 vegetarian with a big deadlift - who would have thought... Member 340, 13300 posts SQ 315, BP 190, DL 350855.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 04.04.2014 @ 19:40 PM by Ben_F Previously I have used:Pullum's Polish shoe... brilliant shoe but you can't get them anymore... wore them down on the heel eventually. Strengthshop Lions... never liked the feel of them and sole kept coming off at the front, gave them away. Do-Win... decent but sole kept coming off at the front, have kept them for stones and anything messy. Reebok Lifter 2... not had them long but happy so far... specifically went for these as it looks like the sole will not come of at the front as they have a bumper . Also, have tried on Adidas but they are too narrow for me... but I am told the Powerlift shoe is a wider fit. | ||

The addidas are good but i found that they were a bit to narrow for my feet im a 12 and bought a 12.5 and they were still tight. If i had the money id also consider romelos | ||

They seem cheap in comparison to the addies i have the green do wins and some adidas ones. i prefair my do wins as they are green and no one else seems to have them where i train as for performance i dont think there is much in it to be honest | ||

 embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Kel said:http://bigbugsports.com/shop/weightlifting_shoes/ Any thoughts on the Do-Wins here? They seem cheap in comparison to the addies I use the gong lu IIs and really like them, a good bit better than strengthshop lions. I have had a shot of a pair of nike romaleo 2s and they are certainly better than the do wins but definitely not £100 better. The do wins are very wide though so probably best avoided if you have very narrow feet. | ||

Member 4684, 28 posts SQ 140, BP 117.5, DL 190447.5 kgs @ 89kgs UnEq | Do you have to compensate for sizes at all? For instance my rugby boots are more often then not a size up from my everyday trainers | ||

Member 4684, 28 posts SQ 140, BP 117.5, DL 190447.5 kgs @ 89kgs UnEq | The do wins are sounding like a promising investment. Thanks for all the advice guys | ||
