These shoes are great.  I've gotten a lot of compliments at the gym on their cuteness, but since getting them, I've gone up a lot in my squatting. I've torn both of my achilles, so it's great these are higher than most other weightlifting shoes which is great fory range of motion in the squatting position. Also, i have wider feet and these are wider in the toebox so my feet don't pinch.
