adidas Men's Adipower Weightlifting III Shoe

These shoes have an elevated heel that make it easier to squat with proper form for those that have poor ankle mobility. The outer soles are very solid and not compressible which provide supreme stability over other shoes that have cushion when you are squatting. I was initially worried that these shoes would be too tight since my foot is wide but they actually fit very well. They are easy to put on and after you tighten and tie the laces the Velcro step further secures your foot and helps hold everything in place. I have some adidas running shoes so I went with the same size I wear in those and these fit perfectly. The materials seem like they are of good quality and although I’ve only used them a few times I feel that they will hold up to lots of use at the gym. I will say that don’t expect these shoes to feel natural as you’re walking around the gym because they feel rather stiff. They’re not supposed to be very flexible. The point is to keep your foot in a locked position so you get optimal transfer through your squats or other exercises. I don’t like flashy shoes so I opted for the traditional black with white stripes. The adipower III seem to have an upgraded outer sole which will make cleaning them much easier since dirt and debris won’t get stuck in any air spaces like the original adipower shoes. Price point is a little higher than I wanted to pay but they are a professional grade Olympic shoe and this is expected. I don’t have any cons at this point but if I do I’ll be back to update my review. I would say if you’re a serious lifter then these shoes would definitely be worth a try. If they hold up well I don’t think I’ll explore any other brand of Olympic weightlifter shoe.

Build quality looks and feels great. Very aesthetically pleasing color way. I bought my normal size, and it fit pretty good. I do have normal width feet, and it is a little snug at the toes, but it doesn’t bother me at all. If you’re unsure if you’d like/need Olympic weightlifting shoes, I’d probably choose a cheaper model/brand or even squat with something wedged under your heels first, as these are pretty pricy compared to its competitors. Although if you’re confident that you’d like heeled shoes, and you do not have wide feet, the performance of these shoes are amazing.

I purchased as a birthday gift for my college son. He is into weightlifting and asked for weightlifting shoes. He wears a size 12 normally and has a medium to narrower foot and the reviews say this shoe would fit him best as not recommended for wide feet. He has only used them twice so far (supposedly you only put them on in the gym when squatting). He said he really like them.

Great lifting shoe. If you struggle with ankle mobility, this shoe is a great option. 4 stars instead of 5 because it is a very narrow shoe. Almost on the edge of too narrow. I think it will loosen up as I continue lifting with them.

I'll cut to the chase: -The sole arc support on these feels amazing, almost like a foot massage every time I first step in them -For bigger shoe sizes, the strap gets a bit long compared to the shoe itself (to the point where the end of it touches the ground) but this can be fixed by using some spare Velcro wrap-around instead of cutting that extra slack off. -The raise heel stack height is nice to get a deeper stretch, and if you follow Jeff Nippard on YouTube or any other person that's delved into "long-length partials" as an exercise technique for better growth, you'll see the value in this. Not sure how these compare to other brands but they sure met my expectations. But I do recommend sizing up, these seem to run a little small.

I wear women's size 9 in most athletic shoes (except Nike, I have Nike in every W size from 8-9.5). And usually that translates into size 6.5 or 7 men's for me. So these shoes being 9 women's and 8 men's already seemed odd. But I went with my usual women's 9 despite all the comments saying you need to size up because my feet are def not wide. The 9 fit width wise but was too long and bent at the toe in a weird way/place so I had to return. Also didn't like the laces, they were super thin/stringy and long.

Provides excellent grip and stability.

Very comfy shoes helped with my squat

Eccezionali! Inutili per qualunque altra cosa che sia sollevare pesi. Anche per una passeggiata sul tapis roulant sono fastidiose. Ma stacchi, squat, belt squat, hack squat... Un altro livello! Mai una incertezza o instabilità sulle caviglie come con le normali scarpe da running. Piedi stabili come saldati al terreno. Zero fastidio alle ginocchia. Spero durino a lungo, ma sicuramente le ricomprerò! Questo colore dal vivo è ancora più osceno che in foto, ma costavano 100 euro in più (220 euro) per avere un colore decente (nero). Per cui visto l'uso esclusivo in palestra va benissimo!🤣

Los tenis son una maravilla, lo malo es la descripción que no corresponde con los tamaños descritos, la caja llegó demasiado rota y el proceso de devolución van 3 semanas y no han realizado la devolución.

My friend asked for a pair of these trainers that he has had before in size 9 The size 9 i received and sent to him for Christmas is far too small ? Plus the wait for delivery is a couple of weeks long The trainers that arrived, arrived in a very damaged box too and due to the long delivery time I couldn’t send back because i needed for a Christmas present

Os tênis são excelentes em conforto e desempenho, mas há um problema sério com a cor. Comprei na opção “PRETA”, mas eles são claramente ROXOS. Não foi um erro de envio — recebi exatamente o modelo que escolhi. O problema está na nomenclatura oficial da cor: “Black Aurora”. Esse nome induz o consumidor ao erro, pois sugere um tom preto, reforçado ainda pela foto do produto, quando na verdade a cor predominante é roxa. Eu não teria escolhido essa cor se tivesse visto o produto pessoalmente. The shoes are excellent in terms of comfort and performance, but there is a serious issue with the color. I ordered the “BLACK” option, but the shoes are clearly PURPLE. This was not a shipping error — I received exactly the model I selected. The problem lies in the official color name: “Black Aurora.” This name misleads customers, as it suggests a black tone (reinforced by the product photo), when in fact the dominant color is purple. I would not have chosen this color if I had seen the product in person.

Sehr guter Gewichtheberschuh. Eher frisch für schmale Füße.
