1. Reebok Legacy Lifter III – Best Overall Olympic Lifting Shoe
- Heel lift: 22 mm
- Sole material: All-surface rubber
- Heel material: TPU
- Upper material: Textile
- Sizing: True to size
- Weight: 660 g
The Legacy Lifter 3 is made for serious weightlifters and delivers a customizable and stable experience. These shoes focus on delivering the best possible performance for deadlifts, squats, and other lifting exercises.
The inflatable pump technology is a fantastic feature that allows you to fine-tune the shoe’s fit according to what works for your lifting routine. Say you’re switching between squats and deadlifts and you want to adjust the fit – you can do it in a snap and you also have the midfoot strap to give you some extra stability. When you combine these two features, you get a pair of shoes that secure your feet in place, which is important when it comes to preventing injuries.
You’ll also find a TPU heel clip and a rigid, supportive midsole piece that provides additional support. The midsole piece is something you’ll definitely appreciate during heavy lifts, but that’s not all! The raised heel is perfect for those who do Olympic lifts, because it provides the best conditions for achieving power and stability on the platform.
As far as the outsole goes, it’s made of rubber and is super grippy and durable. The textile upper is very comfortable and there’s also lining to make the shoes even more pleasant to wear. They are on the narrow side and there’s no wide version available, but the fit is true to size so, unless your feet are very wide, these should work just fine.
Verdict
These are the best shoes on the market – packed with features and made from durable materials, they’ll last for a long time and give great performance with each wear. They receive 78/80 for fantastic support, comfort and grippiness.

2. Adidas Adipower 3 – Premium Olympic Lifting Shoe for Narrow Feet
- Heel lift: 22 mm
- Sole material: Rubber
- Heel material: TPU
- Upper material: Durable canvas
- Sizing: True to size
- Weight: 446 g
Adidas made Adipower 3 to deliver stability and control. Well, mission accomplished! These shoes have a dense midsole, a raised heel, and a grippy outsole. They will help a lot with positioning and posture for exercises like deadlifts and squats.
The canvas upper is very nice and durable, but the best thing about it is that it’s made of at least 50% recycled content. Brands caring about sustainability is always a huge plus, and Adidas constantly delivers in this category.
The lace closure is fortified by a hook-and-loop instead of a strap, which gives that nice and secure “locked down” feel to your foot. There’s no chance of your foot slipping in the shoe – it stays in place during all phases of lifting. The rubber outsole is another important feature, because it makes you well-planted on the platform and adds even more to the overall stability of the shoe.
At 466 grams, the weight is substantial, but paired with a 22 mm drop, these shoes are perfect for weightlifting because they give a very balanced and secure feel. Weight-wise, they are exactly what you want them to be and they feel great on.
However, although the features of Adipower 3 definitely put them in the premium category, so does their high price, which is sure to turn some people away.
Verdict
The Adipower 3 shoes have some very impressive features. Their focus on stability, combined with environmentally friendly materials, makes these shoes unique. The price, however, may be an issue for some people.

