In today's video I share some feedback on the Tyr L-1 Lifter that gained a lot of popularity as being a wide toe box weightlifting shoe and marketed by Squat University. Are these good enough to dethrone my previous favorite Nike and Adidas?

Glad to hear you're not typically a strap on guy! 🤣I was intrigued by those shoes, but they were released around the time I started going barefoot. Nice review!

@BasementBrandon 10 месяцев назад

Always nice to not spend money 😅

@bmstylee 10 месяцев назад

Nike Romealos 2 for the win. I've had those for almost 7 years and they keep going strong. I'd grab a pair of these if not for the plastic eyelets.

@BasementBrandon 10 месяцев назад

I liked my Rom2s as well, but after wearing wider toe box shoes for so long, I can't go back to the tight toe box on them.

@ClarksvilleBarbellClub 10 месяцев назад

Another great video, B. I have been considering these for a while now. Romaleo 2s are still my fav. I recently got some original Adipowers, but theybare a half size too small.

@BasementBrandon 10 месяцев назад

No you got those other new fancy rom hybrids from Cast Iron

@ClarksvilleBarbellClub 10 месяцев назад

The Cast Iron shoes are a half size too big, but I am digging them. I am a sucker for cheap. ;-) @@BasementBrandon

@reggie7716 10 месяцев назад

That shoe looks awesome! I can squat in either flats or heels, but weirdly enough I actually need heels for my competition bench press. I find I can get way better and more consistent leg drive in the bench press if I have heels, may my lower legs are just to short and need the added height. Great video, looks like I'm going to get these or the adipower 3s next.

@BasementBrandon 10 месяцев назад

Makes complete sense, I should have called that out.

@josephbloxham3992 10 месяцев назад

I like the velcro because it means I can skip tying the shoes. If it's good enough for my toddlers, it's good enough for me.

@BasementBrandon 10 месяцев назад

I feel that

@babygiantbarbell1014 10 месяцев назад

Almost got these due to wide feet. Got some good ole Do-Wins as I was skeptical about dropping serious money on oly shoes, and they do the job. These look awesome though. Great review Man

@BasementBrandon 10 месяцев назад

I have not used but have heard the Do-wins are better about width than some of the other brands.

@thomastkach7467 10 месяцев назад

I have some Sabos that I like to squat in after trying flats for a bit. They're fine, but a bit cramped for my wide flippers. If they start wearing out, I'll probably look into some of these.

@BasementBrandon 10 месяцев назад

Right on!

They 👀

@ront2457 10 месяцев назад

Yes on heels for me. I love my Adidas AdiPowers...I don't have a wide foot but my second toe is longer than my big toe and that can cause issues. The adipowers fit nice for me. But if they wear out someday I might try a pair of the tyr

@BasementBrandon 10 месяцев назад

Adipowers are hard to beat!

@StephColbertsonStrength 10 месяцев назад

Definitely intriguing but I’m in the same boat - I only use heeled shoes for specific movements now. So I’ll just stick with my Adipowers until I decide heels are better again lol

@BasementBrandon 10 месяцев назад

Right on!

@TDace25 10 месяцев назад

Ended up scooping a pair and I like them after using them for a month but back to using the GOAT Rom 2s.

@BasementBrandon 10 месяцев назад

Haha right on!

@keldsports8337 10 месяцев назад

Asics Tow 727 are the original wide toe box lifting shoe. I love mine but expensive and a pain to buy, with standard sizes only up to 10. That’s why I still haven’t gotten new ones after ten years of use

@BasementBrandon 10 месяцев назад

Right on!

@mikeb9396 10 месяцев назад

I have a pair of Adidas shoes that fit like a high end hockey skate, which is fine because I'm used to that kind of fit, but it would be good to have some room for these long toes of mine to stretch out a little bit.

@BasementBrandon 10 месяцев назад

I hear ya!

@scooobyj8714 10 месяцев назад

Those look like awesome lifting shoes. I have the inov8 lifters and they are a bit tight in the tow box. Strap on… haha

@BasementBrandon 10 месяцев назад

They're pretty solid!

