READ MY ADIDAS POWERLIFT 5 REVIEW: thatfitfriend.com/adidas-powe...
The Adidas Powerlift 5 is the latest Adidas weightlifting shoe to hit the market. The Powerlift 5 is the 5th model in Adidas' popular Powerlift shoe line.
As a fan of prior Adidas Powerlift shoes (I've liked 1-4 for the most part), I was super excited to the Powerlift 5 to the test. This model features an updated canvas upper with additional mesh inserts.

Overall, I enjoy the Adidas Powerlift 5 and I think it's a step in a good direction for the Adidas Powerlift shoe line.
For most recreational lifters and beginners, I think the Adidas Powerlift 5 will be a fine shoe regarding its performance. It's stable, secure, and has a good level of traction.
There are a couple of issues that I have with this model like its toe box and tongue, so it would be nice to see these tweaked in the future.

I still will always love the look of adidas. Growing up on old school hip-hop... Adidas was the shoe to wear. That being said, my wide feet don't allow me to rock em
A modern love that was never meant to be 😅
Amazing vid man. I really liked your analysis distribution!! I am getting those shoes!!!
Thank you! Really appreciate the feedback, lmk how you like them!
Nice review!
Thank you!
They're $84 right now. Just picked some up thanks to your review!
Welcome! That’s a solid deal 🤝
I getting two pairs for $57 each post BF sale. Thanks for the review Jake
@@alfredomeza4181 solid deal! Thanks for checking it out 🤝
nike sb forces are my favourite work out shoe rn
Just got a pair for 30% off! So for £60 had to cop, lost my 4’s when car got broken in. Excited to use them for my squats
Awesome! That’s a great deal and sorry to hear about the car!
Hey, I want to ask, I ordered EU 42, it's for 26,5cm feet which I have, but feel quite narrow for pinky toe, I want to return those and go up with size. Should I go up .5 or 1 size up? What you think? 😀 Thanks.
Adidas seems to have a separate lifting shoe design department that only caters to narrow feet. Maybe the idea is that squishing the foot makes it more stable, but then why did they go wide with The Total...
I think it more so has to do with the last construction that has been used on prior models. Cheaper for adidas to use a similar mold and only tweak things like upper materials than redo the whole shoe/shape 🤔
I just got the Powerlift 4 in 10 and 10.5 to try for a bargain price! Half a size up is 100% necessary for me. Unfortunately the metal eyelets dig into my foot - if it didn't have them they would be perfectly comfortable. I would also like it to be more breathable. Do you think I should try the powerlift 2/3? Is it the same fit, more breathable? Is the heel height going to be very noticeable or problematic for dead lifts?
Powerlift 3 would probably be the better call - not sure if they'll be much better for you regarding breathability though.
Same fit, yes.
Yes. IMO, unless you're doing weightlifting specific pulling (clean pulls, building strength off the floor with this style of footwear, etc.), then I would take them off for pulls as an elevated heel can mess with deadlift mechanics for most recreational lifters.
Wich model or brand you prefer/recommend to weightlifting?? Saludos from Argentina bro!!! your reviews are the best!!!
Thank you! Depends what you’re after - what do you currently wear?
I like the legacy lifter II, personally. The powerlift models are also solid for their price. If you look into older models you can usually get them for less than $100, too!
The og legacy lifter is also on sale through some outlets as well.
Rom 3/4 are okay - but only if you can find them for less than $150. Not worth $200, imo
@@thatfitfriend I'm not using none of them. Usually to lift I wear my metcons 6, but I think it's time to use some weightlifting shoes, cause I increase my.... weight?? I can't find the words but I think you understand me what I mean.
Hi Jake,
Nice review! What would be the difference between the powerlift 4 and 5. Wich one would you recommend? Both are the same price with the sale around my place.
I ask this because I just bought the 4s yesterday should I send them back at get the 5s for the same price? Or is there no difference?
Thank you. The upper constructions, mostly. IMO, I like the 4 a tad better because I felt as though the upper was more forgiving for different foot anatomies, but both models work fine and well!
@@thatfitfriend okay thx for the reply!
