Bump! Can any of our powerlifters answer this?

IMAP, I suspect the answer is that weightlifting shoes are supposed to be a bit uncomfortable - the idea is they prevent any movement to give you a more stable base. But obviously if it's so tight that the pain lowers your strength, then there's something wrong.

Hopefully we'll get a better qualified opinion than mine though. :)

BLUF - if you can't wear them, sell them.  

You shouldn't be getting pain "in the feet" with them - sore quads, hams, whatever, but not "in the feet". 

I bought some Adidas lifting shoes with a heel, and there's minor discomfort but not enough to stop me using them.  In your case, if they're unbearably tight across the in-step (widest part of the foot, base of the laces, a good shoe repair shop might be able to stretch them.  

FWIW it sounds like feet are too wide... a lot of Kiwis have wider feet than e.g. North Americans..... and some shoes are generally cut narrower...I've never found a pair of regular-width Nikes I could live with.
