I can remember reading Powerlifting USA back in the late 80's and guys were wearing hard soled work boots to squat in. Gotta love the vintage years. I'm obviously dating myself. Lift hard. Stay safe.
I think the issues you’re dealing with may be for just the top 10%. The common issue is if you do have narrow feet these aren’t for you. I have wide feet and these feel like sleeve for the foot. Biggest down point is the price for most people though.
I know said you're sticking with your tried and true, but have you tried throwing a pair of versa risers into a barefoot or othet minimalist widebox shoe?
