I own a pair of white VS Athletics Dynamo shoes, and I'm 6'1". They are definitely not of the highest quality, but for the price - and great service from VS Athletics - you can't go wrong if you're a recreational lifter. I clean maybe 2-3 times/week and don't snatch all that often, but squat 3-5 times per week, and I think they'll hold up pretty well under that type of wear. People who are performing the quick lifts as their main training lift might want to choose another shoe, but it's a great beginner's shoe. I agree with most comments here.

My experiences:-Great for non-serious lifting, until the sole wears, and it WILL wear away-Heel is too high and will feel a bit uncomfortable and unnatural-All in all, a good shoe for beginners who want to do some olympic lifting.

Is that true? I have heard that you should get a 1/2 size smaller than your actual size when buying lifting shoes. Is that true?

Since VS shoes have a really high heel, they tend to push your foot forward into the shoe, this may be causing the rubbing in the toe area.

How are these things (WL shoes in general) supposed to fit? I can feel my big toe pressing on the material in the toe area, just rather tight in general through the forefoot section. I have a 9.5 and all of my Chucks are size 9. Just got some of these the other day, haven't lifted in them yet. How are these things (WL shoes in general) supposed to fit?
