The Best Weightlifting Shoes For You

For those who are new to weightlifting, the decision to invest in a pair of weightlifting shoes can seem unnecessary. Many novice athletes see these shoes as another expense, and wonder if the benefits will offset the cost.

But for seasoned lifters who have experienced the difference a pair of squat shoes can make to their weight training, the choice to invest in a pair quickly becomes a no-brainer.

The Benefits of Lifting Shoes

They Correct Posture

One of the most common causes of injury within the world of weight lifting is poor posture. When putting the body under such intense pressure, even a slight imbalance can place excessive force on muscles, tendons, bones and joints.

With the right pair of squatting shoes, however, will provide stability, ensuring that the body has the support it needs in all the right locations. This makes it easier to maintain proper posture and form.

They Increase Power

The most distinct characteristic of squat shoes is their hard, flat heels. In other sports like running it can be beneficial to have a softer sole, as it lessens the impact on the knees and acts as a shock absorber.

But when it comes to lifting weights, a soft sole can actually work against the athlete.

Instead, powerlifting shoes are intentionally designed with tough, flat soles, because they make it easier to exert energy, ensuring that all force is delivered directly from the foot into the ground.

They Enhance Safety

When your body is hoisting up hundreds of pounds, the slightest slip of the foot can result in a serious injury. This is why squatting shoes are deliberately designed to offer increased ankle mobility, support and an incomparable grip. After all, there is nothing a powerlifter wants to avoid more than an ankle joint injury.

What to Look for in a Weightlifting Shoe

Weightlifting shoes come in a range of styles, from an even greater number of brands. But there are several features that all of the best lifting shoes have in common.

If you have made the decision to invest in a pair of high-quality squatting shoes, we recommend keeping an eye out for these specifications:

A flat, even sole

No pain, discomfort, tingling or numbness when you wear the shoe

A snug, but not restrictive, overall fit that enhances your overall range of motion

Anti-slip bottoms for added traction