@@aronbeelen5998 welcome!
Got 'em for a steal at $30! Hoping these improve my ATG squats.
Ayy, that’s a great deal
Where did you get them from?
Got those for 70 euroes, first lifting shoes so felt like I could not get a better price for a better shoe. Love them, would maybe like a bit higher heel but whatver, it just means I should work more on my mobility. For a beginner like me they are great.
Like you said, I wish the toe box was wider. I'm used to barefoot shoes or altra shoes so I love wide toe-boxes.
I will probably change shoes in the future if I continue lifting, but for a price like that I can't say no.
Love it. Yeah, you can always level up and with the TYR model coming out in November you'll have a wider toe box option to look into once you've let these run their course. Good model to acclimate to a heel and figure out what you like/want.
I wish I watched this video before I got my pair, the toe box is smaller than the previous model, I would’ve went 0.5 size up
Why they don’t widen it like the CrazyPower and Total models is beyond me… 🤦🏼♂️
Are theses better than the 4,3,2, or original? Or it is basically the same with a new fresh look?
Same same. No need to re-buy unless in need, IMO. You can prob find older models for less, too, and you’ll get the same performance!
Im confuse to decide which is better adidas powerlift 5 or adidas adipower ? Im usually use size 10 uf im buying those shoes should i go half size up ? Thanks
Both should be fine and you shouldn’t have to size up in them, imo! I’d go Adipower if you can find them for a good price, though
Got mine for 60 waiting on them to arrive first time buyer of weight lifting shoe was using vans all my life thought I'd try these out
Heck yeah! Keep me posted on how you like them!
Where did you get them from?😮
@alvis1149 I got em off adidas website they were selling them cheap im guess to get rid of them so I was like screw it why not
@@pookiesationruiz6565thanks
Hi! how does Adidas powerlift 5 compares to Adipower3? does 90€ extra worth for that little extra height heel? I compete in powerlifting competitions(well only once yet lol), always trained with converses chuck tailors, would you recommend me powerlifts 5 or adipower 3? is that height heel really important if i squat low bar and i dont have mobility issues? would these shoes add more stability than converses? thanks alot! hope you respond, because im lost rn 😅
IMO, not prob worth for your context. It’s tough to say regarding heel height without seeing your squat mechanics, but my gut says it will prob matter very little to you and I’m curious if you’ll end up preferring your converse or weightlifting shoes for low-bar once you play with both.
That being said, I’d go powerlift and use them as a tool to see where they fit your training/competition context. For ex, if you prefer your converse once you try them, you could always use them for high bar in the off season etc.!
@@thatfitfriend thanks!
For someone with wide feet, for strenght workouts (with deadlifts, squats, front squats, bulgarian split squats...) and for recreational focus, which is the overall best shoes to buy? I'm so divided between a lot of shoes:
- metcon 8
- rebook nano x2
- adidas the total
- adidas powerlift 5
- Reebok Lifter PR II
Hit you back on my other video, friend!
@@thatfitfriend thanks! Keep with the good work 👏
what did you end up choosing and why?
@@tallrodster7103 I just bought the Adidas The Total and I really enjoy them. I was already used to a low profile shoe, this was really what I was looking for. The toebox is somehow wide, but I'm happy I didn't went down half size since it would probably be too small for my feet afterwards.
I wanted to go with the nike metcon 7 or 8. But they were more expensive and the ones I wanted were out of stock. I think that 77€ for the Adidas The Total was a great deal!
Sadly in my coutry the sports stores don't have this kind of shoes... so I had no way to try any of these shoes personally. I just ordered them and waited for the best.
Good review, thank you. May I ask, why did you decide on Powerlifts over Adipowers? Any advice on heel height would be appreciated as I don't know whether I'd benefit from the added height. I generally squat low bar, plus the other compound movements. Maybe looking into clean and press soon. Thanks!
Thank you!
I’m rotating through models atm and building out my weightlifting shoe review playlist! I like both models though.
For sure. What do you currently use for training? How are they working? Do you struggle with depth?
