Weightlifting/Powerlifting Shoes
Posted on 4/21/14 at 2:47 pm

Long-time lurker here so please have mercy.
Does any store in Baton Rouge carry weightlifting-specific shoes (e.g. squatting shoes with 0.75 inch heel)?
I have tried Academy, Dick's, Foot Locker, Champs Sports, Footline, etc. and no one seems to have anything in stock.
Is my only option to order online or was any of the OT Swole Team able to buy their footwear locally? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

My tap shoes usually provide enough support.

The OT only wears ECCOs to the gym.

Buy Chuck Taylors and you will save a chit ton of money and will receive the same benefits.

Not really. Chucks are ok for deads but don't really do much for you on squats.
You're best bet is to order online.

I already have some flat-sole shoes for deadlifts but I'm looking for something that will offer greater ankle stability for heavy weights and will allow me sit back more efficiently in the hole.

I use these for Olympic and powerlifting
they work great. Took a couple weeks to get used to deadlifting and squatting in but they are great.

Really. I have never used raised heel shoes for squats and I was a top 5 lifter in this state both RAW and APA.

Dick Sportin Goods typically offer the Reebox Olympic lifting shoes. They aren't "elite" lifers but they have the heel you need.
If they don't, call crossfit gyms who typically sell them

My heels are great for lifting.
