Re: INOV8 lifting shoe

Re: oly vs nano
This was discussed to some degree on this review of the nano 2 (http://wlshoes.com/review/reebok-crossfit-nano-2/) - whether the oly and the nano overlap too much in terms of function. I think you...

Re: Why are weightlifting shoes so ugly?
Well, Oly shoes have traditionally been targeted to the very narrow market of Olympic lifters and a few power lifters. Only recently have they started to go mainstream. How many hardcore lifters have...

Re: Rogue Do-Win Problem
They better do some serious redesigning if they intend on competing with Reebok, Adidas and Nike. Heck, maxbarbell just dropped a wooden heel shoe for less than $100. Granted it is a little ugly, it...

Re: Reebok Frustrations
I have a few complaints and concerns with the Reebok/Crossfit marriage myself, but damn that Oly shoe is something the market has been needing for awhile.

Re: Reebok Oly's/Crossfit vs Nike Romaleos
I've worn pretty much every WL shoe that has come out in the last 2 years (its a nice perk) and I can say that unless you are a competitive oly lifter, get the Reeboks - you won't be disappointed and...

Re: help!! need new shoes..

Re: Adidas adiPower Oly Shoes
I imagine this will be the only color available just like was the case with the power perfect 2s - at least these are all red with white accents, I'm not a fan of all white shoes.

Re: shoes for Cross Fit?
I just got the Reebok Oly shoes and all I can say is wow. They are expensive, but you can do just about anything anything except sprint.
