adidas Weightlifting Shoes
In weightlifting, training techniques from compound exercises to isolation exercises often heavily depend on your footwear. To maximise your concentric phase and support yourself during the eccentric phase be sure to have the most reliable, stable footwear to fully support your end goal. Check out the combination of features adidas have to offer and find the best weightlifting footwear fit for you.adidas Weightlifting footwear components
When you’re engaging in power pulls and dips you’ll be looking for a strong midsole to allow for the perfect foothold. Think about a weightlifting-engineered chassis featuring lightweight injected polymer that adds structural strength to your footwear. The rearfoot cradle feature will ensure superior lockdown stability while the adidas micro-adjusting Boa® Closure System protects the foot with a consistent hold. For high-wear durability, look to the adiWEAR™ outsole for long-lasting use in the gym. Most weightlifting styles feature an extra wide fit, which helps the foot spread and enhances stability, for a more balanced start position. As a close, smooth fit is of the essence; almost all footwear comes with sock-like lining while Flex Grooves at the forefront of the shoe allow for natural movement. Anti-slip rubber material features in full-length outsoles for consistent ground contact, we refer to this as an Anatomically Shaped Outsole, and it works for those that need lightweight grip and support. Vent Flow openings in the outsole ensure a comfortable foot climate while the essential instep strap ensures a locked down fit – every time.Weightlifting Shoes Frequently Asked Questions
What shoes are best to lift weights in?
The best shoes for lifting weights have stiff flat outsoles and higher heels. Flat outsoles (without cushioning) are best. They offer stability when squatting or doing deadlifts and push into the floor for added support. A good weightlifting shoe also has a higher heel which provides support and mobility for increased range of motion to the ankle joints. The raised heel improves posture so that you are more upright. Check out the adidas gym shoe buying guide for more information on choosing the best footwear for your workout.
Are flat shoes better for lifting?
Flat weightlifting shoes without raised heels help the athlete focus on core and development lifts and are intended to help build a strong base within an athlete. They allow for more contact with the ground and can help with balanced foot pressure. Flat shoes are typically less rigid than heeled shoes and are a bit lighter. Raised heel weightlifting shoes with a 1–2-inch heel, target heavier lifts and more traditional Olympic-lift movements. T heel can be helpful if you have limited ankle mobility or want a better range of motion in your lifts. They can also help support your posture and get into a deeper squat. adidas weightlifting shoes, for example, offer an increased range of motion with a raised heel and added support.
