Weightlifting/Powerlifting Shoes

>>37934892
adipower work well for squats, they are very good quality
why would you deadlift in shoes with a high heel? it's stupid, do it barefoot or in shoes with thin soles.

>not lifting barefoot

Wei Rui warriors because same heel height as Romeleos not extra flashy and 70 dollars.

i have been squatting for 2 years in socks. now that i've gotten shoes for squatting, i just can't get used to them and squatting feels really weird in them

>>37934892

Adipowers and Romaleos are bsaically the same for most people. The prime difference is Romaleos are better if you have wide feet. Powerlifts and Do-Wins are fine too.

>vans

When you get past 225 these are shit

>Front Squat in poverty heels
The heel is very large on these, but I got them for like £26 on sale. They're perfect for front squats but a bit overkill on lowbar for me.

I love these things so much.

No shoes faggot

>>37935903
Not really considering you can use them for years.

What is wrong with you people? You don't need special fucking shoes to lift. Just don't wear running shoes and stop worrying about it. Worry more about what you're lifting and less about your expensive retarded specially made lifting shoes you bunch of pansies.

>>37935415
If it helps, I have Adidas powerlifting 2.0 and I don't have any complaints except I don't feel like the heel is raised enough *for me*

Though I'm pretty sure I have some kind of problem with my feet as family member do too and worse.

They are comfortable solid shoes and you can get them cheap as shit online.

Deadlift without shoes, it's the best

>>37935902
Too loose, too squishy

>>37936234
>that guy who uses the equipment for his sport amirite lol

>>37936234
Should I wear flip flops

>>37936416
There are people that don't wear flip flops to the gym? Preposterous.

I mean you could take your shoes off when you squat, deadlift

You should squat in sandals bro

>>37936234
Want to know how I know you can't properly squat or deadlift?

>>37936416
>>37936436
You shouldn't wear flip flops. Ever.

If you have any doubts, try running in them.

Shit will fuck up your feet and ankles.

>>37936929
Well I would be running in running shoes, obviously
but one shouldn't lift in running shoes

>>37936234

I warm up with your 1rm. I wear good shoes because I care about the weight I'm lifting.

>>37934926
I find deadlifts easier and squats more difficult in oly shoes

>>37934926

It's all preference. There are people that pull far more than you ever will that deadlift in heeled shoes.

>>37935912
Considering ankle mobility doesn't often hold people back on low bar squats, yeah

Some people still low bar in wl shoes because they are nice and stable tho

>>37936234
They help most people, I'd like to see a novice front squat properly without them

copped this ones in blackhttp://www.adidas.com/pt/powerlift-2-shoes/S77952.html


I heard the heel kinda goes down in weights above 2pl8 but its just a bit and they're an improvement to any shoe I have anyways

gonna try this and maybe in the future once I get halfway to 4pl8 i'll cop romelos

>>37935415
Thanks anon
On a related note, any similar non weightlifting shoe from Adidas to compare size?
Im from the EU and I'm afraid direct conversion will fuck me as some type of shoes I need a bigger number and others not so much

>>37937178
Have you used them yet?

>>37937768
Bought them today so only being shipped monday, sadly.

>>37937178
You'll likely not notice

Yes the heel is made of eva foam which can compress unlike wood or tpu

But if clarebear can squat 280kg in eva heeled shoes then you can squat 4pl8

Just get Wei-Rui's. Theyre cheaper and better quality shoes. The heel is a solid wood and its more elevated.

>>37935929
haha these are the meme shoes in wrestling

if someone was wearing these they were usually terrible.


fine for lifting though

>>37936234
>t. dyel that can't even rep 1/2/3/4

>>37937178
i can rep 3pl8 and they're fine. desu, i probably won't be new shoes until they start ripping apart (look brand new after 1.5 yrs apart from scuffs)

>>37934892
you don't need shoes to lift. what's wrong with doing it barefoot?

I just bought some Romaleos tonight, OP. I've been eyeballing them for long enough that I felt I should see what it's all about. I'm excited to see if they're worth the money or not.

>running shoes

>>37935929
Are these seriously any good for lifting/squats/deadlifts? I'm poor and legit looking at buying them.

I got adipowers for my squats/cleans and i love them. No issues so far
