Great shoe

The shoe fits great, good support and is great for deadlifting and squatting, haven't used it on Olympic lifts yet but cant wait. In all a shoe I would definitely recommend to someone looking for comfort and stability.
Pros: lightweight, comfortable, good cushioning, breathable

I am a female and I was a little afraid of ordering mens lifting shoes online. I wear an 8-8.5 in ladies shoes and a 6.5 fit me PERFECTLY. They look really great on also. I love how stable they are and how pressure was relieved from my knees when I am doing heavier squats. I would recommend this shoe for lifting.
Pros: lightweight, runs true to size, good cushioning, good for ladies

This is my first pair of lifting shoes. I got them because I've been doing a lot of heavy squats and my trainers weren't cutting it. They are super comfortable, extremely stable and true to fit. If you're having problems deciding between these and the Adi Power or Power Perfect II, go with these, unless you've got the money to blow. I wanted to make sure I was getting a quality lifting shoe and I think I made the best decision for the money. Get them now!
Pros: good traction, high performance, runs true to size, good arch support, comfortable, good cushioning, breathable, stable heel

Very happy with these shoes. Reviews will show that they are not as hard on the bottom, but when I got them they are just as hard as the wood ones. So if you need to save some money these are a great way to go! I would 100% recommend these shoes!

Been a great addition to my olympic lifting routines , I've noticed I'm a lot more stable and secure through my feet and able to generate a lot more down force when dead lifting and squating. A great value for money product for people looking at a basic lifting shoe.
Pros: runs true to size, durable, comfortable

Using Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength weightlifting method, and these make a big difference. Really anchor you to the ground, reinforce proper posture.

I had to order a half size up. I have the Adidas Samba's in a 14 and I went with a 14.5 to get the right fit. It's amazing the difference you feel in the bottom of a squat or a snatch. Great shoe.
Pros: lightweight, comfortable

Bought these so I would have extra support doing the ground based excercises such as the squat, deadlift, and standing press. Not only are they comfortable, they also put your feet in the right positition for optimal balance and support in the excercise . A strap across the middle "tightens" the feel around your foot if you need them to be more snug. Fit size runs the same as my other shoes.
Pros: high performance, runs true to size, comfortable

I've only had this shoe for a couple of weeks, but so far I'm happy with it. It's quite narrow for the size, but I don't have particularly wide feet, so that's not a problem. I don't know if lifting shoes tend to be narrow in general, as I don't have any experience before this with them. I'm using them primarily for front squatting, and they've been good for that - very stable when the straps are tightened. They even look pretty good too. We'll see how the durability works out, but they seem pretty good quality, so I expect that'll be ok. So, I'd definitely recommend them unless you have wide feet.
Pros: lightweight, very stable
Cons: somewhat narrow

I'd been in high-top, flat sole Vans, and I do a Westside Barbell style workout program for BMX racing. Needless to say, I was very pleased when I got the Adidas Powerlifts just before my 1RM day and that night I kept going up by 10lbs, 10lbs, 10lbs. The stability and body positioning with the heel seems to have really helped me. In the weeks since I'm still very happy with them and glad to have them as part of my stronger and faster mission.
I haven't tried them for a CrossFit class yet. I figure that these will be a bit plus for squats at least.
Pros: good traction, lightweight, high performance, good arch support, durable, comfortable, breathable

Really nice quality shoe for low price. I never used a special shoe while competing in PL contests; however, now that I'm switching my focus to more fitness/olympic routine I definitely see the advantages of a shoe like this. I've increased the weight that I'm using in both the snatch and clean/jerk, which I attribute to the heal elevation. I'm sure these shoes will also help those who squat with a high bar position and/or narrow stance, but I wouldn't use them for DL's. These shoes fit my wide feet comfortably, and the size 10 shoe fit the same as my running shoes length wise.

I've been crossfitting for a year now. Started out in a running shoe and then graduated to a minimalist shoe. This is my first weightlifting shoe and I've seen immediate results on my squats and deadlifts. I definitely recommend this for any first time buyers.
