9:55 Wow 😯!!! Good comparison between the two. I was wondering why my toes and especially in my left toes were sometimes uncomfortable in my Inov-8 weightlifting shoes. That makes sense when I’m walking around in those weightlifting shoes they are snug enough. Yet when I got two or three and more plates that pressure feels uncomfortable at times. This new pair might be the best option for me.
I got this pair of TYR L-1 lifter squat shoes because this video. Thanks. The wider toe box fits me perfectly. No extra room for my wider feet. Great review! Sold me on it from this video. They have great durability, extra comfort, great look & well built shoe! Squat University outdid themselves on this model! I like these better than my Inov8 model squat shoes. Thanks.
I got these for my son during Black Friday. The overlapping sales meant I got them for $61 dollars after shipping and tax. The only bummer was I didn't have much of a choice in color and most sizes were out. I picked what was left, and I was kinda relieved everyone said "buy up a size," as that is what was left for him (he usually wrestles in 12s, wears 12.5s, and I bought 13s). They are still $97 at checkout for the other shoes before Cyber Monday. Sizing is a huge issue. It is hard to find larger sizes with those deals, not that I consider a 13 large...it is a bigger normal. Heaven forbid you need a 16 or larger. Even on websites other than Tyr, such as Rogue, these larger sizes are limited and often sold out. My dad and brother have paddleboard feet, like size 16s at 6'2", and this would never work for them, but they also would need the wider toe boxes. The Romaleos at least go up to size 18, though not in every color. I am glad I got these for what I paid. I wish I bought a second pair before they sold out. Hope this helps people before the sale ends.
I bought Xero Prio shoes for weightlifting based on your reviews - thank you. So far they are good, very comfortable. Converse were hurting my toes, I ditched them after years of using them for weights. I want to try Xero 360 but based in the UK there is no availability, and no UK shipping options on the EU site. Their customer service is really poor too with very rude, unhelpful staff. I don't understand why Xero shoes don't market their entire range to UK customers. I can't get the Kelso either for example. It's a really shame cos I love the Prio. Thanks for all your reviews anyway, they are very helpful.
That's a bummer to hear about your experiences with Xero Shoes in the UK. I wonder what that team/division of the company looks like internally because I have absolutely no clue. Appreciate you chiming in and sharing your thoughts here. And thank you for checking out the content! 🤝
“‘Wider is always better.’ That’s not necessarily the case.” Hahaha reminds me of what you posted on your IG story when the Squat University version of these shoes released. Great review!
@@thatfitfriend agreed! The exercising and nutrition parts of fitness are hard and noisy enough. Last thing we need is that same noise for the apparel we wear so I appreciate you cutting through it and giving us what we need.
Im looking to get the tyr lifters but still cant decide on sizing. I currently have the nike romaleo 4s in size 11. Would you recommend size 11 on the tyrs or stick to my normal shoe size of 10.5?
Just watched your video and really enjoy your honest review. Been doing lifting for about 2yrs and I decide to buy lifting shoes. Could you please help me to decide: 1. Since it's my first lifting shoes, is TYR suitable for me? 2. My Vans' size is perfect at 42.5, does TYR has to be sized up or just the same size?
I really wanna try out these shoes. I have wide feet and haven't found any weightlifting shoes comfortable so far, so I'm hoping these will be good. I very much like barefoot shoes, so if they're anything like that, it is awesome

Great Review! Question, Have you also had a chance to try the CastIron lifter as well (The Ironlifter1 model). I'm curious on how that model also accomodates wider feet.
Oh my...don't buy them. I was going to do a review on them but they were legit so UNCOMFY I couldn't get through a full session in them. Absolutely brutal midfoot and upper feel.
@@StarCharger28 oh my bad uncomfy 😂 I was going through replies after a few margaritas last night. So uncomfy, I should film a review on them and make that known, tbh
@@thatfitfriend All good brotha! I had a feeling that's what you meant. Such a shame! They look like a really stylish lifter. If you could debunk if what they told me was true or not about their width as well (they said the shoe is 5" wide to accomodate wide footers like me), that'd be great too. I'm not believing them on that one.
I’m contemplating between this and Nike Rom since I’ve never had a weightlifting shoes before. Currently I’m using Nobull Trainer for all the workouts and it’s the most comfortable workout shoes I’ve ever had. But I’m going to integrate more of Olympic lifting in my sessions. Need advice 😢 (anw I have narrow feet)
Think you’d be fine with either, tbh! I’d go with the best price shoes for you and not overthink it too much. More than likely as you get used to them you’ll figure out more of what you like, too!
