It’s crazy they could just release the same shoe they made in 2008 and sell out in a week.
These companies don't care about weightlifting. Crossfit is where the money is, so we have been getting a lot of lightweight, breathable garbage in the last several years. Anta looks like a good shoe because it appears they reverse engineered the R2s, and I would love to see other companies do the same if they can't produce a novel engineering design that can hang.
The funny thing is that all of these "hybrid" weightlifting shoes are still 100% unusable for anything outside of lifting weights, it's not like making them out of a lightweight material is suddenly going to enable you to run a 5k in a stiff sole with 20cm heels
@@ericooliveira9693 this is so true..
Like who are the shoes for? Crossfitters would get metcons if they want a shoe to run and lift in, regular gymgoers will just get the powerlifts since they are quite a lot cheaper. And us weightlifters, would of course rather have the classic adipower 1's or something similar atleast.
what pair would you recommend for someone that does squats only ?
@@ayda2876 Reebok legacy Lifter 2 or Nike Romaleos 2 if you can find them
The footage of the mini fridge snatching is absolutely adorable.
Been looking forward to this, let's go lads!
More shoe videos please, definitely interesting !
Love these shoe reviews! They’re always super useful and go way beyond regurgitating information on the box. What do you think of the Adidas Power Perfect 3 as an Olympic lifter?
Got these for 90 euros on blackfriday. Going from the powerperfect 3 to these and I'm excited!
All I'm going to say is my first 100kg Snatch 00:46 was much better than gurphs 00:43
the step back doe
Is cuz you weigh de 180kg at the time feetz ?
@@iano098 less than 100kg Rambo 😘
I've had a pair of Leistungs since 2016 and set my all-time best pull and squat in them. Later, the high heel (at least 1 inch I think) coupled with my (relatively) long femurs and excellent ankle mobility seemed to begin putting too much strain on my quad tendons (that could also have been my squat frequency though), and I've since switched to Nike Savaleos. These seem to have worked in my favour, and my squat feels quite balanced now. The Boa lace system is very handy, although it did eventually break (lifetime warranty though so no biggie), but the rest of the shoe seems very well made and durable.
You should do a review of the Do-Win raised heel weightlifting shoes!
I bought a pair of new leistung 2 for $30. A nice upgrade from my 10 year old Pendlay do-wins
Thanks for the review.
I have ironwork 3s and they’ve held up for the last 10 years. But I’m looking to replace them and I can’t find a suitable replacement based on reviews of what’s on the market. What would you recommend?
highly anticipated
ooooo i’ve been wait for this one
while on the WL shoe topic, im looking at the Reebok Do-WIn WL shoes, are these any good. Ive been wanting to go into WL and looking for some apparel to purchase.
Good buy if I get these for under 130? Compared to the LL2? I only use lifting shoes for heavy squats and found these on sale recently
I feel fortunate to have my adipower 1 in good order still..what a nice shoe
Need more shoe review but for the pre 2010 classics
Are you guys going to review the Anta 2's soon? Looking to see if they're worth the buy.
What size should i order in antas if I have adipower 3s size 9? used 8.5 on powerlifts 4 but adipowers 3 were way to narrow so had to size up, but yeah had heel slips on both sizes as described.
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
I have some Adidas WL at home, using as a good door stopper
what are ur guys opinion on the asics 727?
I bought a pair of Do-Win shoes as my first weightlifting shoes. Only really use them for squats as my ankle mobility is shit. The width is nice for my wide feet but the sole is not quite flat. It curves upward and because it's quite rigid it forms a kind of pivot point where you can be pitched forward if your weight shifts forward at all. I'm looking into getting some Legacy Lifter 2's pretty soon.
This was the newer version with the TPU heel btw. Not the old wooden heeled version.
@@SuperSwifte this was my exact delima.. Did you try the legacys?
I’m very excited for the TYR weightlifting shoe coming out later this year, apparently they’ve consulted quite a few people in the know about it
Apparently they've been working with Squat University, so you know the toe box is gonna be wide af.
@@SuperSwifte look at the latest pics of Hampton Morris wearing them at Panama the toe box is fucking hugeee they look amazing
actually i get the muffintop effect in my leistung, which i would probably move on from if it weren't for the massive heel to compensate for my poor mobility
what would you recommend tho ? i dont want to spend 200 on the nikes
Love my Adipower 1's
Still have a pair of leistungs , class shoe except for the narrow fit. Massive heel too
How do you think they'd work for a CrossFit style person? Isn't that who they're targeting here?
What is a good inexpensive pair of weight lifting shoe?
What about the power perfect line?
what would you boys recommend for someone with extremely wide feet
This may seem random, but anyone know where Clarence is at?
I wear US size 13 but I have a wider toes box so I get size 14s for some brands. In track and field throwing adidas seems to make the highest quality shoes (fit, comfort, and durability) and I’ll get a size 14 to fit in the toe box better though still snug with out pinching. I wear Adidas power lift 4s when training and size 13 works perfectly.
