Why we picked it

Olympic weightlifters and squat-focused lifters who want the most stable, highest-heel shoe from a major brand

What to know before you buy

Narrow toe box and a stiff, lifting-only design; it is useless for running or HIIT

Key specs

  • 22 mm raised heel (0.86 in) for Olympic lifts and deep squats
  • High-density TPU midsole with full rubber outsole for a rigid, non-compressing platform
  • Midfoot Velcro strap with metal loop plus laces for lockdown
  • Ripstop textile upper (50% recycled) with perforated toe for airflow
  • Weight approx. 17.6 oz per shoe (men’s US 10)
  • Fit: true to size in length for narrow/neutral feet; toe box runs narrow, wide-footed lifters should size up half or look elsewhere
