adidas has a strong weightlifting heritage, with far more lifting shoes than most major brands. In our best weightlifting shoes guide we liked the Powerlift’s die-cut midsole, developed for heavy lifting, and a lightweight yet durable upper.
The lace closure plus Velcro strap gives a locked-in feel with easy adjustment. It’s the budget-friendly alternative to the Adipower.
Who it’s for: lifters wanting a stable, affordable shoe for squats and strength work.
