Vivobarefoot Motus Strength Review for Powerlifting

I just got the Vivobarefoot Motus Strength and I wanted to post a review for anyone interested in powerlifting in them. These are marketed as a more durable barefoot shoe for the gym and I have to say the grip is fantastic. I felt very stable during my deadlifts this morning.

The upper feels much more secure than their standard models which is great for lateral movements. However I am still getting used to the total lack of cushion during my heavy squats. It really forces you to engage your feet and maintain your arch. I train in Vancouver and I love how these feel on the wooden platforms.

Are there any other barefoot fans here who use these for their main lifts? I am curious if you think they are worth the premium price over just a basic flat shoe. I really like the wide toe box and the zero drop feel so far.
