Adidas Equipment and Adistar 2 shoes heel height

[coolcolj]

LOL.
Yeah I need the shoe with the heel at least 3/4 inch greater than the forefoot it helps me keep upright when squatting. I used to use workboots but those are worn out. The equipments look nice but from the pics it looks like the forefoot is a bit thicker than I might like.

I'm sure the Equipment are very similar to the Ironworks.

alright i'm getting 1.5inches for the heel, and 0.75inches measured by the toes. Also you have to figure in an uncertainty of about .2 inches. So it's close to 3/4 inch dif.

Im sorry if Im getting off the topic,but I was wondering if anyone could recommend a place to buy a pair of olympic lifting shoes from?I guess I dont need anything fancy,and would like to stay at around $100 or less if at all possible.I also read to make sure that the area around the instep is flexible,so I guess Id need that.I would be happy enough with just a pair of tennis shoes with a taller heel,but I havent had any luck finding any

if you want the equipments you're gonna have to shell out >$100.... but i recall a pair for ~$98 that Christian Thibaudeau... i think.... recommended. The shoes were being sold off of some online site in canada, and were blue.... I'll see if it comes to me.

also the late jv askem had a way to make them out of some wal mart shoes for less than $40 as i recall.

I went ahead and got the equipments, considering them an invenstment that should basically last forever.
