Branded weight lifting shoes

[Red Hook]

Why not use/buy regular sneakers on sales or from the outlet mall...   

I am guessing that these are geared toward the cross fit demographic.

Stability and Support
With state-of-the-art weightlifting technology, the new fastlift™ delivers stability, support and structure in the heel and midfoot. The External Heel Cage (EHC) and Power-Truss system create strength for lifts without unnecessary weight.

Enahnced Functionality
Given the rigid nature of weightlifting shoes, there is often a need to change shoes to complete workouts beyond weightlifting. The fastlift™ utilises inov-8’s Meta-Flex™ system to enhance flexibility and comfort in the forefoot and features a sticky rubber outsole with indentations for added grip - all while coming in as the lightest product of its kind. With the new fastlift™ shoes, athletes can finish a WOD (workout of the day) without switching footwear.

Sticky™ Compound
Inov-8’s Sticky™ compound has been specially developed using climbing rubber technology. This rubber optimises grip in wet conditions, however the trade-off is it wears down quicker.

I train barefoot but I use some of their products for adventure racing... Never understood the value of fancy footwear to lift weights.

Innov8 shoes are ok for minimalist shoes without that individual toe retardation.

Yeah, that brand got its big push from Crossfit and a few running sites. That being said, that particular model is meant for Olympic Lifting, and there really aren't too many standard shoes that can fit that roll decently(high heel, hard sole), unless you go with leather soled dress shoes or work boots.

Reebok has their Crossfit lifting line. And nike has a line as well. Odd how Reebok endorses Crossfit, yet Phil Heath can't get an sneaker endorsement.

I've got a pair of Olympic lifting shoes specifically for squats. They have just the right amount of heel and they make your feet feel glued to the floor. They're great for their intended purpose plus they make you look hardcorer and badasser and like you know what you're doing. Women can't get enough of them.

I've yet to see a pair of Oly shoes that didn't look 100% like retarded clown shoes. So I am doubting the veracity of your wimmins comment.

Phil Heath brings zero value to branding and marketing... 


I would go and sign JJ Watts or Odel Beckahm

Adidas sambas do the job just as good as any other shoe, I've had the same pair for the last 5 years or so and they only cost about £40.

Grabbed Reebok Crossfit 4. Much better than any other sneakers I've worked out in.

[ritch]

They look better than the ever so douchey high tops guys are wearing now. (atomix) like anyone needs fuckin shoes that lace up so high. Idiots, fashion victims fuck all of you.

[drkaje]

Is anything a bigger statement of douchebaggery than combat boots?

If worn with cut off jean shorts and flanel cut off sleeves, it passes.
Sun glasses to enhance the look could be an added feature as well.

[wes]

Not too many people in todays gyms need a fucking weightlifting shoe.

[The Scott]

As a yoot I would train in either Keds deck shoes or steel toe boots.

People know you're hard core!!

Never know, could make all the difference when the kids are doing lateral raises with 12.5lbs. Perhaps on that given day with the correct angle in the heal, they would knock out some hard core reps with the 15's!?

I believe...

What about branded workout gear?

Every brand is a brand, lol...

Saw a dipshit yesteray all decked up with his spiderman tights under his shorts, thermo top long sleeve shirt, all for what???

Doing nothing but pussy movements at 0 intensity, oh please!!!

The worst is these morons with skull caps yet everything else is "breathable" wear.

Fuck everyone who wears a skull cap in the gym or a hood. If you're not sweating your balls off with a skull cap you train like a total pussy.

The end.

[drkaje]

You don't love seeing all the fatasses in UnderArmor.

Those shirts make people look exactly like an extra on the set of Star TRek.

Imbeciles, every single one of them.

despite what I said earlier about going to my open gym I thought better of it today because it will have too many new idiots, especially with school kids being off, might run into some "double deadlifters"

My gym oddly does not get a bunch of those people every New Year.
