New Rogue WL Shoes with 1/2" Heel

[AdamW]

Thought some people might be interested in these since you can no longer get the Rip shoes and everything else on the market as a 3/4" heel. Should be better than those Adidas Powerlifts with the 0.6" heel since these heels are wooden and non-compressible.

I'd like to get these to replace my VS Athletics (nothing wrong with them), but I don't think I can justify the $119 price tag. Didn't they used to be cheaper?

CAUTION: THESE WILL BUILD INSANE INTENSITY INTO YOUR LIFTS!

In that case, they might be worth the $119 afterall!

I thought I was good with my 2012 Rogue Do wins, but these just had to pop up. Now, I'm wondering if I should go ahead and get the 0.5", because I actually prefer the feel of squatting with minimal shoes. However, I still always use the Do wins when squatting because it feels more stable as a base.

Been reading lots of negative feedback on the quality of the old rogue shoes(heel falling apart, shoe tearing easily) not sure if there is any truth behind that?
Anyone know the risto olympico heel height for a size 11? I know they make different heels for different sizes but they never mention the actual heel height for any size

One day they'll sale lifting shoes at the local shoe store and the world would be a better place

I was looking at these today, too. I like them but wasn't sure about the 3/4 inch heel or the half, excuse my noobness, but which is better? Seems the smaller would be better for low bar to me.

Totally depends on the person.

But for a vague idea, how long are your legs in comparison to your torso? If they are long then a big heel helps, if you have short legs & long torso then flat shoes will be best.

(just a vague idea remember, it depends on the person and other details)

This is also just regarding back squats. For front squats and O-lifts I think pretty much everyone would appreciate a generous heel, some more than others. If you have bad ankle flexibility then a bigger heel can make up for it.

What is the difference between Do-Wins from Rogue, Pendlay, Power Firm, et al? Is Do-Win the actual manufacturer?
