Owned a pair of Rogue Do-wins prior to these. They did the job but are not anywhere on the same level as the Adipowers. Perfect for me since I have a narrow foot and the Nike Romaleos did not feel as secure as these do. Seen a huge difference the first time I tried snatching in them. Felt much more support and balanced in these compared to my old OLYs. Squats are definitely more stable and been able to PR with these after the first time I squatted with them. Would high recommend to anyone serious about Olympic style lifting or just want a shoe that will assist you with your squats. I only wear these for heavy loads at low reps or when I'm goin for maxes. Definitely would not wear these during a regular Met Con or WOD.
Pros: lightweight, runs true to size, comfortable, breathable

I was hesitant about getting these because of the high price, i'm glad i pulled the trigger, the ankle stability when squatting heavy (300 & up) is amazing, well worth it for serious leg workouts.

I use these for squats and cleans, and they are outstanding. The feeling you get when you properly strap these up is amazing. I've noticed that when I'm wearing these I drive up with way more power, because I'm confident that my cushioned shoes aren't going to give out and my foot isn't going to roll. I've lifted in chucks too, but these are more stable, the wedge makes it easier to hit depth, and the arch support is amazing. I'd definitely suggest them.
Pros: good traction, high performance, runs true to size, good arch support

After get injured because my regular shoes couldn't hold be during a deep squat, I finally got these great pair if WL shoes.
Although the price really pushes anyone off, its a small price you would pay to avoid injury and bad form.
I feel my power lifts stronger and more confident now.
And for me it was really that much change.
After reviewing some other models .. I finally tried the best I could find.

Shipped timely and product was in good condition when it arrived. My foot at its widest part near the toes is just over 4" and they have plenty of room so I don't know what people were talking about when they say these are really narrow. My buddy wears the same size shoes and has a wider foot along with 80+ pounds on me and he said they for great as well so if you're worried about that I wouldn't be! Solid as a piece of friggen steel or granite! Super planted on my lifts and these shoes along with some rehband knee sleeves I have hit PR's in the first couple workouts with them. Legs (quads and hammys) are SHOT after a workout and I love it haha!

Does what a lifting shoe is supposed to do. Your feet feel 'locked in' during oly lifts, and you can really sit back into them. As a crossfitter, I am still able to double unders and a few other movements in them, but definitely want wear them for heavy lifting days and selected WODs only.
I have a slightly wider foot, so I went up half a size and they fit very nicely.
Pros: good traction, comfortable

I usually wear a 13 in nikes so i got these in a 13 and fit was good except for the narrow with. I dont have wide feet but these really cramp the front half of foot. Other them that solid shoe that really glues you to the floor. Wore them 2 full days straight for a oly cert class and made a huge difference. If i tried these on before i bought i would not have gotten them but for that price keeping now

I bought these for my wife since she has very narrow feet. She wears a size 10 in Chuck Taylor's and I bought her an 8.5 in these and they fit great. The quality in construction is obvious. There are no flaws and she claims to feel anchored to the ground when squatting and overhead pressing.
Pros: good traction, high performance, good arch support, durable, comfortable

Shoes are excellent - will improve eveerything you do in them.
Squatting deeper, SL Squats made easy. Olympic lifting ten times more efficient. You don't realise how hard your old shoes were making the lifts until got the adipowers. Sizing is normal to your normal shoe size. I got a 10 fit perfect compared to 10s in rbok and nike. Look unreal - Get them!

The pictures don't do these shoes justice. Once you pull them out of the box you can see that these shoes will last you a lifetime. They are extremely sturdy and perform great. Very stable with great traction as well as being fairly lightweight, not to mention very nice to look at.
Most reviews I've read have said the shoes run too narrow. I agree they run slightly narrow, and if you have very wide feet they probably won't be for you. However, I would say I have a normal width foot, I think slightly over 4" at widest point, and they fit perfect, nice and snug. They also run true to size in length, I wear a Sz.11 in nearly every shoe so that's what I ordered, and they fit perfect. I could get away with a 1/2 size bigger if I liked them a little roomy, but definitely would not go smaller.
The one negative I would point out so far is I've found them to not be as breathable as I would like. My feet don't sweat terribly in them but they do get pretty warm and I've noticed they're starting to smell a bit once I take them off after my workouts. Minor issue and I wouldn't let it stop you from purchasing these shoes.
I own the Nike Romaleos 1 as well but prefer the Adipowers to those. Both are great shoes, and you probably can't go wrong with either. Everything about these shoes is top of the line, you definitely get what you pay for. If your looking for a great pair of weightlifting shoes these are the ones, don't skimp because these will last you forever. "Buy nice so you don't have to buy twice."
Pros: good traction, lightweight, high performance, durable, comfortable

These were an upgrade from a cheaper Oly lifting shoe. They are very much worth the money. Very solid on the ground yet pretty responsive. I feel like I can lift personal bests everytime I have these on. You won't regret buying these!

Adidas got it right with this shoe.
Still don't know about longevity of the shoe. If it is anything like the Adistar's from years ago, than I'm stoked.
It has a very high heel. If you are not ready for an adjustment to the higher heel than be aware, but offers more stability in the lower squat position.
