These are weightlifting shoes designed to provide maximum stability, support, and durability for serious lifting sessions. The Powerlift 3 features a high-density die-cut wedge midsole that offers a solid foundation, along with an adjustable strap over the laces for extra support. The shoes are specifically built for strength training, including exercises like squats and deadlifts, making them a great choice for dedicated lifters. However, they are not intended for running or other types of cross-training due to their rigid construction and heel lift. If you’re focused on strength training, these shoes provide excellent value for their price
