Thinking about picking up a pair of these bad boys. Has anyone any experience with the VS shoes and how does the sizing compare to chucks? I think they have a slightly lower heel than previous models and may come out of the same factory as the do-wins. I'm not spending 120 dollars plus shipping on do-wins because I'm: (a) cheap and ( poor. If money was no object I'd splurge on some of the new model adistars but they look too pretty to wear!

I need some shoes. Aren't Do wins 65 quid from pullum? These look a bit like my sons scateboarding shoes

Aye, I saw those too but I think they're the earlier version with the crazy high heels. The VS ones would be cheaper to import from the states too. Might just go for it although I don't usually buy anything without first spending three months procrastinating over it!

Just by way of a follow up, I got a pair of VS dynamos. They seem to be of good quality and I have a sneaking suspicion that they're identical to the old do-wins (although the heel isn't as high as I thought). Squatting seems more stable but I have to learn how to use them properly for cleans and jerks as they feel a little odd. In terms of sizing: my chucks are size 10 (with a little space) and the VS shoes are 10.5 US and fit perfectly. Shipping with two pairs came to $55 so the total for two pairs plus shipping worked out at $208 or €153 so it's 76.50 a pair shipped from the U.S.