3. Nike Romaleos 4 – Elite Olympic Lifting Shoe for Wide Feet
- Heel lift: 0.78 inches
- Sole material: Anti-slip rubber
- Heel material: TPU thermoplastic
- Upper material: Synthetic paneling with reinforced, breathable synthetic weave outer
- Sizing: True fit
- Weight: 592g
The Nike Romaleos are the historic competitor for the ‘best weightlifting shoe’ with the adipowers. They’ve been around for nearly 2 decades and have offered a great alternative to the adipowers for people with larger feet. These are typically wider than either the Adidas or Reebok lifting shoe in the toe box.
The Romaleos have gotten narrower with the more recent designs. The Romaleos 1 and 2 were very wide, while the 3s and 4s are narrower and more true to fit. They offer an excellent quality similar to the Adipower with a strong TPU heel, great grip, and a strong heel cup for stability in the foot.
The Romaleo 4s are lighter than their predecessors and feel more nimble, but less stable, than earlier models. These are the shoes that are typically best for athletes with wider feet looking for a true to size fit without having to go up and lose stability (as they might have to in Adipowers).
These are breathable and durable, with the strength of sole and good upper materials to last for years. Overall, this is an excellent alternative to the Adipower with a similar material and build quality but with a different design and a wider build to accommodate a wide foot.
These are still more expensive than the Legacy lifter, which also has a similar amount of foot-space. This is why the Romaleo 4s are below the Legacy 2.0 on this list. They offer many of the same benefits but with a higher price – and one that just puts them lower in value for money!
Verdict
While they’re not as well liked among weightlifters as the Nike Romaleos 2, the new Romaleos 4 offer a high-quality build with a lighter construction than the Legacy lifter. They’re well made and high quality, but they lack the defining stability and weight that made earlier models so well-loved.
We give the Nike Romaleos 4 an expert score of 72,5/80 - not as good as the Romaleos 2, but still a great premium shoe.
These shoes offer an excellent quality similar to the Adipower with a strong TPU heel, great grip, and a strong heel cup for stability in the foot.

4. TYR L-1 Lifter – Premium Specialized Lifting Shoe with a wide Toe-box
- Heel lift: 0.8 inches (optimal)
- Sole material: Anti-slip rubber
- Heel material: EVA super-dense foam build
- Upper material: Super breathable mesh, faux leather, and textile weave
- Sizing: True fit
- Weight: 635 g
When it comes to specialized athletic apparel, there are very few who wouldn’t recognize the name TYR. They’ve been building their brand name since 1985, and while TYR did initially start off by aiming for the competitive swimming market, they’ve recently expanded into the gym apparel business and swiftly left a mark.
TYR has engineered a premium weightlifting and cross-training shoe with a patent-pending wide anatomical toe-box is an ingenious way of accommodating one’s comfort, non-constrained fit, and giving room for natural toe spread. Especially when there’s strain and pressure under heavy lifts.
The flat wide sole provides amazing support even on the most strenuous of lifts. And the adjustable double strap system furthers the support even more.
They also come with a 0.8-inch (21mm) heel drop which is optimal for allowing an upright torso during lifts. It also improves squat depth. They are unisex and come in five attractive color combinations! These lifting shoes are for those who need suitable toe room during lifts.

5. Reebok Men’s Lifter PR2 – Best Value Affordable Weight Lifting Shoes
- Heel lift: 0.6 inches
- Sole material: Anti-slip rubber
- Heel material: EVA high-density foam
- Upper material: Reinforced textile
- Sizing: True fit but may be a little narrow for most
- Weight: 408 g
The Reebok Lifter PR2 is a downgrade on the Legacy 2.0 but offers excellent entry level weightlifting shoe design for beginners. It’s also a good choice for a ‘squat shoe’ – perfect for powerlifters and fitness athletes who aren’t doing as much weightlifting but want excellent foot support and a cheaper price.
These are definitely some of the most comfortable weightlifting shoes on the market but they have more ‘give’ than you’d expect from a Legacy lifter. They are far more pliable through the midfoot and front foot, which makes them worse Oly lifting shoes but a better choice for your everyday gym shoe.
These are great beginner shoes for non-weightlifting specialists and offer some great support. The upper is very breathable and quite durable, though not on a par with the 3 weightlifting specific shoes above – it has a softer texture and less durability.
The price of these shoes is the lowest on our list so far, which makes them perfect as a place to start if you’re not sure how seriously you want to take weightlifting – or if you’re a powerlifter or professional athlete looking for a hybrid lifting shoe. This saves you money compared to the big investment of a Romaleos or Adipower, and slightly less than Reebok’s own Legacy lifter 2.
The quality is good for the price, but not the best on the market. They’re down here on our list because they’re not as good for Olympic weightlifting, but they’re an excellent beginner squat shoe and for those who want to get some shoes for weightlifting on a budget. The value for money is good, and you’ll have a great time with these shoes if you’re a novice.
Verdict
The PR2 are a very strong shoe for beginner weightlifters and for squatting in. They’re a great choice if you’re trying to improve your lifting and keep your knees, hips, and ankles healthy. They’re not much cheaper than the Legacy lifters, but have a narrower appeal and set of features.
Getting better quality is always better but these could be the perfect budget option if you only need a shoe for squatting or practicing the weightlifting basics. For that reason, we give them an 67/80!

