Yeah, I'm considering both of those atm. I'm just annoyed that I could have picked up a pair of adistars for €60 :mad:

I don't have any real budget in mind, just looking for a solid pair that will last me a few years

Get the Ironworks. I've worn both the Do-Wins and Adidas and the latter is superior by far. The heel on the Do-Wins is REALLY high and since you're coming from relatively flat shoes, I think the Ironworks would be a better fit. It's a good price too.

I got my Adistar's for like E200 in January 2007, have worn them 2-5x per week since then and they're still going strong.

Yep, I think I'll go with Adidas- the heel is very similar to my current shoes, and Im only replacing them b/c they're falling apart. Might get the new Power Perfect ones instead of Ironworks, they're only €105 plus ~€10 P+P

I second this.

$25 is not much to pay for all the Kelly Starrett stuff, the Bill Starr articles, Rips articles, the frankly bizarre but interesting stuff with Louie Simmons, and all the downright hilarious stuff with CFHQ's resident Laurel and Hardy, Tony Budding and Dave Castro.

A moment with Louie is amongst the funniest things I have seen on the internet.

I really can't stand Louie Simmons.

His systems based off european weightlifting??

You can ALWAYS squat more than you can deadlift??

Read physics books?

They're a perfect fit for each other, both babble on and make things unnecessarily complicated so people think they're geniuses. "Oooooooh Physics". I still think Louie's cool though... Bony Pudding.. not so much!
