VS Athletics weightlifting shoes

Post by macmad »

I've never tried a weightlifting shoe before and since there are none available in Australia had to order online.

http://www.vsathletics.com/product.php? ... 211d320f25

These are actually the cheapest ones around
$ 59.95 US
Freight to Perth was $ 34.80 from the US postal label and I was charged $35, so unlike dragondoor they don't rip off overseas customers on freight. Took 7 days to arrive so pretty speedy

Quality: nothing to fault. perfectly flat sole, sticks to ground well.
Heel is hard rubber, and 4.5cm high at back.
Comfort: soft leather, comfortable inside.

Good value for money, and recommended

Ordering process was a pain as VS Athletics insist on a faxed copy of credit card for international orders, I missed the bit on the website for choosing size and had to email to make sure size was correct.
But overall I'd order from them again

I was going to order Adidas but had to ask Dynamic twice for a freight quote, and when I finally got a reply freight was $48 and they didn't answer my questions about sizing or what shoe would be best for powerlifting
