Weight lifting footwear-where to buy

rccaulfield

Anyone recommend a place-sum mad prices out there-find myself rocking a bit in runners.

Most recommend converse all stars. I got fake ones in dunnes for under €10, just shoe type ones, not past the ankle.

try barefoot(in socks for hygiene)

www.pullum-sports.co.uk would generally be the best value.

Try http://www.profitnesssupplies.ie/site/ I am just after ordering a pair of Do-Win Weightlifting Shoes I am getting them delivered for €95. I was finding it hard to find any powerlifting stuff. But Paul from profitnesssupplies has every thing you need and more here.

Hope this helps

Like barefoot but more hygenic and less slippy.

Sorry, I did not meant to avoid the ankle ones. I just meant the ones I got were the small ones, they did not have the ankle ones in dunnes and I prefer the low ones. It is the flat rock solid thin sole that is the advantage. I doubt that thin canvas on the ankle offers any benefit/support.

Mine are like these


You can pick up cheapo runners with flat hard soles with no heels in many shops.

Just remember it is not the style, it is the solid flat sole that is important.

I think Hanley even said before that a lot of lifting records were set by lads wearing cons!

Yeah I did. Cons are a solid all around training shoe. I've had mine like 4 years at this stage and they're still going strong. They're tattered and in bits, but perfectly servicable still.

There's an outlet centre in Kildare, if anyone fancies a spin.
Discounted Nike shop.

Since the op's been answered, what would be a decent price for a singlet?

It amazes me the vitriol those five fingers get.

Frankly, it makes me think less of the people who slag them.

Can we start a new thread about this, please?

I've heard, for instance, that there's a croc badge owners club.
Is this true?
