Sabo Deadlift Shoes

赤色を注文したのですが、 黒のシューズが届きました。 履いた感じは結構いいです。 このまま使います。

Fits just right and as expected. Nearly perfect function. Pros: Very stable platform and thin sole. Good grip on lifting surface. Comfortable and secure. Absolutely would recommend to others. Cons: Upper material may not last a long time; would pay more for leather (very minor con). Not many sizes and colors available; there does not seem to be a large selection from the seller. To be seen: Durability; elastic strap at the top of the shoe may wear out within a short time. Upper material seems thin but this may not be an issue if it turns out to be durable over time. May need to replace yearly.

Flat bottom with some sole traction. No arch support and the toe box is fairly narrow. If your feet are wide or have a wide toe box, the true size will probably be tight for your feet. Other than the toe box, pretty comfortable to work out/lift weights in but definitely not for running.

I love deadlifting in socked feet because it makes me more conscious of my three point contact with the ground and how I am pressing through my heels as I deadlift. I normally wore my Chucks in the gym and during my competitions. Until now... these shoes are as close to going in socked feet as I've ever experienced. I can feel the ground and can consciously press through my heels being very conscious of form throughout my lift. I love these shoes. They'll last forever as I only wear them in the gym whilst deadlifting - like I only wear my lift shoes during my squats on leg days. It's a great investment in self and in a good shoe in my honest opinion. I'm very happy with my purchase.

This is my second pair of Sabo DL shoes. I wear them for deadlift and back squat, and any lift I need to have my weight back on my heels (bent over rows, etc). I love them and they feel well made, but this iteration fits smaller than the pair I bought three years ago; it's not to the point that I can't use them, though. I feel very stable in these whether warming up or pushing 450+ parallel squats. I prefer these for back squats compared to any other shoe that I've used, including oly ones like Fastlifts and, in my clueless days, Chucks. If you have decent ankle mobility, give these a shot for squats.
