Reviews

"Order at least a half size up! As many reviewers have stated and as the product page suggests, order a size up. For me a half size was just perfect. Shoes feel nice. Much better than setting up wedges or putting heels on weight plates and trying to get them equally spaced. The feeling of not having think about that makes these shoes a worthwhile investment."

— Miguel (5/5)

Love these!

"My first pair of lifting shoes. These have really changed how im lifting. By proviing me a solid foundation for pushig through and staying grounded. Im normally an 8. 5W and followed the advice to size up to 9. Tad long but fits great witout putting pressure on the side of my foot. I wish it was wider so i didnt have to have a longer shoe but still manageable"

— Grace K. (5/5)

Shoes seem to run large

"I like a lot of things about the shoes but I felt like they run a bit large. I have always ordered men’s 12 and these shoes feel just a bit like clown shoes. Pretty wide at the arch and more than a thumb of space past the big toe. It’s borderline too big and if I bought them at a store, I would have returned them. I know different brands size differently but I probably would have ordered a half size smaller if not full size if I knew they tended to be large."

— Alex R. (4/5)

Missing link

"I wish i would have bought these a long time ago. Squatting with good position is so much easier now. The heel is just high enough to keep the chest high while in the hole of the squat, and the wide toe box allows my feet to spread naturally while the whole foot feels stable in the movement."

— Matthew K. (5/5)

Big help for heel lift!

"I have a problem with my heels lifting off when doing squats. These shoes help me drive with my heels to lift the weight. Are they comfortable shoes? Honestly not really. They are built like a tank made to lift weight. They hug your feet tighter than any shoe I have worn but they fit. I wear a 12 extra wide or an 13 if no wider sizes are available and I ordered a 13 so you may want to size up one to get a good fit. I wish more stores carried these! If you can try them on before buying, you should!"

— Shae S. (5/5)

Nice shoe, too small

"I’ve been a Crossfitter since 2012 and when I discovered lifters it was a game changer. I had been a Nike Romaleo person but decided to give the TYR’s a try since they were a sponsor of the CF Games this year. While the regular sneakers are great when they say these run small order up, they mean it. I normally order a half size up and that is fine. Not here returned these for a whole size up. The build quality of the shoe seems top notch, but as I was not able to lace up my left shoe (the bigger foot) they are getting poor marks for comfort, and fit. Can’t really speak to durability as I can’t wear them."

— Thomas N. (3/5)

Solid shoe for a wide foot

"I was a little concerned that this wouldn’t fit because the 2s don’t offer wide sizes, but they fit perfectly. Very stable and good material, would highly recommend."

— Daniel L. (5/5)

Fantastic Squat Shoes

"Allows me to hit depth, I feel better squatting heavy, and people think they're so cool. I should've gotten these a long time ago. I'm a personal trainer and these were recommended to me by another power lifter and the hype was everything and more. Looking forward to leg day!"

— Alex S. (5/5)
