    These look like a bargain, got a pair for my first lifting shoe.

    Add them to your basket and type Extra20 in the promo for a further 20% off.

    Great bargain. Been looking at a few reviews and all in they seem to be a great pair of lifters. For 55 quid its a no brainer. If you dont like them just stick them on ebay.

    Thanks op, i look forward to the crushing defeat when i throw an extra 10 kg on the bar and realise my lifters wont squat for me!! :D

    Also there's free returns if they don't fit.
    I can't wait for mine.

    I can never get past the "Delivery Address" age when I try to checkout. Anyone else get that or am I missing something obvious?

    Powerlifts would be better shoe if you're going to be squatting as well:

    Size 12.5 and 13 only at this price.
    I was looking at these but at €100.

    Ah. I had originally seen it maybe 2 weeks back for a whole range of sizes when I had to withstand the urge to buy. But I only saw this thread now

    Are they unisex?

    Actually I saw a review here where they seem to compare reasonably well with the adipowers and are pretty similar height/firmness wise to the powerlifts:

    The upper isnt as firm, which would possibly be an issue for me though not necessarily for everyone.

    Same shoes but different colours when you filter by gender. But no different.

    Bare feet not better and cheaper?

    Just watching a vid last week by Mark Rippetoe who said you have to use lifting shoes and not to lift barefoot

    Most gyms won't allow this.

    Are these shoes just designed for weight training

    Promo code expired!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,723 ✭✭✭Phil.x


    I got mine today, really good quality.

    It's a little tight in the toe's compared to my work boots, but after reading up about weightlifting shoe's most say they should be snug fitting to stop your feet sliding.

    I haven't used them in anger yet, but done a few body weight squats and I get a big positive feel from them, easier to sink your hips lower.

    I am size 9 in a regular shoe, would you go a size up?


  • Registered Users Posts: 71 ✭✭ckeng


    I'm am 8.5 to a 9 in regular shoes, depending on who's making them. I went with an 8.5 in these and they're just a little too tight - as in sending them back and ordering a 9 instead.

    Mine just on the tight side as well but reckon they might be ok with a bit of wear, that and Adidas dont exchange sizes, they refund and now they are more expensive...I should have just ordered two different sizes at the time

    @Omega28 Id go up a half a size, you dont want them loose either

    Even cheaper right now, with promo code 'friends' taking the price down to €52

    They actually said that if i return the shoes they'll also reset the voucher so I could get the original extra 20% discount on a new order. I just didn't fancy the wait for all the processing. Might have to cancel the 9s and try out this friends code now though.

    Cheers Alf just got these for €30. Shame they are orange but they'll do the job once I renew the gym membership!!

    I've measured my feet they way they say and I'm exactly a size 11.

    I've tried them on again and it kind of feels like my big toe is suffocating, I might go for the 11.5 but I don't want these loose and feet sliding in them......humm what to do.

    They will be for squatting only and maybe deadlifts.
