COREWeightlifting Shoes - Squat Shoes for Men and Women – Weight Lifting Shoes for Powerlifting, Deadlifting & Crossfit - Strap and Lace-Up Gym Shoes – Non-Slip Olympic Lifting Shoes with 0.67" Heels

I'm a female power lifter with extremely long femurs and short torso, so I struggle with squats. Tried out my new shoes yesterday and was able to make depth and keep my balance much easier. (Raising the heel shortens the femur and lengthens the tibia to make it easier to squat more upright and make depth) But only with a 60% of max load on my back. Curious to see what happens on a max day.After reading the reviews I sized up a half size to 7.5. I normally wear a 6.5 in dress shoe and a 7 in athletic shoe. And it fits perfectly! Appropriately tightens with easily adjustable laces plus a Velcro strap but not too short so my toes feel crunched at the top or side. Shoes are very sturdy with no "give" in the heel.

These shoes are just right if you’re squatting or deadlifting. They are NOT for anything else. I wouldn’t even consider wearing them into the gym. They are stiff, flat-footed, and are exactly sized (regarding the complaints that they run small). The idea is to keep your foot snuggly planted on the ground during the intended exercise. There is no arch support, and they are a bit uncomfortable and militaristic if you were expecting a comfortable pair of Reeboks. I am a 13 and my toes are right at the front wall, but they are not painful during intended use. I will not be running in these. These shoes are great, just be sure you are getting them for the intended use and not expecting a proper crossfit shoe.

Been looking for months for a good, stylish, flat-but-not-hard pair of shoes I can wear strictly for doing deadlifts and such. I used to do all my workouts with the same pair of running shoes, but I've learned that it IS as important as they say to have appropriate shoes for different types of fitness. Truthfully, in my home gym, I like lifting barefoot, but in the winter when it's cold or if I go to a public place obviously I want shoes, and I want them as close to barefoot as possible.I do crossfit work once in a while, but I don't think I do it enough to justify keeping these shoes. Also, even though they were my size, they felt a little tight, and since they're made of a harder material that was too uncomfortable for me.

My 8 year old loves these lifters!

These shoes looked to be a good starting shoe for Olympic lifting. Good fit (I did order a size up) and good height. However, after 4 months of twice weekly use, the soles are starting to come off. If they were cheaper, I’d just cut my losses, but being $90 and already breaking down is kind of disappointing. Yes, they’re a cheaper lifting shoe, but they’re still expensive enough for a shoe you’d expect at least a bit more time out of.

These are great and have good toe room and comfortable. Exactly as advertised. I wish they were cuter but if they were they would be more $. I like these a lot and they are literally exactly what they look like they are. I only ordered these bc the more expensive ones I was going to get were going to take longer but these came next day and I didnt bother ordering the TYR ones which.

I purchased these lifters due to the price point. I squat/train legs once weekly. (Not including deadlift and posterior chain work) I’ve had these shoes 2 months and squatted in them approximately 8 times. First few times using the shoe were fine. Around the 5th or 6th session in these shoes, I noticed my toes coming off of the floor resulting in a loss of stability. It’s as if the arch support became over pronounced. If the weight is on my heel, my toes are off the floor. If my toes are on the floor, my heels are up. With the over pronounced arch, it felt like my heel and the toe box sank into the shoe leaving the noticeable difference in the arches. After doing warm up sets during my 8th session, I noticed overpronation in my ankles which altered my form even further despite reinforcing my cues. NOT WORTH THE MONEY.

I broke both ankles in 2020. Then a herniated disc in 2022. At 70 years old, I was diagnosed with osteoporosis and muscle weakness. I started weight lifting and after 4 months of lifting, I decided to purchase these shoes. My expectations were low. What difference could they make? Boy was I wrong. They are amazing. I have so much more stability in planting my feet. No sliding. I would highly recommend.Side note...they do run very small. I wear a 5 and 1/2 woman's shoe. I noticed they ran small so I ordered a 6 1/2. I had to return them and get a 7 1/2. However, so worth the tiny inconvenience of finding the right size.
