Hi Chris,

Apologies for the empty post above - first time I'm using this forum.

Are the VS Athletic's still available?

Hi Red,

Thank you for coming back to me on this (I guess you figured out my original post was addressed to Chris in error!).

Yes please, a picture (or pictures) would be brilliant. It would be good to assess the heel height, which seems to be a critical factor in how good a weghtlifting shoe is.

I was considering getting a pair of Ironworks II/III as Adidas seem to be the defacto shoe of choice (availability) for weightlifters in the UK. Having tried these on I found them to be very narrow fitting. Unfortunately only Pullum Sports appear to do Do-wins, which are wider fitting. However, I've read some internet reviews which suggest shoe quality isn't as good in the Chinese-made Do-wins as it is on Adidas's. Not sure how true this is, but such information can't be disregarded either.

Hence...my interest in the VS Athletics you have, which by chance are the right size!

I presume at some point, if the shoe looks good in the pictures, we'll exchange details. I think I'll need to join as a member to be able to send you a private email/message?

I have found this site on the net Weightlifting shoes

I am thinking of getting a pair of shoes.

Do these look good prices. Cheaper than ebay as far as I can tell

Look like good prices.
Good find on the site - decent WL shoe suppliers are tough to find so I will be bookmarking this one.

Hi - I am thinking of buying a pair of Rogue Do Wins. How have you got on with them!? What do you think is best about sizing. I am a 9 in the UK just wondered what you think would be the best size to go for!?

Thanks for your help! :)

hello,
i ordered a pair of UK7.5 [my uk size] US8, and they are ok a little snug and may stretch with time, but i would go up a half size if i were ordering again, as if they were slightly too big a thicker sock and/or insole would make this up.

But i ordered my shoes back in 2009 and dont know if heel height and fit is the same.

Regards
Chris
