Oly lifting shoes

I'm started to venture into clean, jerks and snatches etc besides the regular squats and deadlifting to really ramp up my athleticism and sports.

Looking to invest in a good pair of oly shoes to help out with hip and ankle mobility (lack thereof for ankle) to get deep A2G and help keep torso more upright in the overhead squat.

Was looking at Reebok crossfit Invalid Link Removed or Adidas powerlite (I think they are called that).

Opinions please.
 
I love my Adidas Adipowers (but they are pretty expensive). Know some people who really like their Adidas Powerlifts and they are more affordable.
 
I say no to crossfit shoes. They still have a soft heel I have VS Athletics ($80) with an awesome heel and double straps. Addidas Adipower and Power Perfect II's are good. I'll be buying the Power Perfects soon. The Powerlift ones you guys mentioned are good unless youre a 700lb squatter. Wei Rui makes a good Olympic shoe as well for 60-80$

Elite FTS sells the addidas and they always have sales. VS sells the ones I have. You can find sites that sell Olympic gear and they'll have a big shoe selection.
 
Was looking at fastlift by innov8 which are pretty good.
 
I've got the powerlifts, wore them like 3 times I think. I prefer the barefoot feel with minimalist shoes, personally...

Listen, folks, these are the options. Don't look elsewhere.

Although I will put a word in for my shoes, Pendlay Do-wins. Only thing is that the heel is pretty high on those compared to other olympic shoes, so if you want a smaller heel go for a different option listed above.
