This is my third pair of weightlifting shoes. I have also bought the Adidas Powerlift and Reebok brands and have had to either return or give them away due to the size. I wear an 8.5 and ordered accordingly, but both didn't fit me. I saw them and the price was great, they also had a $5 coupon so I gave it a try and I'm glad I did. They were comparable to Adidas Powerlifting and I feel better than Reebok. This is a great show and for the price it can't get any better. I also like the basic black and don't really like the flashy color schemes of other brands.
