Weightlifting Shoes

[8]

adidas weightlifting shoes are engineered for power and stability and feature our trademark 3-Stripes style. Push yourself to lift heavier weights, knowing you’re stable in specifically cut models. Squats and Olympic lifts feel more comfortable and it’s easier to maintain proper lifting form, which helps prevent injuries. Choose from advanced Adipower lifting shoes for the heaviest weights with a raised heel and high-density midsoles, versatile Powerlift weightlifting shoes, and durable Power Perfect shoes with engineered die-cut midsoles and integral heel support. All our high-performance shoes for weightlifting offer lace-and-strap combination closures to keep you stable with a locked-in feel. Super grippy rubber outsoles keep you planted on the mat. You bring the power, adidas will bring the stability, style, comfort and grip.

ADIDAS WEIGHTLIFTING SHOES

In weightlifting, training techniques from compound exercises to isolation exercises heavily depend on your footwear. To maximise your concentric phase and support yourself during the eccentric phase check that you have the most reliable, stable footwear to support your end goal. In a pair of adidas weightlifting shoes, a combination of laces and hook-and-loop instep straps secure your midfoot while a midfoot wedge provides rock solid stability under the heaviest loads.

ADIDAS WEIGHTLIFTING SHOE COMPONENTS

When you’re engaging in power pulls and dips, you need a strong midsole for the perfect foothold. Anti-slip rubber outsoles ensure you have consistent ground contact. The lightweight durable textile upper of our weightlifting shoes provide a snug feel. Hook-and-loop top straps give you a locked down fit for more power and stability. Pack your lightweight adidas weightlifting shoes into a gym bag with other specifically engineered gear from the weightlifting collection.

DEADLIFTING-SPECIFIC SHOES

adidas weightlifting shoes come with heeled soles or flatter soles. The footwear you choose will depend on your lifting aims and preferences. For deadlifting you need flat soles with as much traction as possible on the outsole to keep you planted on the mat. Flat shoes are typically less rigid than heeled shoes and a bit lighter. The elevated heel of some weightlifting shoes may make deadlifting more difficult. So, when choosing your footwear, remember that stack height alters your lifting mechanics. adidas offers shoes with zero heel raise, wide toe box and low-to-the-ground stance, which are ideal for deadlifting. Their gym-inspired design matches items from our collection of weightlifting clothing.

HEELED SQUAT SHOES FOR FORM

adidas weightlifting shoes are specifically designed for lifting performance. For all-purpose gym and training shoes choose other types of footwear from the adidas range. Heeled adidas weightlifting shoes are suitable for more traditional Olympic-lift movements. Heel elevations are suitable for people with poor ankle mobility who want to do squats, clean and jerks and snatches. The heel is also helpful if you have limited ankle mobility or want a better range of motion in your lifts – supporting your posture and helping you get into deeper squats. adidas heeled weightlifting shoes, or squat shoes, have a stiff elevated heel, high density midsole, and low-profile grippy runner outsole. The wide midfoot strap on our weightlifting shoes gives you a locked-in feel and stability when you turn on the power.

Weightlifting Shoes Frequently Asked Questions

Are flat shoes better for lifting?
Flat weightlifting shoes are suitable for core and development lifts and will help you build a strong base. They are better for deadlifting. Flat sole weightlifting shoes allow more contact with the ground and evenly distribute foot pressure.
Why do some weightlifting shoes have a raised heel?
These are the standard lifting shoes, also called ‘squat shoes’. The heel helps you descend lower while maintaining proper form, making it safer.
Can I lift weights in trainers?
Many weightlifters wear trainers with a minimalist construction for training. Though not ideal, if the trainers have a flat sole and minimal cushioning and provide sufficient traction and stability, they could be suitable. Wearing adidas weightlifting shoes removes some of the guesswork.
