We always ask customers and potential customers to measure their foot length in a particular way to ascertain shoe sizing before purchase, so we send you the right shoe the first time.

Here's our guide to measuring your foot:

1. With bare feet, place your big toe against something like a skirting board that is true, straight and immovable.

2. Standing straight, ask someone to place a straight, solid edge (eg, a spirit level or block of wood) just touching the back of your heel. 

3. Make sure the straight-edged item at your heel is running parallel with the skirting board.

4. Measure the shortest distance (A - see diagram above) between the two straight edges, IE, the perpendicular. 

5. Repeat the measurement two or three times on the same foot, to ensure consistent a consistent reading.

6. Then repeat for the other foot.

7. There is often a slight variation in size between the feet. Always go with the longer length.

8. Refer to the chart attached below for relevant UK shoe size.

9. EXAMPLE: Note that 27.5 cm is the optimum length for a UK9, so if your measurement is 27.6 cm,  this makes you a UK9.5.
 
Most people will be a half-to-a-whole size smaller in a Do-win shoe than other shoes, such as trainers.

Please contact David with your measurements and for any questions about style, or technical information.

Weightlifters have realised a different shoe was required for more balanced, consistent and heavier lifts.

The raised heel facilitates the “flat footed” bending of the ankle joint and at the same time a fuller extension of the leg, hips, pelvis and lower back – subsequently improving technique.

During a clean or snatch, the weightlifter moves his feet apart and fully bends the knees, hips and ankles to squat down when “receiving” the bar at the chest or overhead, respectively.

Effective technique requires the forefoot to be flat on the floor in “deep split” and “deep squat” styles to maintain balance and stability.

​A shoe with a raised heel allows the weightlifter to squat down with a vertical trunk, full extension at the knees and shins tilted forward.

Please note: You should not attempt to lift heavy weights without the right equipment and expert supervision.
