Why Weightlifting Shoes - Tabata Times
My preference from best to worst:
- Nike Romaleo 2 - the best on the market for weightlifting, but they are an investment at $190. With the 2 they made significant improvements with the weight of the shoe.
- Inov-8 Fast Lift 335 - the best hybrid lifting shoe for multiple-element workouts (like today!). Light, powerful, and with a forefoot flexible enough for short runs. Great mid-level shoe priced at $150
- Adidas Adipower - similar to the Romaleo. If you're a fan of the brand and their other shoes these might fit better than the Nikes. $199
- Rogue Weightlifting Shoe - best economy shoe (.5" heel), good for wider feet, and only $120
- 2013 Pendlay Weightlifting Shoe - another great economy shoe (see here)
- Adidas PowerLift Trainer 1 & 2 - not a fan of the fit or the foam heel, but affordable around $99. If you're going to invest in a shoe, don't go cheap. Wait and save until you can get a better shoe.
- Reebok CrossFit OLY Lifter - not a fan of the materials, fit, or the sole. At first this was the only hybrid on the market so it was the only recommendation I could give. It's not a terrible shoe, but with the arrival (and price match of $150) of the Inov-8 Fast Lift I can't help but suggest anything else.
If you're in the market for weightlifting shoes try
Rogue Fitness. There's also Born to Run near REI- local but they only carry the Inov-8 Fast Lift and Reebok OLY Lifter. Remember: wear one of our shirts and receive a 20% discount.
