    People can call this an "entry level shoe" but dudes have been steady squatting 600 lbs or more in Adidas Powerlifts all the way back to the 3s.
    These are literally the perfect power lifting shoe. Even if you have good ankle mobility, squatting in these shoe will only make you better. If you don't have good ankle mobility; these will help without having you depend solely on a large heel of a .75 or 1 inch shoe.

    Thanks for the reviews! I've been squatting for many years, always with running shoes... :S Looking at moving to a weight lifting shoe but would be ideal if I can also use it for rowing machine as I spend many hours on there, I'm an athlete more than a straight lifter so based on your comments that these could be used for WOD I'm going with these instead of power perfect.

  • @harrisonlee3250
    @harrisonlee3250 4 года назад +1

    I wish I watched this before I bought mine. The heel feels noticably lower than my regular running shoes. You have an accurate review of the shoe though.

    • @AMRAP
      @AMRAP  4 года назад +3

      Harrison Lee regular running shoes are going to have a pretty high stack height but the effective heel to toe drop is probably higher with these.

    • @ndi5670
      @ndi5670 2 года назад +1

      Harrison Lee,
      These are weightlifting shoes. Not running shoes. Totally different categories. You do not want to lift in running shoes. An alternative to lifting shoes would be the Converse Chuck Taylors. Flat and supportive.

    Considering buying this shoe but I just want to ask you if I should or not. Currently I am squatting 100kg(225lbs)+ for reps but I am looking to do more weight but I sometimes every couple of months do one rep maxes. Also if I was to get these the main exercises I would use these for are Squats and Push press. Do you think these shoes would be valid for someone who just really looking for some better squat shoes to do back squats and push press only ?
    Many Thanks

    I wear an 11 in the Powerlift 4 shoe (but prefer the 0.75" heel lift). My foot is neither narrow nor wide. Would a size 10 or 10.5 be best for the Power Perfect 3?

    • @user-md2fm7ik2z

    What shoe would you suggest for heavy compound lifts including deadlifts and squats? My main issue is lack of stability and traction on the soles especially in seated exercises such as shoulder press. Also during benching, my feet slip. Thanks in advance.

    • @user-md2fm7ik2z
      @user-md2fm7ik2z 4 года назад +1

      Flat shoes (converse or wrestling shoes) for deadlift/bench, squat shoes (Adidas power perfect or adipowers) for squat/bench.
      Shoes don’t matter as much on bench.

    I'm looking to buy my first pair of lifting shoes - only for squats and deadlifts. I'll likely go 1-2x my bodyweight, which will be up to 300lb. So do I choose based on total weight or % of bodyweight? Based on the numbers, woud you say powerlift 4 or powerlift 3 or power perfect 3? Thanks

    • @AMRAP
      @AMRAP  5 лет назад +1

      Something like this would be fine for your usage but I would recommend the Power Perfect 3, Powerlift 3, then Powerlift 4 just in terms of what the better shoes are. These aren't bad, but the others are better.

      @Dalton Lingl
      I had the exact same problem you’re having. Romaleos 2 were too high of a heel.
      I’ve tried 2 shoes that were great, & I think Joel would agree (since he has reviewed both of them) :
      1- Powerlift 2 or 3.
      &
      2- Adidas Crazy Power Cross-trainers. The Crazy Powers have a TPU/plastic heel. They feel very stable & very comfortable. A couple of years ago they were selling for as low as $50 on Amazon. I’m not sure about pricing now. Adidas had also made an upgrade to the shoe with adding a sock-like upper that extends over the ankles; I have not tried that version, but it seems like it would make the shoe easier to put on.
      In any case, both suggestions I mentioned have a heel height that’s around “0.60-65 ; so you should feel more comfortable with them for squats.

    I mean no disrespect when I say that from my untrained eye, it just seems that the shoes seem a bit big for you when you work out with them in the third part of the video - are my eyes playing trickery on me or do they fit tightly/securely?
    Secondly, these will potentially be my first pair of weight lifting shoes - is the heel raise noticeable? I have *just* started powerlifting and I use a pair of Adidas Gazelles - the soles are flat all the way through and made of solid rubber, but I definitely feel my heels want more support/raise.
    Kind regards!
