Great bargain. Been looking at a few reviews and all in they seem to be a great pair of lifters. For 55 quid its a no brainer. If you dont like them just stick them on ebay.

Thanks op, i look forward to the crushing defeat when i throw an extra 10 kg on the bar and realise my lifters wont squat for me!!

I can never get past the "Delivery Address" age when I try to checkout. Anyone else get that or am I missing something obvious?

Powerlifts would be better shoe if you're going to be squatting as well:

Ah. I had originally seen it maybe 2 weeks back for a whole range of sizes when I had to withstand the urge to buy. But I only saw this thread now

Are they unisex?

Actually I saw a review here where they seem to compare reasonably well with the adipowers and are pretty similar height/firmness wise to the powerlifts:

The upper isnt as firm, which would possibly be an issue for me though not necessarily for everyone.

Same shoes but different colours when you filter by gender. But no different.

Just watching a vid last week by Mark Rippetoe who said you have to use lifting shoes and not to lift barefoot

Most gyms won't allow this.

Are these shoes just designed for weight training

Promo code expired!

I got mine today, really good quality.

It's a little tight in the toe's compared to my work boots, but after reading up about weightlifting shoe's most say they should be snug fitting to stop your feet sliding.

I haven't used them in anger yet, but done a few body weight squats and I get a big positive feel from them, easier to sink your hips lower.

I am size 9 in a regular shoe, would you go a size up?

ckeng

I'm am 8.5 to a 9 in regular shoes, depending on who's making them. I went with an 8.5 in these and they're just a little too tight - as in sending them back and ordering a 9 instead.

Mine just on the tight side as well but reckon they might be ok with a bit of wear, that and Adidas dont exchange sizes, they refund and now they are more expensive...I should have just ordered two different sizes at the time

@Omega28 Id go up a half a size, you dont want them loose either

Even cheaper right now, with promo code 'friends' taking the price down to €52

They actually said that if i return the shoes they'll also reset the voucher so I could get the original extra 20% discount on a new order. I just didn't fancy the wait for all the processing. Might have to cancel the 9s and try out this friends code now though.

Cheers Alf just got these for €30. Shame they are orange but they'll do the job once I renew the gym membership!!

I've measured my feet they way they say and I'm exactly a size 11.

I've tried them on again and it kind of feels like my big toe is suffocating, I might go for the 11.5 but I don't want these loose and feet sliding in them......humm what to do.

They will be for squatting only and maybe deadlifts.

I have just ordered again with the new code, you have 100 days to send back so Im just going to try both pairs on at the same time and decide, my only concern is they break in a little and loosen in which case the tight ones would be perfect

I wear size 11 in the likes of Sambas and I go smaller on the shoes. They'll be tight but you only need them for squats and maybe bench. They don't need to be 'walk around comfortable'. Just not uncomfortable to squat in.

Don't use them for deadlifts.

Do you see the black strip across the toe, when my toe's curl up they press up under that part, which is like a reinforced strip, I'm worried if I get a bigger pair my toe will eventually poke a hole through the blue mesh it happens in my normal gym trainers.

Out of curiosity - why do you not recommend that?

They pitch you forward and, for most people, change the leverages for deadlifting in a way that's not advantageous.

Omega28

I wear a 9 and purchased a 9.5 as I heard they're a tight fitting!

caviardreams

I got my usual adidas size (thought find adidas a bit snugger than say nike) and they fit fine.

I like these - got some powerlifts recently and have found them good. Heel on these is broadly comparable to the powerlifts imo - feels just a little higher maybe but not much in it, and very firm. Toe box is much comfier with the light mesh, so could see these being used as an all round weights shoe (walking lunges, step-ups etc., even walking around the gym etc.) as well as being decent for squats. Black looks pretty nice too - for €56 including delivery a very good deal imo - thanks OP.

squatting and pressing is ok yeah and then chucks for dls?

Yup.

The elevated heel works against you getting behind the bar....well, for most people.

I just use anything with flat, minimal sole ft DLs.

yeah i got the above shoes to try out for squats i normally use chucks or socks depending on where i am

Phil.x

Well I used mine in anger last night and I'm glad I didn't exchange them for a bigger fitting size, good planted feel when squatting and good on the Leg press as well.

I'm amazed how a shoe could have such a positive effect.
