I was checking another board on the topic of shoes Eric.
Apparently the VS athletics have a very high heel. Good for O lifts, Front squats, OH squats. Not so good for back squats if you want to sit back. and the heel tapers making them abit unstable if walking the weights out. The adidas heel is not as steep and there apparently much better for back squats, etc. The only catch is there a tight fit and not good if you have a wide foot. Here is the link to the discussion.
