    So I ordered Rogue Do Wins, they were awesome but too small, could barely squeeze into them but did tough it out for one session and really liked it. Tried to exchange but they don't have the size I actually need in stock and I need shoes ASAP, meet in December and I want to be able to train in them.

    They can send me the Adidas Powerlift shoes but it sounds like they are garbage based on what I've read here.

    What else is out there that is available for shipping in Canada? I've found the Pendlay shoes but they are fucking heinous, haha... VS Athletics charge like $60 to ship here and the website is sketchy. What are my other options in the $100-130 range?

    I have the Adidas Powerlifter shoes and they work great for my purposes, the SS program. I heard they can compress under very heavy weights but I haven't noticed anything and doubt it will be an issue for a very long time.

    I have the Adidas Ironworks III and they work just fine. I live in Albania, so surely they ship them to Canada too. Now they seem to only have the Adistar, which is the best probably.
    I bought them from this site (in the UK):

    Hey guys thanks for the input... I ended up taking a chance and ordering another pair of the Rogue Do-Wins but in a size 11. The 10.5 would probably be better but after some research it seems like the difference between a 10 and 11 shoe is only 1/3 of an inch, and the 10 was SIGNIFICANTLY too small, so the 11s might even be a better choice than the 10.5s afterall. Either way I don't expect them to be too big to use, should be ok. I'll chime back in when they show up for sure.

    Seems your problem might be solved. But since the Adidad were mentioned: http://wlshoes.com/review/adidas-power-lift-trainers/
