I bought the Rom 4’s first and returned them. They’re definitely narrow like others say, and had a lot of heel slippage. I preferred the TYR’s and for me they’re much better. The wide toe box is great. Makes you feel like you can use your whole entire foot effectively to get the most stability and power. So far, I’ve snatched and front squatted in these and am very satisfied. If you’re on the fence about ordering these, just buy them. You’ll be satisfied.

This is my first pair of lifting shoes. Im 6'2 235 lbs with a size 13 foot, that is wide. I also have trouble with swelling in my right foot due to trauma from a motorcycle accident. I was wearing Xeros and using squat blocks to simulate squat shoe angle. Do Win, albeit a great shoe, was still too narrow. Then Squat Univ and TYR came out with these. They are fantastic for wide feet. Just get them

They were easy to break in and size was accurate. A bit of a tight squeeze but once you get them on they feel great. Good designs too

Definitely order half size up. The shoe is beautiful and fits great. The toe box is perfect and so comfortable. I’m just used to wearing a stiffer lifting shoe, and this was too flexible in the forefoot to give me the help I need for overhead lifts.

They best lifting shoes in n the market. Other companies need to get onboard with the wide base toe box

Wide toe box, super sturdy. Easier to walk and move in than other lifter shoes.

It was time to buy a new pair of bench/squatting shoes so I did some research and discovered a few blogs that recommended the TYL-1 Lifter. This is the first time I've worn a shoe that has a large toe-box and what a difference that makes! My previous shoes had a slight heel so the TYL-1 are very similar to what I had before. But the toe box is amazing and so worth the money. I know this pair of shoes will last -- I bought a different brand for deadlifting -- so I can wear the proper shoes for the specific lift I'm doing that day. A+++!

They feel light and easier to walk around with than most lifters. I've worn them for WODs requiring push ups and man makers and they feel like regular sneakers when it comes to toe flexibility. Very stable when it comes to all the lifts. Nice grip too. Appreciate to be able to wear toe spacers in them. If the custom fees and shipping to canada didn't double the price of the shoe I would have probably exchanged them for half a size up. On the down side the choice of materials feels a bit cheap and they have a very 'plasticy' touch. And you're left wondering what is making them so expensive when you can get leather lifters for the same price. Will see how they age... TYR being a rather recent brand I hope they refine their designs and materials choices over time.
