Figured you guys would know the most about oly shoes. I want to get some oly shoes to do squats and cleans in and wanted to know what shoe you would recommend. I have a little wider than shoulder width stance and I want a wooden heel. Thanks

I also power lift and just started only lifting. I have the Nike romalao and the reebok oly crosstraners.
The romalaos are by far a better Shoe for only oly lifting but very stiff for all power lifting. Good for squats and dead lift.
The reebok oly sneakers are the best all around for both. The reason I day this is because the front part of the shoe is very forgiving and perfect for bench pressing as well as every other lift, I don't want to have to take my shoes off between exercises.
I now use the reebok strictly for powerlifting days and the Nike for oly days.
