Ordered mine directly from Adidas' Store and got them in today.
First thing I did with them was a 10! Power Snatch and Burpee WOD.
My feet were aching quite a bit getting them broken in, but they definitely made lifting a whole lot easier (as compared to my Inov-8's).
These are my first pair of weightlifting shoes and I'm extremely pleased with them. Looking forward to increasing my PR's and will post some feedback once I do more testing.
I honestly don't see how people see them as orange, they look bright red to me. Size matched perfectly with my inov-8's.
Would post a picture, but apparently I need 50 post :/

i'm not an olympic lifter, i just do power lifting and bodybuilding so i had some questions about these shoes. do u just wear them to the gym for a whole workout or do u need to like bring them into the gym and only use them for power lifting? i'm guessing u shouldnt wear these shoes outside and while u drive or does it matter? (im talking about walking from my house>car>gym>car>house for a workout)
i'm using chucks right now and want a better shoe for the power lifting and these look awesome.
thx for the help
read some more stuff, and i'm guessing u only use them for squats and maybe hack squats? u want a flat shoe for deadlifts, and for bench press i dont think it matters? (let me know if this is wrong or right)Last edited by onegai5465; 02-21-2012 at 11:28 AM.

you can walk to the gym from your car in them, and you could leave them on for your whole workout, but they are not that comfortable, you will get used to them though. I use them for everything gym training related except for deadlifts. My gym training only consists of Push Presses, Axle clean and jerks, log clean and jerks, front squats, back squats, deadlifts and some barbell rows though.

Well, generally, mine go in my workout bag and I don't wear them to and from the car, house or while driving. Having said that, I have worn them while driving (stick at that), so you can do it. As has been said, they are not that comfortable for driving or walking around, but they will work, especially when broken in. Up to you really, just expect that they may wear out a bit sooner if you're doing all that in them besides just lifting.
However, when I put them on, they are on during my entire workout. I'm an Olympic lifter, so I need to be pretty comfortable in them!!Training log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=168969133

I am looking for a slightly lower heel height on my shoe as I think my current height of 1" is a tiny bit much for the power lifts (I'm not a weightlifter) and would be disappointed if I was to shell out a lot of money for a new pair of shoes that are essentially the same height as what I have currently got.
Have you measured them?
The Power Lift trainers are 0.6 inches but they're not proper weightlifting shoes. The Power Perfect 2s are almost definitely one inch, the exact same as the Ironwork 3s that they replaced.My log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=120990011
There are 10 types of people: those that understand binary, and those that do not.

No, he's not!! I can pretty much guarantee that if he's measuring it, he's not taking the forefoot height into account.
Shaun_W - if you're that hard up to know, than email or call someone who sells the shoes, or the manufacturer for that matter. For god's sake it's NOT that important. Most shoes you can take to a cobbler and get the heel worked down on your existing shoes!!Training log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=168969133
