Has any of you guys ever wore these for squats??

I got a pair there for a decent price, so ordered them.

I'm too tight to go out and buy expensive weightlifting shoes. Also I didn't want anything with too high a heel.

I always preferred squatting with flats, but maybe a slight rise would help with depth.

I had those for quite some time. massivelt improved stability.
Found depth easier too.

But then my stance went from normal to full on toes touching the mono sides and i went back to chucks.

Thanks for the reply mate.

I squat quite close stance and high bar, so decided to move away from flats. I hope to see a decent carryover.

I have them and love them.

I squat high bar and medium stance, they help me immensely! Great for overhead work too.

I've had 2 pairs mate, very decent shoe for the price.

I have the adipowers now which are noticeably more stable as there is no give whatsoever and the sole is wider however they are an obscene amount of money for what are essentially trainers

I'm glad to hear some real lifters think they are a decent lifting shoe. Good for the price. I'm looking forward to trying them out.

Im confident you will have a positive carryover.

For me it really was the stability and feeling planted that made them worth the purchase.

Just bought a pair squatted in them last night, felt a bit more quad activation in the bottom of the lift but lost balance a bit as I came up. Do you lads think it's just a case of getting used to them?? I'm quite a wide stance squatter but do tend to let the knees move forward as I'm quad dominant and I have good flexibility (I've never struggled with depth). I compete in 5 weeks, do I put them away for this comp and compete in flats or keep with it?? Sorry for the whinging I could just do with some advise from some experienced lads

I use adipowers got them from inzershop.de when I bought an inzer belt from there. Postage remained the same so got few items. At time pound was strong so they worked out reasonably priced. Currently they're on there for 137 euros I think ... plus postage ... I have pins in my left hip and they certainly help with depth and stability as my left femur is 3/4 inch shorter ..
