    Doubt you'll get a better price than here: http://www.nerlinger.com/

    If you're not set on the Adipowers, I got the power perfect II from here: http://www.profitness-supplies.com/clothing-and-accessories/lifting-shoes/adidas-power-perfect-ll.html for 99 quid, which is a decent price I think.

    Although that Nerlinger site is unreal value for the Adipowers...

    Don't get the power perfects. If you ever try on the adipower or adistars, you'll instantly hate your power perfects and never want to wear them again.

    Don't say that. You put the thought of buying adipowers into my head.

    What's an additional €50 over the 4/5 years you'll have them for.

    That's like 250+ workouts minimum. Extra cost of 20c a workout. Don't be ghey now.

    Wow, that big a difference? Goddammit.

    I love the power perfects, but if I'd known I could have gotten the adipower for only 50 quid more I'd have bought em in a heartbeat.

    Edit: Although I'd be worried if I wore them I might be mistake for COH and people would load an additional 200kg onto the bar while I was squatting...

    I already have power perfects. I couldn't find an eu store with adipowers in stock when I was buying them

    Got mine from Pro-fitness supplies as I didn't want to be sending international parcels back and forth if there was a size issue.
    Converse size 9 > Adipower size 10 gives a similarly snug fit in both, and I have wide feet.
    Worth every cent IMHO, even if I do only wear them for 20 minutes 2 or 3 times a week.

    Adipowers all the way.
    I leave my power perfects in the gym at work - just not the same

    Just out if interest what do you find better with the adistars over the power perfects? Just curious, want to know if it's worth the upgrade. If I had one complaint with the power perfects is that they are bit narrow. The adistars seem a bit wider from what I've seen of them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,818 ✭✭✭Inspector Coptoor


    Bit wider, bit of a snugger fit too.

    You could wear the PPs as runners, couldn't wear the Adipowers for ages like, they're meant to be tight like.

    Harder heel too I think

    Did you have to go up a shoe size for adipowers?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,818 ✭✭✭Inspector Coptoor


    I came down actually.
    I wear 11'a in Aasics & wear 10.5 with Adipowers

    A chap I know - Welsh lad and a bb'er who recently did a 300kg squat was thinking of shoes and was being recommended nike over addidas -I said addidas all the way but the others were adamant about the nike!

    If I were buying it would be top of the line even for my paltry lifts. :D

    I love my adipowers... great investment. Like ninjas for your feet!