Ah awesome, in which case I’ll follow your channel and await more reviews! Think you’ll do an Adipower video? There seem to be none on the Adipower 3s just released, and it seems the 2’s are a tad too flexible. I’d be interested on your take having tried both.
I use the Powerlift 3’s and honestly, they do the job just fine. Mobility is good incl ankles so I don’t feel the heel would be justified necessarily. I think it’s more just wanting more gear!
I appreciate you getting back to me, thank you.
@@ajboswell thank you and welcome. Stoked to have ya!
Haha, I have a pair arriving tomorrow! Curious to see if they live up to the $240 spent on them…(after taxes on rogue)!
The gear trap is endless. Training gear and Tacoma parts are my current vices 😅
Stay tuned for the Adipower! 💪
Awesome I’ll forward to it, thanks for getting back to me!
Cool Adidas is making more lifting shoes now
Yesir!
I really hate that the solution for a narrow width is sizing up in length. There is no way in any world where having an extra inch in the toes or your heel not hitting the cup is safe or comfortable.
I’m in the same camp of thought for the most part. In most cases, folks end up feeling like they’re swimming in their shoes which is I’m usually like…just opt for a better fitting shoe/last.
You mentioned people with wider feet would likely want to look elsewhere. Do you have any recommendations for shoes that perform similarly but with a wider toe box?
TYR L-1 Lifter, go up a half-size in em and you'll be money
It seems that my good old AdiPower1's are hard to replace.
Thems be facts
Totally agree with the cons!
🤌🤌🤌 wish there weren’t any tho 😂
How do they compare to the powerlift 4's overall?
Honestly, super similar. Same stability, security, and overall fit. Go 4s and save monies if you're debating the two!
@@thatfitfriend yeah I think I kinda get that from your overall review video. Thanks 🙏
@@azamalias perfect! And you’re welcome 💪
I ordered these ( i usually squat in socks). Would deadlifting in these be a bad idea? (Conventional)
I have a video on that topic: ruclips.net/video/xJEMljWbLhI/видео.html
Hit me if you have additional questions 🤝
Thanks! Subbed 👍👍
@@me-fv5xb appreciate you 🤝
What make project rock 5 better than these for weight lifting?
Sorry for the delay here! Been traveling and just got home.
Not necessarily better, just different. The PR5 is a cross-training shoe while this model is a weightlifting shoe. It's kind of like comparing apples to oranges. One shoe is more versatile while the other (Powerlift 5) is more specific!
I have wide(ish) feet and the ironic thing is that I like Addidas sneakers but their lifters/athletic shoes are narrow 🤷
Too dang narrow. Like Adidas, you just made The Total with a wide toe box...we know you [Adidas] can DO it. So please, carry that over to your lifters.
is this heel elevation like the 2,5kg plates or less?
Similar but depends on the plate you use!
Can you compare the toe box to previous model ?
I gave my 4s away a while back, but these feel pretty similar if not a bit narrower at the end of toe box. Unfortunately, I can’t do a side by side atm, maybe I should invest in a new pair 😬
@@thatfitfriend that'll do , I'm sticking to my 4 i think , 😊 thanks
@@ahmad53535383 a good call, IMO, especially if they’re working well for you 💪
Hopefully they continue to drop in price as the 5 becomes more well-known
I ordered mine before watching this video from Rogue for 96. I ordered true to size so thats a bummer
Have they arrived yet?
@@thatfitfriend no i ordered them about 30 mins before watching your video
@@thatguyfromhastings then they may still work for ya! I’m staying optimistic for you. Keep me posted when they arrive 🤝
is it tts?
Yeah, should be for most!
I got My Legacys 2 s for 86💀Why 115 for them ?
That’s a great deal!
Like many posts on here I love the look of Adidas but alas, I have duck feet. : (
ek-specially....
Weird thing to get hung up on
@@thatfitfriend hey man people have pet peeves that's one of mine 😂
@@jl5177 god bless
Shoes don’t make that much of a difference, just wear chucks or take your shoes odd
Lol, wut. That statement lacks so much context.
A flat versus elevated heel can make a huge difference, but you do you do 😂