I bought a pair of their entry level shoe TTS and I literally couldn't wear them to throw in, absolutely killed me. I do find Nike to be slightly wider (had Zoom Rotationals for 2 years no problem) but been trying to get my hands on a pair of Asics or Velaasa which are supposed to be wider but just don't have any availability here unfortunately.
@@electivirethrows4298 I bought the Velasa north star's. they gave me Morton's Neroma. So far Adidas throw star, Adizero shot put shoes, and the orignal asiscs throw pros have been the best fit for me. Asics throwpro 2's were also poorly designed and very tight.
@@TheGudeGym I'd love to get my hands on another pair of Nike SD 3s, comfiest shoe I've ever worn and plenty wide without sizing up
I wonder if the ill fit would be mitigated after some more time breaking into the shoe?
I never tried the Adipowers, but I do like the Powerlifts, which are also pretty narrow. It took a while, but eventually I got used to the thin profile even though I have pretty massive feet.
Not if they are built as durable as the II. I have had the II for awhile and they still feel narrow at the mid-foot.
As narrow as those look I think your foot would just spill over if they stretched...
I've got wide feet and also own the powerlifts, they got super comfy and stable after a week of training.
Really wish I would’ve watched this before I went and bought a pair. Fortunately I got them at a reduced price off Rogue’s website. Oh well, at least my narrow feet will be happy.
I've had the same pair of rom 2's for 8 years and there isn't a single thing wrong with them. Very tough shoe and stable! If you can get you're hands on a pair jump on it immediately.
Can you recommend a retailer?
I recently got a pair of Adidas Powerlift 4s for $9 USD. They were new, but had a slight discoloration.
I hated my powerlift 4s. I have a pair of Dowin Classics headed to my APO
Adidas powerlift 4s are a solid option for anyone not looking to spend too much. People are relentlessly pedantic about them, but I honestly think they’re fine. Assuming you’re not a weightlifter or a powerlifter, in which case I can see why you would be more particular.
I'm still on my adipower 1s but they're falling apart. They hold a special place in my heart but I'm going to have to regretfully move on soon.
If I love the adipower 1s what would you recommend as my next shoe?
The shoe closest to the Adipower 1 made after it is actually the Romaleo 3. The R3 is actually lighter than the A1, and is not a clunky brick like the R2 and R4.
Sounds like the world needs a Sika Shoe. The Sika Hoof?
Out of the box question... How do you wash your weightlifting shoes? 😅
Oh Adidas, why must you let us down again 🥲
Made for people who have been wearing compressed shape shoes for 20 years and their foot is mangled to unstable and narrow thing, perfect if you could wall climb with that shoe (unfortunately it's not rigid). Not for people who have squatted barefeet and like full foot support.
can you walk into a sports apparel or shoe store in countries other than America and buy a weightlifting shoe?
I hate that I have order online and pray that it feels ok
I hate it too, all the "athletic" stores in the U.S. are just fashion stores selling branded clothing.
Nowhere in the world really has them in brick and mortar stores, they are too niche and expensive and they probably don't want to risk clueless people buying them because they look cool and hurting themselves spending all day walking in them.
@@AfferbeckBeats valid point I guess.
Adidas please bring back Leistung 2 production 🙏
Happy I secured a pair of Rom 2s for like $100 when I did
Can you recommend a retailer Tony?
@@adam702702 got mine for like £140 and a size up. They r hard to find these days
any comment on Romaleos 4s?
🗑️
adidas needs to bring back the original adipower shoes!
or adistars
@@pannonianfit1582 definitely Ironworks also but I wouldn't be able to afford them!
@@32srt32 not if they sold them for 200$
Instead of buying a new shoe every year, just shell out for the ASICS 727. I’ve had mine for over eight years. There’s a reason this hand made shoe has never been changed
I would, but for the life of me I can't find them anywhere over a US size 11. I guess I could order them custom, but the price tag seems absolutely frightening.
Ironically, Asics are a shoe I see getting worn out more than others. I've rarely seen anyone need to re-sole a weightlifting shoe, but Asics tend to need that fast. I wore Adipower 1s for about 6 years when they started getting a bit stretched and I stopped wearing them before I damaged them too much. I wore Leistung 2s for a couple of years but just didn't really like them. And now I've worn Legacy 2s for a couple of years and they're still amazing. And yeah they are useless if you're over size 10 because they don't make them bigger than that.
@@AfferbeckBeats
I forgot about the size limitation, but my experience has been totally different than what you stated. My Adipowers wore out in a year, that’s when I got the Asics. After much abuse, including strongman shows, I will admit my Asics could use a resoling and the leather in one is tearing but it lasted way longer than any other shoe. And the grip is still solid despite the wear, haven’t had any issue with slipping even in their used state. And the pitch and fit is perfect, I’ve yet to hear a single person say it wasn’t their favorite ever after trying it. Have to go back to the days of the 2000 Adidas Equipment to find similar quality
Gurph, would love for you to actually try out a pair of Leistungs bc they are truly my favourite shoe i've tried. Hard to come across in normal sizes now, and hard to get a colorway that doesnt look like complete shit
I would also say if he does, it can't be for a day like this test was unless the fit is just poor. You need to get your body positions right with them because the rake is so aggressive and it takes adjustment period. When I first used those they were flinging me forward.
