SABO Deadlift Shoes - Grey/Black

Product Information

The tread grips all surfaces pretty well and if you’re a competitive powerlifter then you won’t have to stress your shoes slipping on the carpet your powerlifting federation is using. The medial and lateral side walls are awesome additions here, too. For my sumo-focused friends, when finding a perfect pair of shoes for your pulling style, you’ll want to consider the sole of the shoe and lateral upper and sole construction. If you’re trying to save on a pair of shoes for deadlifts, then I would also highly suggest looking at something like a deadlift slipper. Wait, slippers, what? Yup!

For example, the outsole tread in this shoe is aggressive which is awesome for all types of deadlifts. Whether you’re pulling sumo with a wide stance or conventional, you shouldn’t have slip issues in this model even on a meet’s competition carpet.Powerlifting shoes, in addition to the high top design, have a sturdy sole and a wide heel, which helps to spread weight evenly across the foot and reduces the risk of ankle rolling or twisting. This provides additional ankle support and stability during the lift, allowing you to keep proper form and technique. In addition to providing metatarsal support, the metatarsal strap indirectly contributes to “side support” because it makes the sides of the shoes tauter when the strap is tightly secured. I’ll discuss side support in detail in the following section. The shoes’ unique construction is achieved thanks to the SuperFabric Guard plates on the mesh base layer. They can stand the test of time and endure heavy loads. Well, not really. After all, you’re not lifting your feet up when you’re deadlifting. However, the lightweight factor is beneficial for any other lift that does involve taking a step. Plus, it just feels great! Even if you’re just walking around the gym, you feel faster and more athletic. It’s like you’re wearing shoes (foot and ankle support, foot protection) and not wearing shoes (lightweight, low to the floor) at the same time. Designed for Deadlifts But Not Just for Deadlifts

Although Asics Matflex shoes are designed for wrestling, they have been a favorite in the deadlifting community for a long time. So are wrestling shoes good for deadlifts? Let’s find out! Place your foot on the paper - with your heel and longest toe centered on the line. We recommend standing as this will spread your foot out for a more accurate measurement. The material that goes into making the outsole is among the most important things to care about, as it impacts many of the following aspects. Although barefoot deadlifting is a bit impractical, it has a lot of excellent qualities that shoemakers are aware of. That’s why there are many attempts to combine the best of both worlds.

Many lifters don't realize that a key part of deadlifting technique is reducing your range of motion. This requires a specific type of shoe that places your foot as close to the ground as possible. The difference between how much you can tighten the metatarsal strap vs. the ankle strap is night and day. Of course, you wouldn’t want to be able to tighten the ankle strap anywhere near as tight, since your feet might fall asleep from reduced circulation! I mention the difference only for comparison’s sake. Pros: affordable, relatively flat sole, tight fitting, good comfort for longer training sessions, versatile. The SABO Deadlift Shoes have a 0 millimeter “heel to toe drop,” which is as flat as you can get. Your foot is completely parallel to the floor. Zero drop is ideal for the vast majority of deadlifters because:
