SABO Deadlift Shoes - Grey/Black

Product Information

Pros: good arch support, raised heels, super flat & wide soles, firm but comfortable insoles, solid tight fit, good traction, versatile, lots of color choices. Add in consistent foot training exercises, plus some unilateral leg work (e.g. single leg RDLs), and you’ll be well on your way to improving your flat foot woes.

While deadlifting, you need to focus on keeping the weight on your body all the time. This requires your feet to be as flat as possible.

Deadlifting Shoes – Conclusion

Below is the Russian to US men’s shoe size conversion chart. If you’re a woman, or if you’re a guy who’s used to a non-US shoe sizing system, just skip this chart and jump straight to the measurement method section. US Men’s Sizes

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 length of the shoe is measured from the heel to the end toe tip on the inside of the shoe (excluding lining and inner sole). More accurate measurements are taken while standing. On the flip side, the more rubbery your shoes are, the more flexible they’ll be. Yet, unlike foam and EVA, the rubber will retain the compression resistance and support needed for deadlifts. Overall, I love my SABO Deadlift Shoes, but there are a couple of cons that I could see others having with this model.

Another great benefit of deadlift shoes is their thin soles. While hard and fully flat, they keep you as close to the floor as possible.
