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.

What should I look for in weightlifting shoes?

The best shoes for weightlifting usually have a stiff elevated heel, higher boot, shoe straps, and a stiff upper and wide toe box. The stiff elevated heels are typically made from TPU but some manufacturers offer wood, EVA, or slacked leather. The elevated heel helps with a better range of motion. A higher boot and shoe straps offer additional support. Lastly, a wider toe box and stiff upper offer more secure support and can help with toe splay.
