MEGA New Miami Adidas Ultraboost🔥 - The Shoe and Nike/Adidas Thread.

They’ve got Monarchs in wide! I love those. I think that’s a great looking shoe. I used to wear them and would buy 1/2 size bigger and they would eventually stretch. I like the training shoes. Worn that type for years.

I FINALLY found the Metcons. There’s an option to find your size. They had no suggestion for my size so I’m hesitant to buy them.

I really appreciate your help Rell.

I haven't followed this thread but I just popped in and see a reference to Metcons. I'm not sure its intended use for you or others here. They are great to lift in, particularly for squatting. But if you use them as an everyday shoe or for casual use, it is a different feel from what you're likely used to. It can be a little odd. It has a heel which permits greater tibial bend, which in simple terms means it provides a mechanical advantage to help your back stay upright during squats.

I’ve mentioned a few times my issue with any shoe is width. I’ve got duck feet! Lol.

Be careful. At least the prior pair of Metcons I had was exceedingly narrow. Like, more than any other shoe or sneaker I've owned.

Thanks! I won’t buy anything on line unless I’ve physically tried it on. Worn NB for years. They were one of the first to come out with a wide and now even have an extra wide.
 
Saw this in a link from SOTU. Don’t know when these drop.

B/c I suffered a back injury when I was 25 (long story short, a professional body builder was supposed to be my spotter when I was deadlifting, a piece of *** walked by & bro forgot about me. Lol), Metcons have been helpful for sciatic flare ups. Honestly, they were extremely weird when I first fit them, but then they became extremely comfortable for workout purposes & walking. It’s helped my back tremendously.

Exactly, which is why I said if u can’t find them in wide, either go a half size bigger; but the best, most preferred option is to go w/ a shoe that is truly wide.

I’m normally not a willing participant in uniform threads. Can’t remember the last time I looked in on that thread. Good catch though.

I hear ya. I think at a certain point, our discussion of "all-things-apparel-related" shifted to that thread over this thread, but I understand where you're coming from. When I saw those pics yesterday, I just posted them on the "uniform" thread because it was closest to the top of the page.

Funny thing is, I've been doing so many Google searches, now the Google on my phone keeps giving me shoe articles. I see every new Nike colorway every morning, it's hilarious.

Have you seen the new Jordan "cherry" colorway? Maybe you don't care, but it's one of the first articles on my Google...

I did this to myself, I have nobody else to blame...

The Metcons felt a little "too heeled" for me so I switched back to adidas Powerlift but yeah, I prefer to squat heavy with lifting shoes.

I’m going full ****** but where did you buy these? I don’t see them on ****s or anywhere.

I love white shoes but I get infuriated when they get dirty or stepped on.

I think ****'s deactivated the link because they jumped the gun on sales. There is literally NO OTHER OUTLET that has that shoe for sale.
