Anytime.
Look im not in to fashion at all.
I dont wear anything for fashion or to make a statement and i dont wear designer clothes to look cool. I dont run out and buy some thing because its "in" or "popular". So i feel a lil stupid about asking questions like this cuz it feels like its some thing i already should know but...you can only squat in these shoes? There not made for general "gym duty"?

You can leg press in them. You can if you choose to do calf raises in them.
Being that you're big on from squats and you front squat more than many back squat. These shoes will place a little more emphasis on your quads. So you should see more quad development. If you choose a a shoe with a higher heel than it will place more demand on your quads. You can use them for over head presses. Any Oly movement.
Some Powerlifters use them so that get their heel down to the ground with a high arch setup and legs back. You won't be stuck just squatting in them.
Thanks man. Im gonna have to go see em in person. Get my hands on em and see if i wanna go that route or not
Which means im gonna have to go to the mall...GODDAMMIT
They are hard to find at the mall. I think @theprodgicalson said he got a pair at the outlet.
You can order them on Eastbay, rogue. Eastbay gives 20% military discount. If you don't like them send them back.
If it isnt for sale in my local yuppie farm it just doesnt exist. Outlets galore.
I fucking hate dodging ppl. Malls suck. The people in them suck worse. Anxiety central
I know the feeling. I avoid malls, traffic as much as I can and crowds. Hard to do living right outside of a major city.

At your size dodging people at the mall must present quite a challenge. Big fucker
You could do almost everything in these. Deadlifts would be the only thing that you probably wouldn't do bc of the heel height. It would make the pull longer. You don't do those anyway right? Every other lift should be no problem.
You wouldn't wanna running on the treadmill with em either. The bike would be okay though.
I'll have more feedback for you later. Free returns at Adidas also, but you do have to pay shipping.
I should have the ones you just got tomorrow. I also tried on a pair of the adidas Adipowers at the gym and they felt better than the Romaleos. So I got those in today.
With my hips being tight right now. I believe do to a possible hip flexor strain. I might have to get back into heels higher than .5.
But I got both adidas all black.

Hmmm i was considering them till no deadlifting.
You can use them to do snatch grip deads or as a form of a deficit pull.
Those all black Adipowers look sweet. All I wear is black.
I was using Inov-8 Bare for squats. A little heel made a difference. My hip clicks and hurts most of the time, so I hear ya.
I guess it depends on what you're used to. If you pull in shoes probably be okay, just makes it a little longer of a pull.
Both my fucking hips click. I have some arthritis in my hips as well.
Physical therapist said I might near surgery much further down the line the other day. But also said if I continue to stretch and work with her that there is a possiblity I won't need it.
I was all ready to go into surgery now if it was just to clean up some things. Short term recovery. Lol
Damn! What does a clicking hip mean? I'm actually a little freaked out about it. My mom had both hips replaced pretty young....early 50's maybe I think.

Cool! No deadlifting, no running. ✔
Guess im good there

Warm them up better before squats. There are some hip swings i always do. Get that blood flowing. Hip thrusts work well too. The unweighted variety
