Finding correct shoe size

[Darkroman]

So I've heard the Asics Hyper Throw shoes are a pretty decent cheap alternative as a lifting shoe. From what I've gathered, all their shoe sizes are standard width. I usually wear size 11 wide pretty snug. About how much bigger should I go to compensate for my wide feet in these shoes?

It's a cheap alternative if and only if you don't want a raised heel. Most folks want a raised heel for squats.

I don't need one. My flexibility is not an issue at all, neither is my quadricep strength. I say that because a lot of times people need a raised heel because of flexibility issues, or they want more stress put on their quads. I don't need either. I just wanna squat without a squish.

Doesn't necessarily have to do with strength or flexibility.

OK. So if I'm a size 11 wide (EE), should I go for a size 12 standard (D) width? Or more?

I went with the standard size and they were ok. I wear a 14 in Nike or regular Asics shoe, and the hyper throws were sized about the same. Since you have a wider foot, they should be snug which is a good thing.

The nice thing about these shoes is that a lot of stores carry them. Try on a pair and see what you think. :-)

I've been looking and neither my nearest Foot Locker nor Dick's Sporting Goods carry them in store. I've come up empty as to what other stores might have them.

Dang. Maybe I just got lucky then.

The shoes fit about 1/2 size up from Chucks. If you wear an 11 in Chucks for lifting, get an 11.5 hyper throws.
