As someone who has personally owned and trained with this shoe I can say with confidence that they will get the job done, but they won’t last forever. The VS Dynamo weightlifting shoe is one of just a few lifting shoes under the $100 mark but this comes with its own price. The fit of the shoe runs true to size, unless you have wide feet, then you’ll need to get a half size larger. The suede exterior is comfortable and easy to break in, but it doesn’t seem as though it will hold up for very long if you go to the gym frequently. Furthermore, the rubber sole initially grips very well, but wears extremely fast. You’ll be left with a huge slick spot on your heel which will be dangerous if you do any lifts that require landing, such as a power clean.The only solution to this is have the shoe resoled with something more durable.

If you do decide to go with the VS shoes, get the solid leather pair. They only come in white, and they will still suffer the same sole issues, but my guess is the exterior will last much longer.  Also, solid leather lifting shoes are usually more stable.
