SABO Deadlift Shoes - Grey/Black

Product Information

The soles are made from materials that do not have any give which results in a good surface to push against. The pattern and side support on the outsole minimizes slipping.

SABO DeadLift shoes have been created especially for deadlifting with a new non-marking high-density outsole that delivers better traction. Flat, thin soles have been selected to decrease pulling distance, and they are also ideal for people with narrower feet. Some people prefer to deadlift in Oly shoes, and there is no shortage of discussion about the merits of doing so. Oly shoes actually have a lot going for them in terms of using them for deadlifts, as they have the majority of the features that you’d want in deadlift shoes – super flat, thin soles; metatarsal strap for a tight, secure fit; no sole compression; and so on. The obvious difference is that the heels of Oly shoes are raised.

We stock a range of SABO lifting shoes - designed for powerlifting & deadlifting

Powerlifting shoes are made with a flat and firm sole to enable for optimal power transfer from the feet to the earth. This is accomplished through a combination of design elements that work together to improve power transmission during lifts. In standard cross-training and weightlifting shoes, I wear a size 10 and generally have anywhere between .3″-.5″ at the toes of my shoes. For my sizing, I went with the 9.5-10 option, and they fit perfectly. That being said, I think most will be safe going true-to-size. Price The SABO shoes have soles made from rubber, which is the ideal material for grip. On top of that, they have a unique textured pattern on the bottom specifically designed to enhance grip against the floor when deadlifting.

The Born Primitive Savage 1 is an awesome training shoe for heavy deadlifts and functional fitness. In the context of cross-training shoes, this model has been one of my favorites of recent years to tug heavily in. As you’ve learned above, deadlifting requires stable feet with a limited range of motion. This means that your feet technically have no option but to stay in the right position for deadlifting. They are an excellent choice for anyone serious about deadlifting. This includes conventional deadlifts and goes doubly if you do sumo deadlifts because of the increased need for ankle and side support.Many lifters don't realize that a key part of deadlifting technique is reducing your range of motion. This requires a specific type of shoe that places your foot as close to the ground as possible.

Grip: When you have 5 mm soles, that’s just enough for some nice grooves and patterns to be cut relatively deeply into them. These textures contribute greatly to how well your shoes grip on the floor. And since they can be cut a ways into the sole, they’ll still be there for a while even as the sole slowly wears down over time.Unlike other Vivobarefoot shoes used for training like the Primus Lite III and Primus Lite Knit, the Motus Strength has a much more aggressive tread pattern and a heavier upper construction.