6. Nordic Lifting MEGIN Olympic Lifting Shoes – Excellent Value Lifters
- Heel lift: 1.1 inches (effective)
- Sole material: Anti-slip rubber
- Heel material: EVA super-dense foam build
- Upper material: Super breathable mesh, faux leather, and textile weave
- Sizing: True to size
- Weight: 635 g
The Nordic Lifting Weightlifting Shoe (MEGIN) is equipped with a 1.4” inch heel. This is very high and offers more ankle and knee travel than other shoes, which may be useful if you’re very restricted in the ankles, but can be quite a shock when transitioning over from other weightlifting shoes.
This is for squatting primarily, and may cause some technical issues with snatch, clean, and jerk, in some newer lifters. It’s a brave attempt but can easily lead to unwanted forward travel of the knee.
However, these shoes are inexpensive at around half the cost of the Adipowers (depending on your source). It has a single strap, which is not as good for foot stability, but the upper is very breathable and durable. This is fine for powerlifting but not as strong as the Nike Romaleos 4s
The MEGIN are great squat shoes but are definitely more suited for powerlifting and general gym use. They’re a great quality shoe with a durable upper and grippy sole that can withstand regular gym training for years to come – with specific use for powerlifters and bodybuilders.
They’re also relatively wide – more so than the adipower, making them a comfortable choice for a true fit, or a half-size down. These are great for entry level shoes which typically need to offer good comfort and fit to account for fewer premium features.
Nordic lifting are starting to gain traction as a popular shoe manufacturer, so they’re definitely worth looking at if you want to save money and still get some of the best lifting shoes for powerlifting and bodybuilding.
Verdict
These are a great choice if you just need a beginner weightlifting shoe, a squat shoe, or Olympic-powerlifting shoe hybrid. They can be a fantastic introduction to heeled lifting shoes and offer a fantastic build relative to their price.
You’ll be saving money by trading off on premium features and build, but this is fine at half the price of some premium shoes like the adipowers - so they get a solid 63/80

7. Inov 8 Fastlift 360 – Affordable Olympic Squat Shoes for Beginners
- Heel lift: 1 inch
- Sole material: Anti-slip rubber with graphene
- Heel material: TPU thermoplastic
- Upper material: Custom ‘ripstop’ high-strength synthetic weave
- Sizing: True to size but narrower
- Weight: 360 g (hence the name)
The Inov 8 Fastlift have been an entry level weightlifting shoe since the early days of fitness, when they competed with the original Reebok Lifter shoe. They’re a more flexible and multipurpose shoe that is mostly useful as a squat shoe but can be used as an Olympic weightlifting shoe, with a lower heel and a higher quality build than previous models.
The Inov 8 Fastlift 360 is a cheaper alternative to the Legacy Lifter, the Adipowers, or the Romaleos.
It doesn’t offer the same premium build, but the price point is significantly lower and it provides a mid-point in the market in a similar way to the legacy lifter. However, this product loses to the legacy lifter since the fit is narrower in the foot by nearly half an inch, which can feel quite restrictive.
This means some people will be required to compromise on length (going a half size up) to fit the foot properly. Otherwise, the TPU heel and reinforced ‘Ripstop’ upper are both high quality. The only concern here is that there’s no elevated TPU or rubberised front-toe stop, which is a durability feature seen on products like the Reebok Legacy Lifter or the Nike Romaleos.
Verdict
Overall, this is a well-balanced product and offers a great upgrade on the earlier forms of Inov 8 Fastlift and their best weightlifting shoe to date. The difference is a stronger total build, which makes it a great competitor with premium quality weightlifting shoes, but with a lower heel that makes the G380 an outstanding squat shoe for non-weightlifting use!
Like the Nordic lifting, they deserve a 61/80.
Overall, this is a well-balanced product and offers a great upgrade on the earlier forms of Inov 8 Fastlift and their best weightlifting shoe to date.

