This shoe is perfect for training, except for a few things: 1. The toe box is narrow, but it's made for wrestling, not weightlifting, so I get it. 2. The online size chart of this product differs from the shoe label. I would suggest rate. I usually wear a 10-10.5 in women's running shoes and bought 10 in this shoe and it fits perfectly. I like that the shoe fits snugly in the middle of my foot and provides arch support and traction with the bottom of the shoe. great for deadlifts.
