There are two main functions high top weightlifting shoes<\/strong> must fulfill. First, upward force must be effectively transferred through them to the lifting platform. And second, they must help you maintain control of your feet throughout the lift; which is done largely through lateral support. Some lifters require extra support for their ankles as well. High top lifting shoes can provide that additional support. Here are three that do so effectively.<\/p>\n The Reebok Men’s Lifter PR Cross Trainer<\/a> delivers the ideal platform for lifting in the gym. A heat activated foot wrap molds to you for a customized fit with absolutely no break-in time. Reebok’s trademark high build quality is evident throughout<\/strong> and produces enhanced stability from ankle to sole where a multi-surface grip pattern allows you to dig into any surface. Other features include:<\/p>\n Sabo deadlift shoes<\/a> have also proven their mettle during squats and for 2015 feature an array of technical enhancements. Their high cut provides additional ankle support during extreme lifts and their robust metatarsal strap<\/strong> will keep you glued to the floor where you want to be. Sabo has decided to keep the entire focus of the shoe on powerlifting and as a result, has produced one of the best shoes on the market for that particular purpose. Features include:<\/p>\n The Titan Olympian<\/a> was recently redesigned and now sports the wider toe box that is becoming increasingly popular among Oly lifters who believe it provides for more<\/strong> natural forefoot behavior when under extreme pressure.<\/strong> Visually the shoe retains the simple, all-business design ethos of earlier models which many traditionalists will no doubt appreciate. At $250 you would expect a shoe that delivers outstanding performance and the Olympian is surely that.

As a result, you n more accurately direct your lifting force where it needs to go.<\/p>\n The Nordic Lifting Men’s Powerlifting Shoes<\/a> provides you with a sturdy velcro strap long with excellent stitching and lacing. As a result, the shoe will remain intact even when under immense pressure for extended periods of time.<\/strong> Open forefoot premium quality mesh allow for breathability and moisture wicking.
