Customer Reviews TYR L-1 Lifter

there were two different sizes of the shoes in this box - kept the size 9 shoes.

These shoes are incredible! I have only used them a couple of times so far but they have made a huge difference with my lifting. For fit, these shoes do run a half size smaller than expected. I love the width. I am someone who always wears zero drop shoes with a natural foot shaped toe box. I do not necessarily have wide feet but after wearing natural foot shaped shoes I find the ball of my foot more easily spills over the sole of some "common" shoes and that does not happen in these. With that said I do not have a lot of extra room to slide either, which is important at the gym. These are my first pair of lifting shoes. I do have poorer ankle mobility and have to have a heel drop in my shoes for squats and similar exercises to perform them with a better range of motion. I am female and do find that these unisex shoes work just fine with proper sizing unlike other brands of lifting shoes I have tried on.

This shoe is a winner for people who need a wide toe box so they can splay their toes while lifting for greater stability and better lifts. Most lifting shoes are heavy and snug by design, which makes sense since they are meant to keep one stable and in place while lifting heavy weights. However, the problem with most lifting shoes options on the market is that they are too narrow in the toe box. The L1’s are snug but not in the toe box where there is more room than most alternatives. I highly recommend this shoe for anyone looking to take their lifting to another level.
