Just got a pair of Rogues (from Pendlay Barbell) and wanted to make sure they were the right size because I hear your supposed to wear them kind of small.
I got 11.5 which is what I normally wear
Finger is on the end of my big toe
What do y'all think?

I'm certainly no pro in the area, but they look pretty big.

How much space should be inbetween your big toe and the end/front of the shoe? I've probably got a good 1/2 - 1 inch maybe I should step down to an 11?
Can anyone that has these shoes shed some light?

To big. The 11 might fit, might not (some brands or even styles just aren't made to fit every foot) but you won't sit in the footbed of that shoe properly,nor will it provide correct support to your foot.

So your saying I should send these back and get the 11's?
I'm guessing the 11's would have to fit if the 11.5's wouldn't otherwise I would be kind of screwed right?

Most likely...your foot cannot be sliding forward they need to be secure and stable and those shoes have a heel so you might slide forward some.Originally Posted by Orthodox
What happens when you slide forward ..well what happens is you won't be able to completely drive off your heels because your weight will be on the balls of your feet. Now if they were flat shoes with no heels I wouldn't worry but that's not the case here.
When you spend bookoo bucks for weight lifting shoes make sure they fit right or it defeats the purpose and it's a waste of money.

Yea I realize that and from reading that thread I thought they would send me an 11 when I ordered a 11.5...
Thats acutally what Glenn Pendlay told me too.. He said "If you order a 11.5, you will get a European 45, I think it says US 11 on it."
So I ordered a 11.5 and got a 11.5
I guess i'll send em back and get a 11

If they are sized in Euro sizing, I would order them that way. I prefer that sizing system as I find it easier to get shoes that fit rather than ones that come close to fitting when using it.