8. Adidas Powerlift 5 – Best Affordable Olympic Powerlifting Shoes (Hybrid)
- Heel lift: 0.6 inches
- Sole material: Anti-slip rubber
- Heel material: EVA super-dense foam
- Upper material: 50% recycled rubber and synthetic weave
- Sizing: True to size
- Weight: 436 g
The powerlifts are Adidas’ entry level lifting shoes for general gym use and have been updated with the most recent version to improve durability and construction quality. They offer great style, a comfortable build, and good quality for the money.
While the design is lower quality than Adipowers, these shoes are significantly cheaper and have a similar fit, though a bit wider. The heel of the powerlift is lower than the TPU heel of the Adipowers, a 0.75-78inch (2 cm) heel made of high-density foam. This is a problem for very heavy lifting where it lacks the strength and stability of the Legacy lifter or Adipowers.
The Powerlift is a good lifting shoe for beginners but is not for super-heavy lifters like weightlifters and powerlifters. The durability and heel material will make them a little limited for top end lifting – with the sole and upper separating more easily than in other weightlifting shoes (especially during jerks, for example).
Verdict
These are not the best lifting shoes on the market but they’re relatively cheap and come with the Adidas name on them. This means they’re a great entry level shoe but don’t stack up to some of the historical Adidas cheaper lifting shoes like the Power Perfect 2.
The Powerlift live up to their name: a good shoe for powerlifting, but not the best choice for Olympic weightlifting or serious heavy-lifting athletes. These are 58/80 for the price and purpose!
They are relatively cheap and come with the Adidas name on them. This means they’re a great entry level shoe but don’t stack up to some of the historical Adidas cheaper lifting shoes like the Power Perfect 2.

Weight Lifting Shoe Buyer’s Guide
Why Get Olympic Lifting Shoes?
You should get Olympic weightlifting shoes because they support foot stability, have a raised heel for better mobility and technical performance, and they are far more durable than normal trainers. These make them perfect for regular heavy lifting and the Olympic lifts, which require some very challenging positions.
You can also use Olympic weightlifting shoes for squatting – as most elite powerlifters do. This is because they put the body in a better position to strengthen the legs and maintain good balance in the lifts – especially in the bottom position.
How To Choose The Best Olympic Weightlifting Shoes?
You choose the best Olympic weightlifting shoes based on their benefits-per-dollar, which comes from the cost, the strength of the heel, the stability they provide, the materials and build quality, and then how well they suit your intended style of training (powerlifting, bodybuilding or Olympic weightlifting).
The best lifting shoes offer more benefits for the cost and suit your needs. Keep your own style of training, experience levels, and budget in mind. All of the items on our list today have a place, but the one that suits you depends on these personal factors.
You should always choose quality if possible, as the best Olympic lifters are going to see significant use. You may own the same pair for years, and buying for quality prevents you buying twice – which is why our top 4 options are all premium lifting shoes.
If you want to go on a hunt for your own pair of lifting shoes here are the things that you need to look out for to ensure you’re getting the best deal.
Tips From the Champ
When choosing weightlifting shoes, your top priority is stability and a snug fit (without sacrificing comfort). Look for a heel height that will enable you to keep your torso in an upright position. If you want to further the stability, then look for shoe straps. If you also want your shoes to last longer, then look for ones with good-quality stitching.
Olympic Weightlifting Champion
1. Size, Fit, and Comfort
Ensure the shoe doesn’t run big or small. It needs to be a snug fit without causing discomfort. The better the fit, the better the stability and transfer of force. Having a good fit also helps prevent injury. And having comfortable sportswear will prevent you from performing the best you can. You don’t want uncomfy shoes breaking your focus and concentration. Adequate padding, a breathable material, and quality supportive insoles will help with increasing shoe comfort.
2. Materials
The shoe material should be top quality, such as leather or synthetic reinforcements, to ensure a balanced mix of breathability and longevity. If the materials used are of high quality, the shoe will be better able to withstand the pressures and stress of weightlifting.
3. Durability
Look for strong stitching. Reinforced straps and good-quality materials will help with the longevity of the product and maximize its mileage.
4. Heel Strength
You want your heels to be non-compressive and solid. The heel will be your platform for lifting — thus, it needs to be well-made and well-designed. Solid and elevated heels will help keep your spine straight.
5. Stability Features
All the pressure from weightlifting ends up at your feet. They are the pillars of your stability that allow you to do lifts safely. You don’t want those pillars slipping, or moving in the crucial moment. Look for lifting shoes that have straps. It’s even better if they have multiple straps.
6. Value for Money
If money isn’t an issue, then simply pick the best ones. But if you’re looking to get the best bang for your buck, then find which criteria are important for you, and find a delicate balance of performance and durability. But regardless of your personal preference when it comes to sportswear, you should never neglect size, fit, and comfort!

