I ended buying a pair of Ristos on a recommendation from a friend at my box. They were pretty tight as well but they felt better on my feet. It's been over a month and they're still uncomfortable but they have given in some. I experienced the same problem and ended up selling mine on Ebay.

I have EE width feet and don't normally fit into Nike shoes. I was hoping b/c this review says they are a wider fit that wouldn't be a problem, I guess not though. Can you update us if the shoes have broken in at all? Or other shoe's you're considering for your wide feet? Thanks! I have the exact same problem.

Do those exist or was that just a concept? They look badass. I keep seeing that picture labeled anthracite green. Do those exist or was that just a concept? They look badass.

I generally wear EE width shoes, and these were just a little too snug. I thought I could get away with it because it wasn't like I was going to be wearing them for more than maybe 45 minutes at a time, but after about half an hour my feet were starting to go a little numb. Unlike normal shoes that get worn daily, I have no idea how long or even if they ever would have loosened up enough to be comfortable. I just got a pair of Air Romaleo 2s from RogueFitness.

It isn't a knee angle or calf flexibility issue so shoes won't really affect it. It is mainly a lower back and or hip-flexor issue OR if your knees are bowing inward. Try doing a lot of box squats to build the muscle control you need in your lower lumbar region. I have issues with the "butt-wink" as well and no shoes have helped this.

Will these oly shoes help me shift more weight on my heels and also engage the hamstrings while squatting and help get rid of the curve? Also, when is the review of the Romaleos 2 coming out?(i just ordered a pair from APS) Hey I have problems with a lower lumbar curve with my squats, aka, butt wink.

Why are some shoes great for some lifts, but not others? I just what a shoe that kicks ass in every lift! =) Yeah, I I noticed that. Why are some shoes great for some lifts, but not others?

Each brand/model has its own strengths and weaknesses as well as styling. You need to try a few and determine what you like and don't like. That will depend on your personal preference.

I need a pair for my three big lifts (bench, squat, deadlift) well four if you include the press. Can these shoes actually help?! Are these shoes worth it?

Width is good and the shoes fits true to my regular size with Nikes. The only problem ive had is with the heel height. Ive had trouble on the front squat and deadlift with these shoes. Is this just a technique flaw that is coming out with these shoes or is it all in my head. Any feedback would be great. Got mine dirt cheap from a Nike Rep at the NSCA Convention.
