Risto Converts Weightlifting Shoes and Trainers to US Sizing
In an effort to make it easier for customers to choose the correct shoe size, Risto Sports has converted all of their weightlifting shoes and trainers to US standard sizing.

The problem with this system was many people fell between two measurements and weren't sure which size to order.
