Reply With QuoteTight is good. You don't want your foot sliding around inside them. Most people crank the laces/straps- that's why the straps are even there.
Tight is good (so long as it isn't painful).

Weightlifting Shoe Fitment
My Powerlifts came today and I just tried them on. They feel pretty tight width wise. I may have too wide of a foot? The length is fine, there's enough room for my big toe without it being loose or cramped.
So my question is, how are these things supposed to fit? I assume they're supposed to be tight. They aren't painful to wear, just tight.
I need to decide if I should send them back for 1/2 size up, or if this is how they are supposed to feel.

My toes are also tight width wise. My pinky toe feels squished.

Man I wish these things had sound. . . kudos
They're designed to be tight left-right. When you're squatting a few plates you don't want your ankle or feet sliding around.
They're also designed to have a bit of play front-back. This is because they're for weightlifting, if you do a split then you need space for your toes to bend. It's not so important for sq/bp/dl, but that's how they're designed.
