I usually wear adidas powerlifting shoes. Couldn't find my size so I tried this one. These shoes are decent enough and appear to be well made. The heel lift is about 1/4 higher than the adidas Powerlift and I don't like it. I feel like I'm being thrown far forward on squats and I can't land either. I had high hopes but this is not for me. If you don't mind a higher heel, you might like them. The size is the same as adidas and is otherwise the same.
