Powerlifting Footwear

We recommend wearing the right shoes for your deadlifts and squats. Besides powerlifting you can also use deadlift slippers, squat shoes and powerlifting footwear for bodybuilding, strong men/women, and other strength sports.

A squat shoe is designed to allow you to lift upright and squat deep. The heel of the shoe is slightly elevated, his helps with ankle dorsiflexion and depth of your lift. Because of the heel elevation you can put full force through your ankle which helps to create a more powerful squat.

Deadlift slippers are the ideal footwear for deadlifting. In the deadlift, you want your feet as flat and close to the ground as possible to maximize force transfer and stability. That’s why many lifters prefer going barefoot.

However, barefoot lifting is not allowed in most gyms or powerlifting competitions. That’s where deadlift slippers come in—they give you the barefoot feel with added grip and competition compliance. The ultra-thin sole keeps you grounded, while the non-slip base ensures stability on every pull.

Just like squat shoes help you drive through your heels, deadlift slippers help you stay tight and explosive from the floor—so you can lift heavier, more efficiently.
