One shoe to rule them all
I’ve just recently gotten back into the sport of powerlifting after 8+ years pursuing other things. Before the break, I tried just about every flat lifting shoe out there: the Reebok Power shoe, Sabos of various models, Nike Metcons, deadlift slippers, you name it. I didn’t quite like any of them. They were either too stiff, too wide, allowed your foot to roll over the sides, had too much or too little of a sole, didn’t have enough grip, etc. As soon as I got back into training SBD hard again, I picked up a pair of the Apex V3s and they are by far the best lifting shoe I’ve ever worn and probably will ever wear. The fit is snug, but comfortable. The sole is minimal, but solid enough to keep your foot in place. The grip is absolutely unmatched. Worth every penny and more. I couldn’t recommend them enough.
