These are solid weightlifting shoes. I'm using them solely for olympic weightlifting, but these would be excellent shoes for powerlifting or strongman. I was initially attracted to the wood heel and clearance price but have been pleasantly surprised by the quality and feel of the shoe.
They fit much more snug in the toes than shoes that I am used to (Reebok Legacy Lifter and Adidas Leistung) but hopefully they will break in to be more comfortable. It isn't too bad for snatch and clean, but my front foot's toes get smashed pretty good on split jerks. I do have rather large, wide feet though so perhaps a different foot shape wouldn't be affected. For reference, I wear a 13 in Legacy Lifter and 13.5 in Leistung, and the 13.5 in this shoe fits a little snug in the toes and midfoot.
The build quality seems to be superb, and I think these shoes will last a long time. The only thing I'm concerned about is the rubber outsole coming unglued from the wood heel but if this does happen, it's nothing some shoe goo won't fix.
The heel height feels much less than the 1" that is advertised, I think it is much closer to a standard .75" like most WL shoes. Definitely not as high as the 1" heel on my Adidas Leistungs. The wood feels very responsive and I feel that I am not leaking any force due to cushioning or the heel being smooshed. Better feel than a TPU heel for sure.
I still can't decide how I feel about this shoe's appearance. They look pretty much like bowling shoes, which is a bit of a turn off, but they also have a sort of old-school vibe that makes me find them more fashionable. They've grown on me, but they could definitely be a better looking shoe.
Overall I like these shoes a lot. 4/5 because of the uncomfortable fit and kind of ugly but the performance is definitely there. If you like the thought of a wood heel and don't have excessively wide feet like me, I think you'll enjoy these shoes.

Solid shoes, great look. I definitely feel like I lift the same weights easier with these than other shoes I’ve tried. Running shoes, basketball shoes, dress shoes, you name it.

Excellent shoe for the right price. Extremely hard to find a wooden heel, and certainly not for the price.

I bought these lifters when I first started because of price, but I have since fell in love. The shoes have held up very well, without any issues at all.

These are solid olympic shoes. The 1-inch heel as opposed to a standard 0.75-inch heel is quite nice. The fact that it's a wooden heel gives it a cool "retro" feel. The soles are super grippy so you definitely don't have to worry about your foot shifting. If I had a minor complaint, it would be that the bottom rubber just barely comes undone from the wooden heel. It's very minor and if need be, it could be easily super-glued. I only paid $50 for these on a sale, so very small things such as that are of no concern. If you are someone who wants an oly. shoe with a 1-inch heel without paying $200 for a pair of Adidas Leistung or Position P3's, I would recommend these for sure. Yes, you could get a pair of Do-Wins for a cheap price, but you won't be able to have that 1-inch heel like in a pair of these.

Great shoes; wish they had different color options

These shoes combine a good lifting platform with that old school look! Definitely a conversation piece in the gym! I love them and recommend them to all the old schoolers!

Everything about these lifters screams old school. Hip crease below the top of the patella, no problem.

I like the solid, stable support the shoes give in the squat and deadlift.

Love these shoes. They are made of leather, so that u can feel it wrapping around your feet. The wooden heel provides heel raise and stability! Definitely recommend these amazing shoes. They also look good!
Travis Papa Bear Rogers
Love these, great price and have a heavier more sturdy feel than the nikes. I like the look of the old school wooden heel and all leather shoe. Built to last, used in training and powerlifting competition.

After u get past the WHAT ARE THOSE factor, they are an amazing shoe. They fit great, they fit accurately. I wear a 14 and they are perfect. I wore them at my last meet and easily squared 585lb. The price point is awesome . If ur on the fence, I would get them.
