Thanks! Yes people recommend going down a size when you read the reviews so I should probably do that. Thanks for the advice - very helpful

You want them a bit tighter than normal runners. Nice 'n' snug like.0 -

Was just looking at those shoes. I thought you were suppose to squat in flat shoes with no cushion in the heel. Or did I pick it up totally wrong??
Yes and no.
"squat shoes" are specially made with a solid heel (used to be wood!). The solid heel makes it a bit easier to get into a good position at the bottom of a squat, which means you squat more weight.
Flat shoes like cons have been recommended for a couple of reasons;
1) they typically have solid soles (good)
2) they allow you to "sit back" more into the squat, which can be a good thing depending on the style of squat you do, but 99%* of the population would be better served by using a slight heel elevation
*the 1% of people who would be better in flat shoes are multiply powerlifters, and if that doesn't make sense to you, don't worry - you're not one of them 0 -
