Weightlifting shoes

Need to buy squat shoes.

Can anyone comment on difference in quality between the QWA ones and the Do Wins?

Or any other brands that might be suitable?

Cheers,

I have the QWA's, no experience with the do-wins. QWA's work but are a pretty cheap shoe quality wise, and their heel is a mile high.
 
I got them off a ebay dealer in the UK. Was cheaper from them at the time. I paid just over $200 a year ago when dynamic-eleiko had them at $179US If I remember correctly it was about $30US for the shipping. Just chuck them an email.
 
I just ordered a new pair of ristos yesterday... was gonna customs make them hot pink and blur but couldnt justify the extray $50 just to make them stand out like dogs nuts... still bright blue will do.
 
I have the QWA ones, Oli is right the heel is pretty high, think its about 3cm. I havent used do wins but I prefer the QWA ones over adidas shoes, prefer them alot.

I've got Do Wins and my training partner has one's from Underground Elite which I think are similar to QWA's.

Do Wins have a lower heel, QWA's have an extra metatarsal strap.

Both have the same lining on the bottom.

Neither look like they will fall apart any time soon and they both do fine. If I were to buy again I'd get the ones from Underground because the Do Wins are more expensive now. If I was going to spend $140 on shoes I'd spend $60 more and get a better brand.
 
Ok, i just ordered a pair of the QWA shoes.
I bought size 43 euro. I'm size 44 (10 aus) in volleys etc but bought them a bit tighter. don't want things slipping around underneath me.

I hope they arent too tight!!!

Markos, I want some shoes in size 8 - the ones I borrowed off Max at PR1 were perfect. Just let me know how much $ to deposit.
