Looking for a new shoe to train in. I currently lift in New Balance Minimus MX20 and while I love them, there are some things that I can't do in them, yoke for example. A lot of the guys I know have Adidas or Nike weight lifting shoes to train squats or overheard/log press, but they have to switch shoes to hit events.
Apparently the Reebok CrossFit Oly is supposed to be efficient for the squat and olympic lifts as a normal weightlifting shoe but be versatile enough for all the other things one would be thrown in Crossfit. I figured if that's the case I could use them on my normal training days but also throw them on for my strongman event training days. They are quite pricey at $149.00 though. Was wondering if any one had given these shoes a try before I drop the cash.
