The original Adipower was a firm favourite with weightlifters for years, and the line has kept that reputation. In our best weightlifting shoes guide we liked the Adipower 2’s stability and its flexible forefoot, which opened up more types of training than a traditional lifter.

The Adipower Weightlifting III continues with a rigid sole, an accurate raised heel and a single-strap system to lock the foot down for squats, cleans and snatches.

Who it’s for: athletes and lifters who regularly squat and perform Olympic lifts.
