Probably not relevant to most, but for those looking for weightlifting shoes, Power Firm (www.weightliftingshoes.ca) is now carrying Do-win models from China. These have been very well reviewed for performance and price, with companies out of the US selling branded versions (Pendlay and Rogue). $125 shipped in Canada.
They are a small business out of Winnipeg and dealing with Joe was awesome. Emails were replied to immediately, instructions on how to order were very clear. I ordered on Saturday and sent payment via EMT, he shipped right away and I got my shoes yesterday! Not only that, because Joe thought I might be in between sizes, he sent me two pairs to try so that I could train right away without having to ship back a pair and wait for an exchange in case that the shoe didn't fit. I just had to agree to cover the return shipping for the pair that I didn't buy (~$10).
Just had a quick clean workout yesterday and threw in some front squats. Very solid base for pushing off, and the 1" elevated heel is enough to allow me to get into a better bottom position. Can't wait to put them through their paces on a more intense squat workout.
If anyone is looking for weightlifting shoes, contact Joe. You won't be dissappointed.
