VS Athletics

VS Athletic are selling these shoes for $45.00

Normally, they'd be about $80, but apparently the manufacturer wasn't supposed to make the toe 'White'.
They are kind of ugly.
But if you've been complaining about not being able to afford weightlifting shoes, you don't have much of an excuse for the next week or two until these sell out.

Do Win Shoe Review

Guess what came in the MAIL TODAY!!!

I was pretty excited, I have been really itchin to go hit some olympic lifts in my new shoes....

here's the story- click here to see the previous post

I got the first half of my order on monday, all of 2 business days after I ordered them. The shoes were not included, they didn't arrive until Thursday, or 5 business days after I placed my order. I am not certain why, but the shoes had to be shipped separately.

First impressions?

• style-pretty cool for O lifting shoes (kind of like retro Saucony)
• fits my foot pretty nicely
• I ordered according to my usual French size (44), but I ordered one size smaller (43) as that is what everyone says you're supposed to do. It worked out perfect, they fit like a glove!
• Not super breathable, but I have tried on a few others (suede) that where like spending a summer day in a rubber coffin. After wearing them for a while, I have to say; Not as breathable or light as the Nike Free, (duh) but pretty damn comfy!
  
• The heel is actually pretty understated. It's shorter than last year's Do Win, which is fine by me, because like so many other Crossfitting jerks, I have been doing most of my O lifts in Nike Free's. I wasn't ready to start wearing stilettos.

MuscleDriver USA is offering them for $99, which is about $25 less than most people, and about $50 less than most other serious weightlifting shoes.


If you are serious about your O lifts, or are not the most flexible in the calf, ankle, hip or knee, these shoes are what you need. Now! If you've been O lifting for a while, and have tried hitting your Front or Overhead Squats with and without Olympic Weightlifting shoes on, you know what I mean!!!

The best part is, MuscleDriver is in the Carolinas. That means, if you are anywhere near me, shipping is FAST and CHEAP. I have gotten kettlebells from them in 3 business days before. I mean order Monday, Snatch on Thursday fast!

I've been sort of putsing around, not sure if I would get some new OWL shoes or not. I am ordering these today.