Olympic Lifting Shoes: FAQ
Are Olympic Weight Lifting Shoes Necessary?
Olympic weightlifting shoes are not necessary, but they’re the best shoes for any Olympic lifts and are required to lift the most weight with the best technique. Some competitors will use non-lifting shoes such as Nike Metcons or similar, which are flat-soled.
The heel lift, heel cup, stability, and sole construction are perfect for weightlifting. They have none of the compression and force-waste that you’d get lifting in normal trainers, tennis shoes, and other shoes.
Olympic shoes aren’t necessary but they’re functionally necessary: if you want to lift the most, in the best way, with the best effect, then you should use them.
What Shoe Brand Do Pro Weightlifters Wear the Most?
Most professional weightlifters use Nike, Adidas, or Reebok. These are the best premium weightlifting shoe builds, while some like Anta and Asics have specific popularity within different countries (China and Korea respectively).
Adidas are the most commonly seen shoes for professional weightlifters because they have the widest range of shoes and the longest production history. Adidas offers a range from entry level to super-premium, meaning that they’re the most common shoes.
Nike and other brands are getting more exposure since they released the original Romaleos, and the Savaleos are also becoming more popular.
Should I Deadlift in Weightlifting Shoes?
You should not train conventional deadlifts in your weightlifting shoes – but they’re perfect for snatch pulls and clean pulls. These are weightlifting-specific deadlifts that are used to train the positions of the classic lifts and strengthen the legs, hips, and back to lift more weight.
Weightlifting shoes are bad for conventional powerlifting-style deadlifts since they pitch your balance of weight forwards and lack the flat foot favored for heavy deadlifts. They make any deadlift more like a clean deadlift, which is not useful for most powerlifters.
Weightlifting shoes emphasize the use of the legs, which isn’t always good for deadlifting, but some powerlifters do lift in heeled shoes. This is down to personal preference but – for most people – flat shoes are best for deadlifts.
Conclusion
The best Olympic lifting shoes are the Reebok Legacy Lifter III: they offer the best compromise of quality and price that lets more people get into the Olympic lifts – or just heavy squats – with the best equipment. This lets you get more results for less money, and that’s our focus.
Alternatives like the Adidas Adipower weightlifting shoes or the Nike Romaleos can be used for super-premium training but don’t offer much more than the Legacy lifters. They’re also specific to the shape and size of your foot, while the Legacy lifter is more universally well-fitted.
You can get a cheaper choice if you’re looking for squat shoes, with brands like Inov8 and Nordic lifting offering interesting alternatives. The entry level market also includes the powerlift and PR2, which may suit your budget for a beginner weightlifter, fitness enthusiast, or Powerlifter.
Keep your needs and style of training in mind, and always focus on what you’re getting for each dollar you spend. We’ve put value for money first, and that’s put the Legacy lifter first on our list!