@ks24pl97 10 месяцев назад

Do these have an insole with arch support? Like this a lot about my Reebok Legacy Lifter 2. Cheers

@BasementBrandon 10 месяцев назад

They do have insoles, but not a lot of arch support

@gaberoo9099 10 месяцев назад

Same here (I either squat barefoot or with compression socks), but was wondering about flat soled shoes to be used when working out while traveling (when the need to squat at gyms might make squatting with flat soled shoes preferable--for sanitary reasons?--to squatting barefoot or with socks). Any ideas?

@BasementBrandon 10 месяцев назад

I've always liked training with these minimal style shoes when traveling for 2 main reasons. 1st, they're lighter and take up less space than oly shoes. 2nd, I can wear them to walk to the gym and don't have to bring another pair of "casual" shoes in most cases.

@gaberoo9099 10 месяцев назад

@@BasementBrandon Thx. I don't have a pair of those (I'm guessing any zero lift shoe like Xero, Altra?, Vivo or even tai-chi shoes would fit the bill), but I do have "drivers" by Rothy's (moccasins with no heal and nubbed rubber soles...works in a pinch, but looks really goofy). I'll probably buy the cheapest zero lift athletic shoe to use for both squatting outside of home as well as walking. Xero supposedly has a 5000 mile sole warranty (hard to believe). As an added benefit, I'll get to see if zero-drop/lift is better for my body than super-cushioned walkers (pricey french brand...Hoka or Brooks).

@deadlift0425 9 месяцев назад

Wonder how the new Antas would compare to these? I have rom 2s and the reebok cf74 lifter(which the tyr seems to br based off of)!

@BasementBrandon 9 месяцев назад

I've heard a lot of people like the Antas, but don't think I'll be buying any more heeled shoes!

@deadlift0425 9 месяцев назад

@@BasementBrandon I understand as I can squat in barefoot/flats or heeled shoes! Just wanted to know how their toebox compares!

@carps_gym 10 месяцев назад

So what do you compete your squats in ?

@BasementBrandon 10 месяцев назад

Last few meets have been Tolos, Notorious Lifts, Reebok crossfit lite TRs (Power shoe)

@Supermaneuverable_Sukhoi_Su-35 10 месяцев назад

Unrelated to the video, im 14 and im trying to convince my parents to buy me a home gym. What power rack should i buy? I live in europe so my nr 1 pick, the rep pr-5000 v2, unfortunately doesnt ship to where i live. What rack would you recommend? Ideally under 1500 dollars with attachments and shipping included.

@BasementBrandon 10 месяцев назад

TBH if you're just starting out you just really need a squat rack, bench, bar, and some plates. I wouldn't aim to break the bank up front.

@Supermaneuverable_Sukhoi_Su-35 10 месяцев назад

@@BasementBrandon alright, thank you. Big fan of your content btw

@arymniak1 5 месяцев назад

Still felt tight to me compared to other wide toe box shoes I've worn. I have 12's would have ordered 12.5's. For deadlifting I use NoBull trainers.

@BasementBrandon 5 месяцев назад

I do agree they're not as wide as barefoot shoes are. My NoBulls were super narrow however.

@authentichealthcoach4142 10 месяцев назад

The Do -Win weightlifting shoes were my absolute favorites- wore them out and then went to the Romaleos. Debating going with the TYR or going back to the ole faves

@BasementBrandon 10 месяцев назад

I have heard the Do Wins are on the wider size comparatively. If you have wider feet though, might make sense to go for the ones specifically made wider. If not, stick with what you know!

@richards6431 10 месяцев назад

I have been lifting barefoot recently. It has been great. But these shoes look promising for those in the market.

@BasementBrandon 10 месяцев назад

Team flats here!

@markhalstead2386 10 месяцев назад

@evanspiewakowski568 10 месяцев назад

Do they run small? I heard they run a half size down and so I ordered a 10 even though im a 9½😬

@sotasaito6445 8 месяцев назад

Do humans really need weightlifting shoes? Isn't it most natural for us to be barefoot, and isn't it easier to demonstrate our strength when we are natural? There is an idea I feel the most ground contact and stability when squatting barefoot.

@BasementBrandon 8 месяцев назад

Well I mean we're talking about lifting metal shafts and discs. Is that natural?
