My conscience got the better of me, mostly. While I still purchased weightlifting shoes (did I just say that?), I went for the pretty blue ones that were $50 cheaper. At least they are still a little different and fun. I was really on the fence on whether they were actually necessary. I watched a really cool video that showed the difference in landing on running shoes vs. lifting shoes. Really interesting the support difference. So, I better be a lifting queen after these come. 
Here are the two videos I mentioned. Check out the movement in the feet and ankles. Really a big difference.

Weightlifting shoes will improve your performance more than any amount of chalk, foam rolling, or “special” cd mixes with way too much techno…
you made a good choice!
I wasn’t expecting these. I was expecting some boring old solid color shoe after talking to you today. These are cool looking too. Very interested to hear how these affect your lifts.
Just keep listening, CJ. It will grow on you. Thanks for the vote of confidence on the shoes.
Jenn…me…boring? Never!
