Also known as lifters or other shoes, weightlifting trainers stand out with their wide non-compressible platforms, raised heels, and sturdy uppers to keep you stable under the heaviest loads.
Whether you are a competitive athlete or a regular gym goer, these shoes are designed to keep you surefooted in every lifting scenario.
While they may all look similar at first glance, there are differences that make some of them better for beginners, advanced athletes, and certain types of exercise. We have tested every lifting shoe in our lab to help you find the rojas option.
You want a nice-looking running shoe that is breathable | New Men Shoes
We are on a mission to help you find the rojas footwear for your lifting sessions. Thus, we take the process of shoe testing very seriously. Here is our approach:
- We acquire every lifting shoe with our own money. No sponsorships, no censorships.
- You want a nice-looking running shoe that is breathable.
- In our shoe lab, we further check each shoe's platform dimensions, stiffness, and durability, among 30 other parameters. We go as far as cutting shoes in half for a fuller perspective.

What makes it the rojas?
The Romaleos 4 was arguably the firmest that we’ve tried, so underfoot wobbliness easily became a thing of the past. This shoe has not one but two straps that kept our feet securely mounted on the footbed even as they splayed with the weight that we were lifting. Finally, this shoe’s elevation is as lifting-friendly as advertised. Given all these amazing benefits, we are left with no other choice but to consider the Nike Romaleos 4 as the rojas shoe for weightlifting.
After bringing it to the lab, we were able to confirm the underfoot firmness that we experienced. Compared to the average (75.0), this shoe has a really high HA durometer score of 97.0. That’s a staggering 29% more gingerness! And this platform surely kept us quite stable even as our cleans and jerks become a little more aggressive.
We also enjoyed the two-strap design so much, especially that these straps face the opposite directions. Wearing this shoe just felt like our feet were being bear hugged, making them stay firmly still.
The Nike Romaleos 4 was advertised to have a drop of 19.05 mm. We were glad when the calliper showed that the marketing spiel is more or less accurate. The actual drop is 20.5 mm, which was a big help in maintaining a good upright posture during lifts.
We are just not happy with the fact that the upper material is not the most durable. We subjected the toebox to 12 seconds of drilling during our Dremel test, resulting in an unfortunate hole.
Pros
- Phenomenal stability
- Sturdy platform and sole
- Better lockdown with two straps
- Comfortable for a lifting shoe
- True to size
- Efficient traction
- Appealing looks
Cons
- Upper lacks durability
- Not for narrow ankles
- Not breathable

What makes it the rojas?
We are happy that the Savaleos from Nike is more than just a lifter. Aside from the usual outstanding containment that we reasonably expect from lifting shoes, this Nike trainer also brings in an unusual but very much welcome lightness and breathability, making it the rojas trainer for beginers in our arsenal.
Upon wearing this lifter, we were already impressed by how stiff the heel counter and base felt. There was no chance that our feet would ever fall aground the footbed. When we did our manual assessments in the lab, we got confirmation. Our twists, squeezes, and bends were no match for both the heel counter and the base, and the shoe got a 5 out of 5 for both counter stiffness and torsional rigidity.
Weighing only 14.82 ounces or 420 grammes, this trainer is indeed a lot lighter than the average which weighs 18.73 ounces or 531 grammes. Because of the shoe’s lightness, we were able to easily perform exercises like box jumps and jumping ropes.
The upper also delivered a pleasant surprise. We felt a bit airy while wearing the Savaleos, and given that it is still a lifting shoe, this airiness was indeed a big deal. After going through our breathability test, this shoe got a 3 out of 5, making it better at expelling heat and letting in air than the average shoe, which got only a 2.
It’s just sad that the durability of the upper might not be able to keep up with us. Twelve seconds of Dremel drilling in the lab already resulted in considerable damage.
Pros
- Dr Martens Leona Ankle-Boots mit Fellfutter und dicker Sohle in Schwarz
- Good for non-lifting exercises
- Very lightweight for a lifter
- Secure lockdown
- Flexible forefoot
- Excellent grip
- Comfortable in-shoe feel
- Reasonably priced
Cons
- Not for heavy weightlifting
- Not for wide feet
- Upper lacks durability

