adiPower Weightlifting Shoes - Real Review(They Suck)

                            Let me Explain. Take a look at these shoes first.

What do you see there that is worth Two hundred dollars ? ($200 + Tax )


These shoes are great and effective weightlifting shoes, and they are terribly over-priced. A lifter should not have to pay more than roughly 100$ for a good pair of shoes that lasts forever.

Now, for the specifics. Sizing for these is identical to your street wear shoes, buy your regular shoe size. The unique thing about the adiPower's is how stable and RIGID they are. They are not at all flexible. If you have poor ankle flexibility , you your backfoot is mostly on the toes during a split jerk, these shoes are going to cause you trouble because they will resist bending. Look at these photos for a better explanation

 This lifter would have no problems in adipowers because as you can see his ankle on the back foot is extremely flexible.

This lifter would be annoyed at the resistance caused by the hard plastic.


All in all, they are great shoes, quality is good, and they are effective. But take it from someone who has been around the block, you will be paying extra for absolutely nothing. But some people do like the aesthetic of the adiPowers and I agree there.
