    Default Power Cleans in Rogue Do-Wins

    I just got a pair of Rogue Do-Wins as my fist ever pair of weightlifting shoes, they are the ones shown at the below url:

    http://www.roguefitness.com/rogue-we...s-1-2-heel.php

    The disclaimer on the website states:

    "Doing movements such as box jumps, sprints, jump roping, and anything else that will cause extreme flex to the sole will compromise the integrity of the shoes."

    When I do power cleans I definitely jump and this causes flexion in the soles. Does anyone else do power cleans with a jump in these things? If so, how long have you been doing it and has it caused any problems? Thanks.

    "weightlifting only because of the soles rigid design"

    Most people split jerk, so there has to be some flexion in the forefoot. I'm sure it's just a disclaimer for Crossfitters who want to abuse them through weird workouts. Don't worry about it.

    Good, I was hoping that was a disclaimer geared toward cross fitters.

    Yup they are MADE for doing cleans.

    Crossfitters do weird shit like push a prowler and jump rope whilst wearing them.
