hai guys i need some help!!!!Originally Posted by Araj
Just got the VS Dynamo shoes.
I normally wear a size 12, so I ordered a 11.5, just because my feet are wide. They fit almost perfect.
It made squats super easy to do, I went so low I had to put the saftey bar a notch lower than what I usually put it at.
right now i have the OLD vs weightlifting shoe, with the extra high heel!
its too high for me and i need something lower, so i was thinking either the shoes quoted above or custom made ristos.
i have a narrow foot btw.. any input?

This probably won't help much, but the Adidas shoes have a narrow last. More pricey though.

Alright - yeah - I need to get lifting shoes. Here's my question:
I use New Balance because I have a wide foot and collapsible arch. Basically, I have an arch until I step down and then - poof - it disappears. Obviously the downside is over-pronation, and inward rolling of the ankle.
Question: Are there weightlifting shoes that are like New Balance that can keep an un-natural foot stable?"The reality is that neither strength nor technique will adequately compensate for a considerable lack of the other.....Excellent technique and poor strength will produce a mediocre athlete; excellent strength and poor technique will produce a mediocre athlete. Neither can be neglected for the sake of developing the other, and the two must be developed in concert - " Greg Everett, Olympic Weightlifting

Do they have to be purchased online, or can they be bought at the mall/regular store/etc?

how long did it take from you placing the order to recieving them?Originally Posted by Seosaid
I have them and love them!
I do however recommend getting a size smaller, as they run a bit big.
Also, Gwen is amazing!!

Wow, that's an awesome deal, too bad I don't need new shoes right now.
o-lifting or otherwise, lol.How many gymrats does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Seven. One to screw in the bulb and six to say, "Bro, you're huge, man! Ripped!"

dcamnc: Thanks for taking the time to make that page of the assorted weightlifting equipment, etc. That really helps.

It's all good, I've had the white VSs for more than a year, was just trying to get my friend into ATG squatting and possibly o-lifting and as we know, one of the annoying things about getting into the lifts is the fact that shoes are pricey as hell and you have to order them online...Originally Posted by dcamnc
