Men · Weightlifting · Shoes Frequently Asked Questions
Should I wear lifting shoes for deadlifts?
It’s generally advised not to perform deadlifts in weightlifting shoes that are intended for squats, as the raised heel will increase the range of motion and the load on your quads. Specialist deadlifting shoes are available.
Can you run in weightlifting shoes?
You should not run in weightlifting shoes, because they don’t have the necessary cushioning or grip, and will also wear out quickly.
Why do weightlifting shoes have a raised heel?
A raised heel provides a deeper squatting position, improves ankle mobility, and helps your torso remain more upright during lifts.
