Hi, I'm after some weightlifting shoes, now I'm size 11 normally and have heard you need to get a half size/size smaller.
Is this right?
Can anyone recommend a pair?
Does anyone have a pair that they want to sell on?

I've never used any before so don't really want to spend silly money on a pair and not get on with them.

Thanks.

I've been using the Strengthshop Lions for the last year, size 8 1/2.
They didn't turn me into Superman overnight as I planned but they're cheaper than most, come in half sizes and are still in very good nick so should get a few years out of them.

Getting shoes will change your lifting! People I recommend them too are skeptical, then are always amazed how much difference they make when they try them! I use DoWins and get on realy well with them. I wear an 11, and they are an 11.

Adidas are good but for the narrow footed person but i find Du wins are pretty good, bulky but the newer ones are a bit lighter. I heared the best ones are the Nike Olly shoes but dont think you can buy them over here! I'm a 12 and bought a 12 and the fit is perfect

Has anyone got The Adidas Perfect Power II? I'm after some lifting shoes and can't seem to find much info about these, most people seem to talk about the Ironworks 2 and 3. I might even splash out on the Adidas Adistar if they are worth the extra, but I can't find much about them from people who have bought them.

Hey guys,
Does anyone know of any suppliers in the UK for weightlifting shoes that can do trade discounts?trade accounts on large quantities?

And before you all say - The answer I'm not looking for is Pullum Sport, Strength Shop or Specialist Sport shoes!

Cheers
