Customer Reviews inov-8 FastLift™ 315

I am a competitive kettlebell sport lifter. I have been using weight lifting shoes for about 4 years. These are not good shoes for lifting bells. the extension part of the lift (up on toes) is foiled by the shoe, the forefront is flexible but the fold of the cloth front is weird. I have returned the shoe. I was really hoping to love it, I wear 195's all the time for regular workouts.

As a Crossfitter, I needed a lifting shoe that could also be used in certain WODs. These have proven much better than my Reebok lifters. I don't have to worry about sacrificing the stability to switch into my regular Crossfit shoes. I purchased 1/2 size bigger than my normal inov-8 Crossfit shoes and they fit perfectly. Highly recommend.

Got these for my wife (we both CrossFit regularly). She says they fit true to size, are exceptionally stable, and the heel-lift provides enough change in angle to improve her receiving position. The color is great, she loves being the only one in the box with bright FastLifts!

I had read from the other reviews that this shoe runs a little small and so I ordered a half size larger than my normal size. I normally wear a womens 8.5 and ordered a size 9. The 9 fits me perfectly. I really like this shoe. It provides a very stable base to lift weights from. They are much more stable than running shoes. This is my first pair of weight lifting shoes and I wish I had gotten a pair a long time ago.

These are a great investment! I was suffering from plantar fasciitis lifting in my Nanos and NB vibrams. I bought these shoes and not only am I pain free, but these shoes changed the whole game. I'm more confident to clean and squat more weight now! Highly recommended! And of course Zappos rocks!

Love them. Love everything about them. They're solid enough to give the support needed for oly lifts, but not so solid that you feel awkward walking in them, like other brands. Fit is perfect. I've been using them for about a month now, and I can't imagine lifting without them.

I'm a Crossfitter as well, and these are my first pair of lifting shoes. I'm a big fan of the Inov-8 brand and have purchased several pairs of their shoes for WOD purposes and have had no problems with them. But, with the FastLifts' as others have said the toe box is kind of tight. My BF purchased my usual size 7.5, and they fit kind of snug; I ordered a size 8, and they were too loose. So, I plan to keep the 7.5 in hopes that they will break-in after a few wears. I am afraid that if I keep the 8's my heels would potentially slide out, and that's not something I want to happen, especially while lifting heavy. Also, I wished they had these in other colors, I got the pink and green, which isn't my fave but I'm gonna rock them anyway.

I love these shoes. I have been doing CrossFit for four years, and these are my first pair of lifting shoes. I sized down from my normal inov-8 shoe size, and they fit great (I purposefully wanted them more snug than I wear my regular shoes). They are light enough to do full WODs in them, but super stable for all my lifts. I wish I bought these four years ago.

These have made a huge difference in my weight lifting, kbs, and wall balls at Crossfit. I love them and the stability they offer.

I love this lifters. Great support I feel so much more grounded n centered with weight on heels. Gives me that extra support I recommend them to everyone. I wear them when lifting in Crossfit. Awesome!

Bought these for my wife for her birthday. I had purchased a pair for myself a month earlier and loved them! Awesome shoe with great support, flexibility, and keeps you stuck to the ground. PRs in my squats, and I've finally found a rhythm to my snatch that feels right. I purchased 10.5 (same as my 262s) and had to return for a 10. I bought a 7.5 for my wife (same as her Inov8s) and had to return for an 8. Not sure where the disparity is, but just buy your normal size in an inov8 shoe and be prepared to exchange them. The process took a total of 5 days from purchase of the first pair to the exchanged pair being delivered to my door, so don't worry about how long it will take. Zappos is 100% my spot to go for these kind of purchases where I am not sure sizing but don't have a store to go to try them on.

I love these shoes! I use them for crossfit both in olypmic lifting and some WODS. I've been able to do burpess, double unders, wall balls, TGU, kettle bell swings and even some running in them! and theyre super cute!

I love my lifters. Great fit, no one else at my box has the same colors! I think they've made a difference in my olympic lifts too.