@@kcb5150 So true. When I switched from adipower1, it took me about a 4-6weeks to really feel comfortable with them - super shifted forward. But man front squat bottom position is so crisp. But I do find the back foot in the split jerk a little unstable, so i'd love to try the originals
@@TheSilversimon Yeah the originals are stiffer over the toes and to the sides of the balls of your feet than the faux carbon or the knit.
The Adipower 2 and 3s are closely based on the Leistung 2 and share many of the same issues. The first Leistungs seem better but I never tried those. The worst thing about the 2s is the turned up toes which feels awful to lift in. The fabric is far too stretchy. And the BOA tightens far too locally leaving you with red welts on the top of your foot and they're still too loose in the toes. And the laces they added after not having them at all on the 1s don't really do anything and are hard to get any leverage on because there are so few rungs. Overall, the Leistung 2s are my least favourite shoes of Legacy Lifter 2s, Adipower 1s, and Romaleos 2.
@@AfferbeckBeats The revisions to the leistungs we're poor attempts to cater to everyone. Especially the very last ones, that cloth upper has a horrible, wayward feeling to it and the boa is almost useless. The rios are flat and pretty laterally rigid. Idk why, but the boa only ones feel way more supportive around the arch area also.
It's a shame Adidas is on this steady decline. Loved my adipower originals. Also loved the 2016 liestungs.
For me by far the best shoe is the Anta. They took the Romaleo 2 and just made it better in every way in my opinion.
I recently bought a pair of the red and gold Romaleo 2s just to try them out again and I sold them after 4 sessions. Just not as good as the Anta. Really do love some of the ROM 2 colourways though
What are the advantages over the Rom 2 according to you ?
@@thebeyonder4113 more comfortable, better materials, slightly wider toe box.
They ran into some random persons cubicle at the office and forced them to put them on.
no mention of the Adidas Leistung... Perhaps the best weightlifting shoe ever made. Toma still uses them, Nathan Damron swears by them, Mart Seim has spoke about how much faster he is from the slightly added heel height. Personally I love the Leistung. Any improvements should be modelled after the Leistung, not the adipower!
and as soon as I pressed comment, Daire mentions them hahaha
Specifically the Rio leistungs, not the 16 2.. Once they added laces and started messing with upper fabric they started stripping support from the shoe.. Those first leistungs are awesomely stable laterally
@@kcb5150 personally I wasn't able to find a pair of the originals in size 10, but the 16 2's are awesome. Id rather not have laces as there is no need for them anyway with the Boa
if you have know of anywhere that you can still find them please share
@@TheSilversimon I have the rios now and had the last version of 16 2 the all red one with that knit stuff. The first run have way more lateral support and are extremely secure. I also love how the heel in the 16 Rio is the same liner as the 04 adistar where it is slick going in and grabby pulling out so there is zero heel slip. I ping pong between those and my pair of ironwork 2 when I am just doing squats to get different engagement from week to week. All I know is when I am in the right groove with those leistungs, weights go up like a rocket vs any other shoe. It's weird
I would rather pay more for quality and appropriate supply then less for stuff like this.
Sigh.... I guess I won't be replacing my 5 year old AdiPower1's any time soon.
Why are there so many gate-keepers in weightlifting? In Romania it's so hard to find info about competitions, athletes, finding weightlifting shoes. I feel like you have to know somebody who knows somebody else if you want to compete.
Also i think athletes that aren't trained by romanian coaches aren't welcomed with open arms(sarms?.. no no, arms)
Because it's a fringe sport with an elitist aspect
Likely because it was never an amateur sport in Romania so the system isn't going to be set up for the random amateur not in the boys club. It's meant for people who came up through the system.
@@sikastrength Well, at some point in the future they will have to deal with me.. whether they like it or not
Its the same in my country lol. At first i thought i was being paranoid but others have said the same thing. The best you can do is to get strong as fuck and outlift their athletes out of nowhere.
@@-TK- what country
2-3 years for a WL shoe? Seems like a short lifespan.
Perfect width for me.
They are looking for the crossfit market
‘08 AdiStar. That is all. Worth the money
Lmao
Wish I could get a second pair for the same price of my first set.
I think the last number of years these companies are more worried about slick looking shoes instead of functional. Why make the toe box so small? I'll tell you why it's pretty. But useless
why can't they just remake the adistars or adipowers 1s with minor changes wide and what not, the 3s are garbage.... and hopefully spyder will restock their models
adidas weightlifting shoes have gone down hill. love my reebok legacy lifter 2
**Sum up the video** Don't buy these ❌
Uh de dus. Not ah dee das
It’s amazing that adidas can fuck up everything they achieved before, in China, adidas market is far smaller than Nike, and it’s getting smaller--worse design, material and everything
