finally got some weightlifting shoes

[beerdrinker]

Bought a pair of Do Wins. I can't believe how much better they are to squat in. Not squishing around in normal shoes makes such a difference. That, and the wedge heel. I have been feeling a little pain in my hip sockets, and it's all but gone in these. They were a great investment.

yep! worth the money if you squat oly style. powerlifters don't find em very useful though. Wish I'd seen the Do Wins when I was shopping, paid twice as much for damn adidas. Might want to invest in some stronger shoelaces, mine snapped after a couple months.

I was pleased to find out the Do Wins are wider since I have pretty wide feet. That was a big factor in choosing them. They fit very nicely. I paid a little extra for the blue suede cause they were less ugly.

The extra power I'm transferring to the floor (and not losing in cushioning) is really significant. I feel like my feet are locked in.

Do Wins are great. I don't know how I managed without them. I saw someone else squatting in oly shoes yesterday and the day before, I saw traces of chalk not left by me. Perhaps true weightlifting is starting to become the trend?

anyone know where to find a pair and how much they run?

I have converted 4-5 people. All training in Addistars now...chalky as hell. I had to go interupt one the other day b/c he was ending his workout w/ some DB curls. I told him to loose the shoes and do that crap in socks or better yet High Heels.

I have been waiting for two months for titan to send me my shoes. damn those people are slow... but when i get them they will be great. I lifted them my friends a few times for max attempts and they are a world of difference.

+1 Great customer service.


al420, keep preaching the word. I look forward to the day when squat racks out number treadmills.

Question for you guys who've been hip to the weightlifting shoes for a long time. Do you wear them for every lift? I like them for most everything I do, but Pendlay rows seem a little awkward. I have to come up a little higher than I am used to to get parallel. I'm sure I can get used to it though.
