I finally found a weightlifting shoe that is not too narrow.

Love them! They really help me feel stable despite the heel. The heels help me reach depth easily.

Excellent shoes for squats. I normally wear a 9. I bought these in 9.5 and they are perfect. Had I bought 9's I think the toe box would have been a little too cozy. Highly recommend you order 1/2 size larger than you normally wear. Very sturdy soles and they feel indestructible yet comfortable. Had been squatting in running shoes (I know, stupid). These are so much better, can't recommend them enough.

My current gym's freeweights section lacks a platform, and has sound-dampening panels on the floor. These floor panels are a bit squishy/uneven and can leave your feet feeling insecure and unsupported during deadlifts, for example. Wearing these shoes I feel absolutely rock-solid and planted to the ground, as if I were on a platform. All other features also great even on firmer surfaces. Deadlifts and squats feel instantly and dramatically more stable. Even though I can squat to depth in Converse the raised heel on these makes this easier. I have slightly flat feet as well and lifting with these is like night and day, given the extra support and straps. These are my first pair of lifting shoes and I would highly recommend them, absolutely worth the money if you can spare it.

Basically the toe box will squeeze your pinky toe in. Would not recommend.

Chose these instead of the classics, which I have a pair that have the rubber sole. These are a million times better and I loved my classics. Would buy another in a heartbeat.

I bought the “do-win” lifting shoes to see if they will help with my lack of mobility in my ankle as I normally have to have my heels raised on plates to be able to squat… the shoes are comfortable, perfectly stiff, very planted and stable during a lift… the Velcro adds a nice bit of tightness to make sure your feet don’t shift during a position like sumo… would definitely purchase again

I’ve had a pair Do-Wins for a couple years now. Loved ‘em when they were new. Over time, an indentation formed in the midsole, directly under my lateral metatarsal. I didn’t realize that for months. After all, the shoes are still in pretty good shape (pic attached). But that indentation would leave my foot in significant pain after heavy squats or cleans. I fully recognize and appreciate the benefits of a good lifting shoe, and these were good initially. Now though, I’m in the market for new shoes…and they won’t be Do-Wins.
