"Upgraded from the L-1. Instantly noticed an improvement, just love the feel and balance, the fit seems a little better than the L-1s. Bought this color at first because they were on sale but I actually really love the funkiness, a total change from my all black L-1s/ I look forwarded to using these for a long time!"
"Too stiff around my ankle. They hurt. And thr bend in the toe area hurts. I tried on my friend’s L-1 before buying theee and thry were so comfortable. These are so stiff all round they literally hurt my feet. I bought them for the wide toes box due to a Morten’s neuroma in my left foot but these do not stop the pain. Really disappointed."
"The wide toe box is legit, coming from other lifters, my toes never felt more free. The only thing I'd suggest is going up half size, only because it knda squeezes the sides of your feet. But overall good!!!"
"I don't have HUGE feet. But I expected these to fit wide and they still restrict the toe box. Also I learned too late these RUN SMALL. I'm a true size 8 yet the 8 had my toes hitting the top. 3rd party sites like Zappos are clear that this shoe runs tight yet this information is NO WHERE to be found in TYR plus they charge a restocking fee for returns. You would think this info would be here to help inform us but it's not."
"They are perfect for my long femurs and help me get my knees over toes normally a size 10 in most shoes went a half size up and they fit perfectly"
"Upgraded to these from my Nike Savaleos and it wasn’t even close. The Nikes ran tight and the toe box never gave me the room I wanted. The L-2 Lifters fixed that immediately — comfortable, locked-in, and roomy where it counts. These things are rock solid. You get comfort, support, and that meaty, weighted feel right when you’re set up to pull something heavy. It’s the kind of shoe that makes you feel planted before the bar even moves. Yeah, they’re primo-priced. Took me two years to finally pull the trigger. But this is one of those “should’ve bought them sooner” purchases. If you’re on the fence and you train seriously, stop waiting. Highly recommend."
"I have been looking for a sturdy lifting shoe as I have been doing heavy lifting in my new journey of body building training. These shoes are definitely helping with my shoe staying in place on the machines and my foot not sliding down. I followed the recommendations from other shoe owners to go up a half of size and fits fine. I like all the protections on the shoe being in a gym people leave weights everywhere to fit their exercise in front of a mirror and it’s good to have that safety."
"These shoes make a big difference in my workouts. A perfect fit on my wide feet. My coach recommended them and I'm so happy I bought them. Great investment!"
"I needed some new lifters. Have had Inov8's. Reeboks. Nike. And these TYRs feel great. Love the toe room! They seem be sized same as Nike, i didnt up or down size. Kinda blockish but not a bad thing. Id not do Wods in em. Im 6'1 215# athletic build. Time to put in some work. Lets Go!"
"Feels like you are putting your feet into little tanks and going off to war. Extremely sturdy, very high quality build construction and materials, and my feet have never felt as stable or secure in a shoe in my life. They are a delight to squat and deadlift in. Also the design goes super hard. Worth every penny."
