Width of foot stance during conventional deadlifts

Not talking about semi-sumo here.

Shoulder width vs narrow width-does it matter?

Anyone who seem to find the narrow width easier?

i like my feet spread about the width they would be if i was doing a vertical jump which for me is barely wider than shoulders. I just feel like thats a powerful position for me personally. I've never thought about if it made a difference though, just doin what felt natural.

I go just inside shoulder-width, so that my arms hang straight down to the bar.

This. Although sometimes I use a wider stance. Even half way through a set I will switch to sumo just to get a few more reps out.

This, mostly because the bar that I use does not have knurling in this area. This stance keeps the knurling away from my shins (not that its a problem).

Narrow for me too. Feels more stable, found it also helps with making my quads feel it.

Narrow, heels about 4" apart.
