Olympic Lifting Shoes

If you’re shopping around for the best Olympic lifting shoes, look no further.  The editors of this site have used and abused a lot of different Olympic lifting shoes, and only a couple pairs stood above the rest.

The 2011 Pendlay Shoes are made for Olympic lifting and weight lifting. They make it easier to get deeper in your squats if you are using them for traditional lifting, while still maintaining great posture. The biggest thing I noticed was when I did squat cleans, over head squats and snatches, is that I was able to maintain a much better chest up position that made moving heavier weights a lot easier.

If you know anything about Olympic lifting, you know these Olympic lifting shoes have been around for a long time. I know several people who own these and I have never heard a single person complain about them, or have them fall apart. They come with the ideal 3/4 inch height in the heel which is key to the design of Olympic lifting shoes. Also, make sure to knock off a 1/2 size off your regular shoe size when ordering. They come in all sorts of colors too, if you don’t like the ones pictured
