Challenger Wei-Rui Weightlifting Shoes
Alright, so I was going to get those $39 VS shoes that were posted on here a couple times but I decided against it last night and then when I go to actually buy them tonight, they're out of size 11. I normally wear a size 11.5 running shoe and from most of the things I've heard you want to get a half size lower than what you usually wear. Since I'd rather not go up half a size to 12 which is available, I was wondering if anyone has experience with these shoes: http://www.maxbarbell.com/collection...tlifting-shoes
They're only $10 more w/o shipping but I don't know much about what to look for in shoes so I was wondering if anyone has used these before/knows about them.
Site Description: "Features: PU upper, compressed rubber mid and outsole, able to withstand heavy squats, heel elevation measures 0.75 inches, total heel height 1.25 inches"
EDIT: I'm not lifting very heavy at all yet if that makes any difference. I just wanted to go ahead and spring for a pair while I can.

Yes it was. Did you get them? And if so, how do you like them?

I did not get them. It hasn't even been established that I might need them.

Ah hell, I ordered them last night, wish I knew about the code but I suppose that is good to let people know on here if they're interested in the shoes. Seems like a lot of companies do that but I never remember to actually e-mail them about it prior to buying. Makes them even cheaper than the $39 VS athletics. I just went with an 11.5 US, same as my normal sneaker size because I have really wide feet and I figure I can tighten them to adequate snugness.

I'm considering picking up a pair of these myself. Does anyone know how these compare to the similarly priced VS Athletic Xplosion II? I can't seem to find many opinions/reviews on these.