Hey for someone who only does squats, lunges and leg press, and is new to the weightlifting shoes world, do you think tyr l1 is the right way to go? I’m comparing it with anta 2 but it’s significantly pricier than tyr
My feet widths are slightly narrow to neutral and my arch isn't so high. Looking for a weight lifting / cross fit shoes that gives a drop for my squat and a wide toe box to ease my fear of ruining my toes by squeezing them with narrow shoes.(Metcon 2 did) 😂 You mention TYR L-1 might be too wide if you don't have wide feet. What would be your recommendations for someone like me? At the moment I'm temporarily using Vibram FiveFingers weightlifting model but it's barefoot so I can't use it for squats.
These would be fine, most likely if you want a weightlifting shoe, and I wouldn't overthink it. If you want a cross-training shoe for CF and squats, then I'd look into the TYR CXT-1 Trainer, they have a higher drop which could fit your squat asks well
Currently using deadlift slippers for both deadlifts and my squats but have to stand on plates for parallel depth on my squats. Highkey looking to hit ass to grass squat depth in the future. You think it's worth investing in these shoes or would there be other options I should consider?
Yeah, I do. Then you can rotate between flats/these to get best of all worlds. Better mechanics for squats while still working mobility some days in the flats! Good to have multiple tools in the toolbox
Is the sizing remain true to size, ive seen the size chart I think there is a bit of discrepancy with the UK and US sizes. Im usually 10.5US/9.5 UK, and it says on the chart 10.5US/10. Can you clarify this. Thanks
I'm confused between these and the Romaleos 4. I currently have been using the Metcon 6s and love them, so i was wondering if the Romaleos 4s are tighter than those or are similar... if similar then i dont think i have a wide toe box... So confused
@@thatfitfriend thanks for the reply. I just ordered this pair of shoes, and I still have doubts - do I need to order them half a size larger or will the length of my foot (26.1 cm) be enough? I'm sorry to ask the question again
@@ignotuz can be hit or miss depending on your foot! I like them true to size, some like them a half-size up! Will have to try them on and see which you prefer. No sorry necessary, ask whatever you have
For weightlifting shoes specifically, I've been loving the Lu Xiao Jun Lifter as it's a bit wider, too! Reebok Lifter PR 3 has an okay width to it, too Sold out on Rogue Fitness, Box Basics, and TYR?!
If you're bringing them for WODs where you're squatting and doing Oly lifts, then you should be fine. This won't be a model you'll wear for full workouts in that context. If you need something lighter, I'd go with the Inov-8 Fastlift Power G 380!
So I’ve tried the TYR L1 but honestly had to size up because of my monster wide, super flat big feet I was thinking of getting the Rom 2 second hand, sized up but I really can’t tell how narrow they ar on the inside, they seem wider in the mid foot to me in this video. Do you really feel as though the TYR is as wide as we can get mid foot in oly shoes? I’m desperate and you’re one of the few online that has both rom 2 and Tyr
Yeah, more and more, I'm suggesting folks to size up a half-size in the TYR model. The midfoots are similarish. Want to hit me on IG and I'll send you a video of different models regarding their midfoot widths?
As always good video. My reebok legacy 2 need to be replaced, the upper eye lid ripped through. Since I don't need a wide shoe and I'm staying with the reeboks Plus reeboks will be 50% off and free shipping for black friday.
Not a bad game plan, sir! Yeah, I've been saying the same thing to folks who message me about these. They're solid, but if you don't necessarily need their width, then one's normal lifters will suffice/work just as well!
If you want more width, then I'd keep it simple and go with these. That being said, if you really like your Rom 4s and they work well for you, then I'm big on if it ain't broke don't fix it!
2:15 you say these shoes aren’t built for people with narrow feet. I just got mine and they certainly aren’t designed for people with wide feet at all. I feel like I am squeezing my feet into my old rock climbing shoes that are three sizes too tight. These are way too narrow for shoes that claim to have a wide anything.
Hear ya. Wide in the context of weightlifting shoes. I know these still feel snug for folks with exceptionally wide feet, but in the world of weightlifting shoes these are (sadly) the widest model atm, and to your point, the toe box still isn't the best regarding its fit and upper volume. My point is that if you're a lifter that loves models like the Nike Rom 4/Adipower and their width, then you may not resonate with this shoe. Wide is relative to the shoes in discussion for this example!
@@thatfitfriend I can understand that. Every other pair I’ve worn was an absolute no go and they made it difficult to lift because I was so unstable. I used the squat university trick to razor blade my last pair to make them fit a little better.
