Adidas Adistar - The cadillac of Weightlifting shoes

Take a look at these shoes. They are good looking and the most effective shoe on the market today.





This is the shoe that has clearly had the most research and development done into the sport and have been deliberately engineered with training and competition in mind. The first time I used these shoes to do a work out in I felt it right away, it was night and day. The quality is fantastic I have seen these last for 3+ Years since they hit the market, and for a pair of shoes that get SO much abuse that is fantastic. The leather is genuine and will never rip. Huge bonus right there. The heel is tall, but not too tall ( they are all 0.75 inch heel ) and flexibility is great without compromising stability. The strap grabs the midfoot nicely and its easy to take the shoes on and off. Great shoes for long time lifters who are looking to get shoes that will help them and not hinder their performance.


The downside is.....the price. In my opinion, as great as they are, they are still too expensive. It's just a pair of shoes adidas....getting them on sale or at a discount (or atleast free shipping!) is really the only way to justify the purchase. I know of shoes that are JUST AS GOOD in every regard ( except for aesthetics ) for half the price. Follow my blog and you will know exactly which shoes I'm talking about.
