Are these actually worth buying over Converse or some other cheap lifting shoe, or are they just a meme?

Dude, literally just thrift some shoes.
no
I have some metcon 3s I use for lifting to this day
its either a real TPU heel as in oly lifting or merchandise
Those shoes are sick.
Look good feel good
Feel good train good
Get those shoes , big dawg
Depends how they fit
>lifting in shoes
unless youre gonna be an epic rope climbing crossshitter then no. incidentally i just picked up some new shoes because my seavees finally crapped out. vans exo range. pretty decent feeling. get em on sale for like 60 bucks.
sounds like a long way to say yes
if they're actually better why can't you afford to drop the extra $60? get a job moron it's absolutely worth buying the best shoes you can
Just buy the savaleos. They're just as good as the romaleos and cost half as much.
if youre not doing oly lifts or squats, weightlifting shoes are so fucking uncomfortable to walk around in
If you're not doing squats, why aren't you doing squats?
Why are you walking around in weightlifting shoes. They aren't designed for walking in. They're designed for a stable base. The opposite of walking.
Metcon is meh for everything, compresses when lifting heavy and not comfortable enough for general use. Best gym shoes for general use is "free metcon".
Bought these two weeks ago and they're pretty good for lifting, walking in them is very clunky though because the second half of the shoe doesn't flex at all and you're thunking around the gym. The heel doesn't compress at all and it's a bit lifted.
Great shoe for mid and for foot runners who are also wanting to get some great depth in squatting, I have long femurs so it helps me get ATG, only con is a too small and too narrow toe box
for squat type movements get actual weightlifting shoes instead of metcons. for everything else just wear flat shoes like converse. the metcons are an awkward in between that don't suit either scenario. worst of both worlds
I love the metcons, good shoes, i got pic related
Perfect middle ground between shit like romaleos and regular converse or something
>Nike
They are an evil wokecorp and have such shitty fucking QC for their shoes. Back in the 00’s, I had to buy the same pair of brand new shoes— which I admittedly loved— three fucking times because the shoe kept destroying itself. I never put them through any kind of serious abuse. The child slaves couldn’t get it right. My other Nikes, which I bought from a third party seller just before all of the woke shit started, have lasted a long time. That said, they failed in a non-serious way ages ago. Thus, it has been made evident to me through experience that Nikes are prone to failure under even the least strenuous of conditions… probably because they were designed with built-in obsolescence in mind. They are a fast fashion brand with premium sportswear prices.
TL;DR - No, do not buy them. In the interest of not being called a brand shill, I am not going to recommend another brand, but Nikes are shit and the company hates you.
shill me another brand
Their return policy is really good and it even applies to custom-made shoes. Give the kids another chance, I say.

I have 6E wide feet and cant find any decent shoes, this makes me angry.
unironically
only sport I could ever was swimming cause u dont need shoes
Apparently Tyr has some weightlifting shoes for wide feet, if you want flats look for some "barefoot" shoes they're generally wide as shit.
yeah, issue is that those are typically the equivalent to wide or extra wide. which is way too small. hate this curse.
Have you tried Rebok Nanos? They're wider than Nikes. Oterwise then get the barefoot shoes like vivobarefoot they're duck flippers
people say theyre snug for 2E so ill have to call them because thats way too narrow
Just buy some Balmains, poorfag
If you want some lifting shoes buy deadlift slippers
It's not good to use shoes with heels as a crutch because you lack mobility
>over Converse or some other cheap lifting shoe
Crossfit shoes like metcons or nanos will offer More ankle support and slight heel lifts compared to converse.
I'm assuming you don't do CrossFit, or else you'd already have a pair. If you want heels for squatz, might as well spend a little extra for real weightlifting shoes.
remember nike hates white peopleand wants to see you replaced by a brown subservient class of people
You never need fancy gear no matter the field. Don't fall for marketing, only women fall for shit like that.
My gym has the complete floor covered with mats, so naturally I only train without shoes and with white socks.
>white socks
Hello ick department?
I am German, I don't understand what you mean.
I lift in metcon Jordans and they are pretty cosy.
If you’re not a fuarkin’ beast, shoes don’t really matter, and if you were you’d know what you like by now.
