Rogue Dowins size 10.5, trying to find

Post by The man in black »

I had a pair, I didn't realize how awesome they were for benching until I had the heal removed and can't find them now. Anyone have a pair in 10.5 mens that they want to part with? The higher the heel the better.

I liked them a little for squatting and a lot for benching, not really an expert opinion though.

I wore my Dowins at a Rippetoe seminar-he told me the heel on them were way too high. That may cause you to think the heel on them is perfect.

Some nutter, maybe an oly guy, had a whole website/blog devoted to comparing the heel heights of various shoes.

IIRC, the VS athletics were identical to the Do-wins....a shade high for a lot of people in terms of squat. I'll dig around for it.

I managed to snag a pair in size 10 off of ebay for a total of$24. I appreciate you looking though. These shoes are the bees knees when it comes to benching. At least for me anyways.
