Title: olympic weightlifting shoes
Post by: dunkingfreak on April 11, 2012, 12:08:11 pm

For those who have them are they worth it? I'm thinking about getting a pair probably the VS's if anything.

I got a pair of Rogue Do-Wins (half a size too small) and holy shit it felt amazing to squat with them.

You can go deeper with better form. And you are so much more stable.

I only used them once though, because they're too small on me. Too lazy to get another pair that fit me.

What are your recommended weightlifting shoes? Is http://wlshoes.com/ (http://wlshoes.com/) a good review site for weightlifting shoes?

rogue do-win have done me right so far and they cost less than $100 when i bought 'em. that website looks solid, actually, thanks for the link. might try for those wei-ruis when the do-wins die.

kingfish can address higher-end shoes if he feels like it.

I'll sell you my 2011 do-wins for $85. Only wore them once. They are literally brand new still. You can even smell it.

Size 9.0

you talkin' to me? if so, 1) i'm not in the market at the moment; and 2) your feet are too small.

Lol I've had them for i think 2 years and don't know what to do with them. they're small on me too. a 9.5 would be perfect for my feet, even a 10.0 is fine.

Are olympic lifting shoes supposed to fit VERY snug?