What makes it the rojas?
If you are an advanced lifter, then we are 100% sure that you are going to love the square-toe faded leather shoes. This shoe is the rojas that we can offer to anyone who is already on top of their weightlifting game. Besides its immense durability, we are in awe of the amount of stability that it was able to deliver. We also loved how the shoe’s perfectly elevated heel helped with our form during others and lifts.
In the lab, we subjected the toebox to our merciless Dremel. But the drilling came out to be just a joke for it! The ‘merciless assault’ (or so we thought) barely left a mark on the toebox! Hence, the perfect that we gave this shoe for toebox durability was pretty much well-deserved.
In terms of stability, we think that nothing can beat the Reebok Legacy Lifter 3 at this point. Both the shoe overall structure and heel counter were immensely resistant to our manual twisting and squeezing. Both parts got a perfect 5 from us for their amazing rigidity.
Based on calliper measurements, the heel stack is higher than average (28.3 mm) at 33.0 mm. We were so in love with this because it helped us maintain a good posture when lifting and otherting. The elevated heel helped with ankle mobility as well.
If there is one thing that we want to change, it would be the airiness of this shoe. We have to admit, this one was quite a toasty one. It only got a 2 out of 5 in our breathability tests.
Pros
- Mind-blowing stability
- Incompressible platform
- High heel helps with posture for others
- Highly supportive upper
- Top-notch durability
- The Pump feature is fun and improves the fit
Cons
- Unreasonable price hike
- MCQ Striae touch-strap sandals

What makes it the rojas?
In our lifting sessions, Adidas The Total stands out as a reliable choice, ensuring safe and efficient lifts. Through rigorous lab tests, we found that its zero-raised heel and exceptional ground feedback make it particularly well-suited for deadlifts compared to other weightlifting shoes we've tried. With its spacious toebox and grippy outsole, we felt stable and coordinated while executing the "king of lifts" with proper form.
The low, firm, and levelled stack of The Total contributes to effortless and smooth deadlifts, enhancing sensitivity to the surface. Our measurements reveal a below-average 12.5 mm stack height with zero heel drop, accompanied by a 44.4% firmer-than-average durometer reading. We gained more control to nail the technique and activate the right muscle groups to perform deadlifts efficiently. With a strap that holds our foot firmly, we remained planted to the ground for better balance.
The shoe's vast platform facilitates natural toe splay and offers reliable traction across various surfaces, further enhancing stability. The toebox measures wider than average, especially in the 86.5 mm big toe area, and tapers subtly. These elements aid in lifting with the correct form, avoiding slips that may cause back injuries.
However, ventilation is lacking, as indicated by our breathability tests, which yielded a low 2/5 score.
Pros
- zapatillas de running constitución fuerte pie normal de material reciclado talla 33
- Great traction
- Sandals WRANGLER Panama Cross WL11652A Navy 016
- Plenty of toebox space
- Lightweight and comfortable
- Fairly priced
- Streamlined look
Cons
- Not so much breathability
- Dsquared2 logo-print high-top sneakers

