Do win, Adidas, or Werksaw
Which brand would be better for a first pair of Oly shoes?

Kevin - my first pair were the red suede Do Wins. Got them from Glenn Pendlay. They were a bit to high in the heel for me. They have a really nice roomy toe box.
My current pair are the Adidas Adistar...I LOVE them. They are a bit narrower than the Do Wins. I bought them off of the USA Weightlifting site.

For the price and as my "first" shoes, you can't beat the VS Athletics.
Run true to size.

I love my Do-wins as well. If you choose to go with those you should probably give Glenn Pendlay a call to ask about sizing.

I would recommend a half size smaller than what you normally wear on the street to ensure a snug fit.
Everyone who wears lifting shoes at Rogue Fitness wears Do-Wins, including several who switched from Adidas shoes. I personally think you can't beat the look, feel, comfort, and performance for the price and support from Glenn Pendlay.
We sell the Do-Wins in our store here direct from Glenn: http://www.roguefitness.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=133
And here's some inside scoop...we have BLACK suede Rogue Edition Do-Wins coming in February! |

I have the Do-Wins and have to agree the sizing is a little big so order smaller.

awesome... I'll have to get some Do-wins then. A lot cheaper than the 199 adidas pair. |

another thumbs-up for Do-Win!
I have the red suede Do-Wins and love them! I have specific needs (wide 4EE feet and bad ankle flexibility) so the wider toe box and higher heel are advantageous to me. Glenn was very helpful in listening to my needs and recommending the best shoe.

Just got a pair of the VS shoes. I hear they are the same last and heel height as the Do-Wins. I have developed a bit of pain just below the kneecap of my right knee. I suspect the height of the heel may be the cause, but was wondering if anyone else has had this issue. I am doing starting strength, Squats deads, bench, power clean, and presses. I am guessing it is the squats. Also, does anyone have experience with alterring their shoes for a shorter leg?