These shoes are amazing! They are the most supportive lifting shoes I have owned. Doing Crossfit, these are great for lifting and some other movements as they are so flexible. I love the colors (black/green/pink)and love how comfortable they are. These are amazing shoes!!

Shipped very promptly. great color! Comfortable, but they seem to stretch a bit after wearing them a lot. I'm usually a 7 but ordered a 7.5, I have to wear thick socks with them but they still fit well, it's just the width that's a problem because I have a narrow foot. All around great shoe. Good for lifting, even work for box jumps and double unders. I wouldn't use them for running though, shin splints are not fun.

This is an excellent lifter. It's even more excellent if you also want to be able to WOD in them. Maybe someday I'll get an additional pair of "super-serious" lifting shoes, but these are perfect for me right now. These are fantastic for lifting. I feel comfortable and extremely stable in them. Then, when it's time to WOD, I can keep them on to help me out with lifts or wallball. They're practically the same weight as my nanos and the flexibility makes other people jealous. I can easily doubleunder, T2B, or even box jump in these, which is a great option to have.

This is not my first pair of lifting shoes, but they are by far my favorite! The heel is perfect for executing proper squat depth. These shoes are insanely comfortable, I literally do not want to change back into my other shoes before leaving the gym.

Great, stylish and versatile. I highly recommend these lifters to the casual crossfitter. They're great for met-cons that feature a barbell. Surprisingly light and flexible, I wear them all the time. They won't last as long as your typical lifter, but you will also be using them more. The Atlantis color is gorgeous and I get complements on them all the time. Beware if you have very wide feet, these may not be the shoes for you.

Great lifting shoes, comfortable and stylish. I wear them for my CrossFit workouts when we do a lot of lifting. I did have to order a 1/2 size up, they run a little small.

AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME! If you are looking for Oly Shoes look no further! The FastLifts are light, sturdy and not to mention probably the most attractive looking Oly Shoes I've seen. Also they don't rub the back of your ankle! I love these shoes - can't believe I ever went without them.

These shoes are absolutely amazing. I do CrossFit 4-8 times a week. I decided it was worth the money to invest in some great lifting shoes after it was suggested to me by my coach. I have awfully closed hips which keep me from squatting to my best ability. I normally have to go really wide, point my toes out a little, and my chest always falls. With these shoes, I can squat perfectly with my feet hip-width distance apart, toes pointed straight, chest up, and all the way down. I've PR-ed countless times with every lift, and I've only had them a couple weeks. Lifting, box jumps, rope climbs, burpees, rowing, etc. are all fine. These shoes are not for running or double unders so I've come to learn. Short distances are okay for running with these shoes as well as small amounts of double unders. Nothing over 400m or 100 double unders. As for size, I am a solid size 6 in every shoe I purchase. Because of that I was almost set on ordering a 6. Last minute, I decided to listen to everyone who said go a half size larger, and they couldn't have been more right. They fit perfectly! The length is perfect and the width is perfect, even for having relatively wide feet. Go a half size larger! Overall, impeccable shoes! I would recommend them to anyone. It's totally worth every cent.

These shoes are amazing for lifting. The balanced feel and solid heel pocket set you in just the right spot for powering up the weights. And they look extremely cool as well. I feel that they are true to size. I wear a 9 in most shoes and in these I did as well.

These are my first pair of OLY shoes. I read reviews on many websites before finally making the decision to buy them, and I hesitated a bit considering everyone seemed to say to order half a size bigger, and some other people said they were true to size. I ordered my size 9, and they fit like a glove! I did a heavy singles day the first time wearing them, and I love them. They hug my heel like no other shoe I own, are very stable yet more flexible than a "true" OLY shoe, which makes them perfect for Crossfit. They are also my first INOV8 pair of shoes, and I will certainly try different shoes of this brand in the near future.

I love these lifting shoes. They are exactly what you need for crossfit Olympic lifting. I wore these during a competition and they helped with my squats tremendously. They fit true to size.

Bought these for my wife, who is a crossfit fanatic. She loves these shoes, you would have thought I bought her diamonds. She broke her personal record lifts by 10 lbs fist time she used them.
