    They aren't that fashionable (....says the one who colour co-ordinates her gym gear to match her shoes)

    and what for women?

    Women's feet are the same as mens aren't they?

    Is there any reason why Power Perfects have those little air holes on them? I think mine would look quite nice without them, but as it is they just look like blocky bowling shoes.

    Women have more toes, no?

    Chuck Taylor’s.

    Used by power lifters for decades and do the job. Also don't look as special as magic crossfit/powerlifting shoes.

    He's looking shoes for weightlifting not powerlifting.

    Used by multi ply powerlifters who sit back into squats suits. Not by raw/single ply lifters who need to stay more upright.

    All the big raw/single ply squats are done in weightlifting shoes.

    Devil is in the details.

    I am looking for weight-lifting shoes for myself. All that I need is comfort. :)
