How about a PM article on proper footware, rooting, etc. for lifting
After about 2 weeks of lifting, I am quite pleased with my suede blue Do-Wins. Squatting feels completely different and right with them. I do not know if it is a rebound effect, better stability,or whatever you call it, but I swear that my cleans feel stronger and more crisp with the shoes. And I know, at first, I was against suede but they do look super-cool. These are good quality and, most importantly, affordable shoes. I plan on starting Rippetoe's Intermediate or Advanced program in about 2 weeks and I recommend these to anyone wishing to do likewise or start a OL program.
I strongly believe in the importance of the proper, specfic footware for daily activities, orthopedic problems and athletics. Most people just go for the softest most affordable shoe and I often see people wearing the wrong shoes for the wrong activities. I have even seen foot problems in the 12 and 13 year olds I coach.

I went 1/2 size smaller than what I wear for my athletic shoes. I buy my Nikes in 12. From what I understand, you want them to be fairly tight so that your foot doesn't move around much in the shoe. I got them in 11.5 and probably could have went with the 11. I have to layer my socks when I use them.

Nikes are known to run about a 1/2 size small. I think the do wins run true to size or what you would wear in a dress shoe which was the advice when picking a size for the adidas. They are quite a bit wider than the adidas. I like the do wins better than the adidas and I agree with the others that they don't fall apart as fast.

I just purchased a pair of Werksan suede lifting shoes after reading a post from Pendlay that they were the best option for a narrow foot. I will post my impressions upon receipt. I am a bit nervous about the size being right, but I am hoping that my dress shoe size will work.
Here's Glenn's post if you are interested: http://goheavy.com/forums/olympic/in...mes/read/58008 |
