Customer Reviews adidas Powerlift 3.1

These are great shoes for lifting, especially for heavy squats. The solid sole provides excellent energy transfer, no force is wasted squishing the sole. The 3/4" heel lift puts you in great position for balanced squats, especially low-bar "Rippetoe" squats. I have wide feet, and usually wear a 13 2E or 4E. I bought these in a 13.5 D and they fit well. There is ample width, and good solid arch support. A likely unintentional benefit, the Adidias 3 stripes on the side are great to help line up your feet to the bar on deadlifts.

Awesome!

Great fit and performance

I'm very well satisfy with these compare to the other ones. U should go after the manufactory about the way they tore apart on me. Just tell them. U will do your bussines else where. Thank U for your service. Happy Holidays. Don't eat too MUCH

Fit well. Great support. Makes a big difference when lifting versus wearing running shoes.

This shoe fit well out of the box, which is rare for lifting shoes that usually need a little break in period. Very well-stitched all around and the lacing/velcro system allows for dialing in a perfect feel every lift. That can be important if you don't always hit the gym the same time of the day - feet tend to be a little fatter or swollen in the evening compared to a morning lift. Great looking shoe all around. I don't think it attracts nearly as much attention as a previous brand I won't mention because it was also a good shoe...just a little too 'hey, I'm a lifter, look at me!' for my preference.

Bought these shoes weightlifting so I could get deeper into my squats. My feet feel stable and supported at the bottom of my squats and the small heel raise helps keep my feet completely connected to the floor. And as far as weightlifting shoes go, they are pretty stylish and a great price. Very happy with my purchase!

As other's have said, it feels about a half size too small. As someone who wears a 15 or 16 usually, I've learned I can't complain too much about this. And after just one workout, I think I broke them in enough to fit perfectly. It is the toe box that gets a tad tight. But maybe snug is better than not with this type of shoe. S Style wise, they look great, I got the black ones, and they look very cool without clashing with many of my workout gear. Performance was great, these were my first pair of weightlifting shoes, and it already makes a huge difference in OHP, squats, and bent over rows!

love the look, just to narrow for a d width shoe
