 balls one size too big Member 338, 604 posts SQ 175, BP 130, DL 210515.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | Evening all I'm finding that my trainers compress too much under heavy loads, so I was interested to know what the general feeling is towards Adidas Ironwork shoes? They look pretty expensive so its not like you can buy them on a whim. But at the end of the day I'm willing to do whatever it takes to become lemon fresh. | ||

Id happily replace them though. | ||

 Dont eat my leg! Member 325, 189 posts SQ 145, BP 117.5, DL 190452.5 kgs @ 87.5kgs UnEq | Just for looks, the new nikes look awesome. They've kitted out China, the US and Ukraine in them for Beijing. Apparently they're out on general release after that. http://i2.sinaimg.cn/ty/nike/p/2008-05-13/U344P6T12D3659945F44... | ||

Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator | Very nice. Im hoping with some new laces mine will last a good year or two yet. Im also going to get a fraction more heal added soon. Mish, I love them, they just take a beating, would certainly get Adidas again. They fit me really well. | ||

 fighting woo with woo Member 206, 1491 posts SQ 227.5, BP 165, DL 260652.5 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | I bought these last week: [url=]http://www.pullum-sports.co.uk/clothing-and-shoes/shoes/metal-... [/url] I tried squatting in them on Friday. They feel secure and they fit nicely. However, they have no heels, though, so I'm beginning to wonder if that was a mistake, as every other example shown on here seems to have them. | ||

Plenty of people prefer to squat without a heal, most of the oly guys prefer a heel and a lot of ipf style squatters do too. | ||
