feel for squatting (and snatching). The 2008 model ("adistar" and "iron worker") has a single strap (The earlier style tried 3 velcro straps; great control and feel, but a minor nuisance).There are a few online options out there all appear to be very good:

Harv, here is a link to Power Firm. He is in Transcona and they are fine shoes! I've been using Dave's pair to squat in for the past few months.