For my neutral feet I usually use shoes 8.5 us, for example project rock 4, also I tried 8.5 for tomatoes and they feel little tight. What you think about this the lifter , what size should I get? My feet is 26.5 cm and official website tells me that 26.5 is 9.5 us, but Nike or under armour 26.5 cm is always 8.5 us. Little bit confused with that
ive been lifting in my chuck taylors(wide) for some time. these tyr shoes with the wide toe box fit the bill for me. i will tyr saying the fit true to size is not true. i dont go by american shoe sizes, i go by cm size. i am size 29.5cm in all my shoes. however, in american shoe sizes, my size varies. converse i am size 11. new balance and brooks i am size 11.5. asics i am size 12. anyway cant wait to try out these tyr shoes on monday. i can already feel the difference with weightlifting shoes. great video!
Totally fair. If you want, you can hit me on IG and I’ll send you a video of this model next to a barefoot shoe so you can get better context without investing!
@@thatfitfriend about a thumb width from the tip of the shoe. I went ahead and ordered a 9 based on comparisons from your videos and size charts from TYR & Vivo. Hope they fit!
I like the Rom 2s better and always felt like those fit me like a glove, but I haven't worn them in so long that it's tough to give you specific fit comparisons regarding midfoot/toe box etc. as my feet have likely changed a bit over the last few years and I gave my ole' Roms away a few years ago (one of those times where I gave ish away in a move and now I regret it, LOL).
I rate my TYR L-1 above the Romaleos 2, 4 and Legacy Lifter 2. the feedback through the sole is almost like squatting in barefoot. Sits flat, no heel slip unlike the Romaleos shoes, and off course toe splay room. Just so comfortable.
Thanks Jake that's a really thorough review 👍. Given me some food for thought as I was gonna order a pair, maybe not now - I hate buying online anyways.

How do these compare size wise to Vivo's? I wear an 8 in Vivo's and am unsure whether to get an 8.5 or 9 in these. Thank you!
How much room do you have at the end of your toe box in the Vivo?
@@thatfitfriend about a thumb width from the tip of the shoe. I went ahead and ordered a 9 based on comparisons from your videos and size charts from TYR & Vivo. Hope they fit!
@@J66Mac heck yeah! Sorry for the delay, keep me posted on their fit!
@@thatfitfriend no worries my friend, appreciate the help! I will keep you posted for sure.
@@J66Machow was the fit??
Whats wider , this or the inov8?
This
if im a 9.5 in nike shoes what should i get im really overthinking
If you typically feel like it's snug at the end of your Nike's toe box, go 10. If not, TTS should be safe!
If I can get them for $139.99 are they worth getting? have always lifted in Legacy 1's
Yeah, that’s solid
@@thatfitfriend appreciate you brother, pulling the trigger now and also subscribed to the channel!
How would you compare it to the ROM 2?
I like the Rom 2s better and always felt like those fit me like a glove, but I haven't worn them in so long that it's tough to give you specific fit comparisons regarding midfoot/toe box etc. as my feet have likely changed a bit over the last few years and I gave my ole' Roms away a few years ago (one of those times where I gave ish away in a move and now I regret it, LOL).
@@thatfitfriend appreciate the response Jake ! I still have my ROM 2s but they’re reaching the end of their lifespan 😭😭😭 10yrs and counting
@@91CRSTP pouring some out for the homie
I rate my TYR L-1 above the Romaleos 2, 4 and Legacy Lifter 2. the feedback through the sole is almost like squatting in barefoot. Sits flat, no heel slip unlike the Romaleos shoes, and off course toe splay room. Just so comfortable.
@@CoolColJ love hearing that. Thank you for sharing, amigo!
Thanks Jake that's a really thorough review 👍. Given me some food for thought as I was gonna order a pair, maybe not now - I hate buying online anyways.
Welcome, thanks for checking it out! Shout if you have additional questions.
These look so good! But it’s so hard for me to part ways with my White Adipower 1s!
Rock em’ til their dead, honestly! No need to fix what ain’t broken 💪
@@thatfitfriend Very true!
To follow up on this post. Thanks for the discount code!
Thanks
I have some of worse flat wide feet every. I was contemplating these shoes
Do you wear weightlifting shoes currently?
Finally a training shoe with a wide toe box. Every other shoes that ppl say are good for flat feet are all trash n too tight
Keep in mind this is a weightlifting shoe! Different than a training shoe
It no fit!!! Hahaha
Idk what came over me 😂
Hang on, is this the same swim wear and gear brand?! Hahah I remember getting this brand quite a lot back in the day together with Arena.
Yep! It’s odd, right? 😂 all my triathlon friends are like wtf
