Rare Vintage 60s/70s Weight-Lifting Shoes UK 8/EU 41
These awesome sports shoes are a rare find and have barrells of retro charm! Used at Olympic level, these weight-lifting shoes would be handmade and often made to measure for each athlete. Ankle boot style in white with accents of red on the toe, back and straps. Full lace-up front with the original laces still intact and a strap over the top of the laces with buckle to create a perfect fit. The sole measures approx 10.75" x 4" and the length at the highest point is 4.5". We believe this makes them approx UK size 8. They have been worn but they are still in very good vintage condition.

Fabulous and unique original vintage weight-lifting shoes, retro weight-lifting shoes and 1960s weight-lifting shoes from My Vintage, hand-picked by us from around the world!
At My Vintage, we take time to carefully measure each item of vintage clothing so that you have the best chance of ensuring a good fit whenever you buy from us. We measure the clothing laid flat as the diagrams show below and for bust, chest, waist and hips we double the measurement. For example, if the waist measures 17" across when laid flat then this would equate to a 34" waist (17 x 2 = 34)
We use the measurements we collate to assign each item of vintage clothing with an approximate modern-day size. For example, a dress with a 34" bust, 28" waist and 34" hips would normally equate to a current UK size 10. The labels on vintage clothing can vary massively depending on country of origin and date of manufacture. Clothing sizes have changed over the years and from decade to decade we see alternative types of sizing as well as variations on the way measurements equate to dress sizes.
We always recommend that you double-check the measurements of the vintage clothing item you are interested in, ideally by measuring an item of clothing you already own and that fits well, and comparing these measurements. There can be variations due to the desired fit, shape and fabric of an item but our size guidelines are normally very accurate and take the stress out of buying vintage online.
