Well they should be with the amount of heavy stuff you pull from the ground and carry aorund
I need a pair of good solid shoes for squatting too, I had a good pair of adidas weight training shoes but they're worn out now. No one around here sells weight training shoes!
They are nice...but don't think that I'll be using them for squats or deads anytime soon. They roll out on squats and I can't sit back when I am doing deads near enough...
Really? I haven't had a problem with mine rolling out on squats. I've found that they work great. I would have thought that with yours having 3 lateral straps that they would work better than mine. I understand about the deads, though.
the first one is not quite what I'm after. The ones I had were more like sports shoes, but made for weight training, with very heavy duty heel and sole construction and support. No wooden heal though. Not sure if I'd want to jump aorund in a shoe with a wooden heel in the gym - anyone tried that?
Plus I prefer black shoes
What are the otomix shoes like? Solid heel and soles?
i dont like the look of them....as you know i will be OL from now. and the adidas ones look like the buisness for C&J/snatch on a platform.
I might just stick with my nikes till i can afford them.
ps i have seen people walking around my work wearing the otomix shoes..............please wear them in the gym and only the gym
there was a shop in newtown....now closed that sold those otomix shoes and shoes like them.
and there was a shop that sold gym equipt (like hammer strength and bear) i think it was in straithfield/ashfield or somewhere like that (you pass it on your way out of sydney...towards canberra).
just look up gym equiptment and fitness/ supplys in the yellow pages. also health food stores...look for the body building shops and call them and ask if they sell shoes) if we have them in canberra...you will have them in sydney for sure