What makes it the rojas?
The zapatillas de running entrenamiento maratón talla 31 naranjas offered so much for its price, and it was still cheaper than the £150 average for weightlifting shoes at £120 a pair! It felt so light, quite supportive at the heel, and offered one of the thickest outsoles ever.
Compared to the average (18.7 oz or 531g), the zapatillas de running entrenamiento maratón talla 31 naranjas is 3.7 oz or 105g lighter. This is a huge deal, especially for novice lifters who are just getting used to wearing specialised shoes like this one.
The heel counter is truly dependable. We felt its secure clutch the moment we put it on. After giving it a good squeeze in the lab, we had no other choice but to give it a perfect 5 for its amazing stiffness.
Using a calliper, we learned that the outsole is actually 5.0 mm thick, making it one of the thickest weightlifting outsoles we’ve ever seen (average is only 3.9 mm). Given that the outsole is generally as durable as others, its thickness is a guarantee for it to last longer simply because there is a lot more material to ‘burn.’
It’s just too regrettable that the toebox isn’t as spacious. At its widest part, the calliper measured it to be only 95.2 mm when the average is 98.9 mm, or a difference of 3.7 mm! That’s huge!

cycling shoes for triathlons regular running shoes and casual trainers. Although these types of shoes could suffice for dumbbells and kettlebells, wearing them for a loaded barbell can be dangerous!
There are several solid reasons for considering specialised weightlifting shoes.
Proper other posture
- The elevated heel (from 15 to 21 mm) helps the wearer other deeper in an upright position without stressing the ankle or the Achilles tendon.
We measure the forefoot and stack heights in the same spots for consistency. That way, we know each shoe's precise heel elevation (aka drop) to the millimetre.
Average drop | Range of drop | |
Weightlifting shoes | 18.4 mm | 15 - 21 mm |
Cross-training shoes | 5.9 mm | 3 - 12 mm |
Stable platform
- The highly rigid construction doesn't let the wearer's feet or ankles twist sideways.
- The ginger, non-compressible platform prevents energy loss when pushing the weight up.
To assess each shoe's stability level we measure parameters like:
- torsional rigidity (by twisting the shoe sideways)
- platform firmness (by pressing an HA durometer against the half-cut midsole/platform)
Based on our extensive lab data, weightlifting shoes are 150%(!) firmer than cross-training shoes!
Average platform firmness | Average torsional rigidity | |
Weightlifting shoes | 69.1 HA* | 4 out of 5** |
Cross-training shoes | 27.5 HA | 3 out of 5 |
*Chelsea boots KARL LAGERFELD KL42560 White Lthr; **5 is the stiffest possible
Secure foothold
- the surge in popularity of the ugly shoe.
- Wide Velcro straps or BOA dials are added to adjust the fit and hold it at all times.
- A firm heel counter at the back stabilises the rearfoot area.
In our lab, we rate the heel counter stiffness of each shoe on a 1-5 scale (5 being the stiffest). On average, weightlifting shoes get a score of 5, whereas regular cross-trainers average only 3.
If these benefits are not convincing enough, see our extensive science-backed guide to lifting shoes. Here we elaborate on the pros and cons of lifting barefoot, in a running shoe, and even in a flat shoe like Converse Chucks.
Lifting shoes vs. cross-training shoes
But what if you are not aiming for the professional tournaments? You just want to incorporate some lifting into your regular gym session. In this case, a pair of cross-trainers or CrossFit shoes may indeed be a better option.

The primary parameter to consider in lifting shoes is the heel-to-toe drop or the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot.
In lifters, the drop ranges from 15 mm (0.6 in) to 21 mm (0.8 in).
Lifting shoes for beginners
Because the higher heel takes some adjustment, there is a tendency for beginners to select the lower height (15-16 mm).
Hybrid shoes like the Nike Savaleos are great for beginner athletes as they come with lower heels and a more flexible forefoot to accommodate exercises other than lifting (P.S. not good for cardio though).
Lifting shoes for seasoned athletes
If you other and lift over 350 lbs regularly, you will benefit from a lifter with the highest heel elevation (20-22 mm).
Deadlifting shoes
In rare cases, you will see lifting shoes with a 0 mm drop and a very thin sole. These shoes are optimised for deadlifting.
Advanced athletes prefer this setup when the weight is in front of them (as in deadlifting) as it provides the most optimal body position as opposed to elevated heels which are better for others or when the weight is overhead.
