Do-Wins sizing

[Tygerqb12]

I have worn a size 13 for every shoe I've owned since middle school. However, I had to get a 12 in the do-wins. Luckily I live just up the road from their physical location and was able to drive down and try them out in person. The service rep recommended starting with actual size (as the website does) but like I said, I had to go down a full size. I'd recommend starting with the 12s.

My Do Wins are a full size LARGER than my Chucks. I had to return mine to get the larger size, as did three of my lifters. But, they are the same size as my running shoes that I do not run in.

That said, I have two pairs of Do Wins that I don't wear anymore because I switched to adistars, which are a million times better.

Do the Adistars have comparable width? Width is the main reason I'm especially looking at the Do-Wins.

I have chode feet. I wear a 10-10.5 US and took a size 42 euro in a do-win. I can't be bothered doing conversions, hope it helps.

My WL shoes fit better than anything else I own, and I usually blow the sides out of most shoes after a year, due to my wide feet.

I would follow Jonathans advice and get something in the middle. I.e. a 12.5 for you.

The Do-Wins are great for wide feet. I have the Rogue ones, have had them for 4-5 years now. They are one size bigger than my dress shoe size (dress shoe 43 Do-Wins 44) yet one size smaller than my (Nike) running shoes (45). For them to be perfect they should probably have been 43.5. Bill from Rogue was helpful when I had to return my Rogues. I got them too small (43) the first time.

I'm going to get some new shoes from Risto Sports. Mostly because they can be customized, and I can get some pink ones for my wife, which she will hopefully wear. But also because the Do-Wins have a low-ish heel, and I am looking to move into "real" OL-lifting where I think(??) that a "real" OL-shoe might be better.

The Ristos are decently priced (120 USD), handmade and they look cool. They have also been very helpful regarding size, though it remains to be seen whether they are right.

If you want to look into the big names/(semi-)professional shoes, there are the Adistars TBone mentions, but they are for narrowish feet as I understand it. The Nike Romaleos are the choice if your feet are wider I think. But we are talking about shoes that are 200 USD here.

I was happy that I started out with a cheapish shoe, i.e Do-Wins. Any lifting shoe will make a huge difference in your lifts anyway.

I wear size 10 in everything and have wide feet. My 2012 Do-Wins fit a little loose until I pull the straps tight.

The adistars are narrower than the DoWins.

Only you narrow footed 'normals' get to wear adistars... i'm stuck with do-wins, which admittedly i'm very happy with

[Slatts]

Adistars are awesome but were too narrow for my foot. I was very disappointed with that fact because I believe they are the best shoe I tried. The do-wins were a compromise but get the job done.

Sorry about the later reply, my information was only really valid for the Rouge 2012 do wins as these are a completley different shoe that I have had no experience with. I would just be guessing to be honest, but if you can exchange the shoe I say order it, if you're happy. I would get a size 11 and if it's too loose exchange for a 10.5.

Hope this helps mate.
