I've had Adidas Olympic weightlifting shoes.
First, they were pretty tight. I have wide feet so it was quite uncomfortable. This version is similar except it doesn't have a leather sole and separate heel.
Secondly, they are just for weight lifting, don't bother running on the threadmill in them. The heel and sole have no cushion. Think about running in leather-soled dress shoes with a solid rubber heel.
Thirdly, worth it? No. They are $200. They are worth it if you compete in powerlifting or Olympic weight lifting. There are other shoes you can wear for working out.

I have a pair and they fit like church shoes, ask yourself do you want to lift in your church shoes?
I get why some people like them though particularly if you squat with the bar position conventional. I low bar squat primarily so I'm not sitting straight down I'm sitting back and thus I don't need my heels elevated for that. Like @unit321 said I wouldn't do anything but lift in them, no grocery store trips, driving, nothing if you cop them
I squat and deadlift in chucks or socks in the summer months because them gym floors are cold as hell in these Minnesota winters

On Adidas' site its $90... but I feel ya, I can't see myself buying a pair of shoes only to swap them out 20 mins later to run... lol.
I lift in chucks
+1. Chucks are the next best thing to lifting with just socks on.
You're looking at the wrong shoes. The one that matches the red shoes in the OP's post is $200.

I use em and yes they are worth it, wait for an east bay 20% code
You Win Perfect
bow down
Get them if you are serious about working out. Ain't got shyt to do with bein in competitions or whatever. I bought these last summer and its helped with my squats, deadlifts, and power cleans tremendously. They're supposed to fit your feet like a glove. These ain't running shoes
Who told you flat shoes were good for overall powerlifting? lol Flat/Barefoot is good for Deadlifts and thats it.If they are for powerlifting then why are they not flat?
How the hell do u squat correctly with heels elevated?
lol watch a powerlifting meet video, ALL squat shoes have elevated heels. Often times when most people squat, as they come up out the "hole" they tend to push off their toes instead of using their entire foot, thus elevating your heel but causing imbalance since your heel isnt resting on anything. When your heel is already elevated (via squat shoes), you come out the hole with pressing with your entire food.
If you still want these for whatever reason... use coupon code "Friends" at checkout for $60 off.are they worth it? seen a few people at the gym with them.
