Rating of the best barbell manufacturers for 2022

In order not to make mistakes when choosing special shoes for wrestling, you need to decide on its functionality and understand for yourself what it is and what it is for. The design has the following elements: a hard sole, a heel up to 2 cm, a protector, lacing and straps for tightening. This is a shoe characteristic for those who are fond of weightlifting, crossfit and powerlifting. Among professionals, such shoes are called weightlifters.

How to choose

Specially designed shoes are needed for those athletes who, in the process of training, do weighted squats, strength exercises, where squatting is an integral part: jerk and push of the barbell, taking it on the chest, and so on. Weightlifters are also essential for kettlebell lifting. They contribute to the high-quality performance of jerky movements. At the same time, the muscles do not tense so much, which makes it possible to spend much more effort on the squat phase.

Everyone has different selection criteria. But the recommendations of experts boil down to the following. In order for the shoes to be as effective as possible, you should pay attention to such nuances:

View	Description
Heel	Unusual ingredient. A distinctive feature is quite high. Varies from 7 to 40 mm. The choice depends on the height of the person and the size of his feet. Performs the following tasks: • reduces the load on the ankle; • reduces the possibility of injury; • increases the stability of the situation; • increases the comfort of squats.
Material	affects the durability of the product. In the process of intensive exercise, sports shoes wear out a lot, which leads to the need to buy them regularly.The ideal option is a model in the manufacture of which natural rawhide is used. Such equipment will serve the athlete faithfully for more than one year.
Sole	Of great importance is the material of manufacture. Polyurethane won't last long. Moreover, its softness does not allow high-quality adhesion to the floor. It is necessary to pay special attention to the gluing and firmware of the element. Only a combination of these two points will make it possible to operate it for many years. Your own feelings also play an important role. According to buyers, before making a final decision, it is worth trying on a product. The heel should be comfortable. The foot should be tightly fixed. This will help to correctly and conveniently perform strength exercises with a lot of weight.
average price	It's no secret that sometimes you have to overpay for a famous brand. When choosing Nike, Reebok and Adidas weightlifting shoes, you have to pay not only for features that are not always worth that kind of money, but also for prestige. Being engaged in several months, you can be disappointed in shoes. The best models included in the rating of quality goods cannot be cheap. But experts advise not to build on the name of the product, but on compatibility with your anatomical structure.

What are the weightlifters? Manufacturers produce popular models for women and men. They differ not only in color, design and size, but also in resistance to stress. Men's models must withstand regular heavy training with extreme weights, jerks and pushes, while the women's version is designed for more gentle sports.

There is a division of weightlifters according to the field of application:

1. For weightlifting. Do not focus on the appearance of products.Shoes should increase the efficiency of work in the gym. Weightlifters will protect the foot from significant loads, will not lead to flat feet. In order for the shoes to sit tightly on the foot, manufacturers equip the goods with special straps for fixing. Shoes should ideally fix the heel and support the ankle. A distinctive feature is the presence of a rubber base to avoid slipping under heavy loads. The shape of the sole is also special. It should be a powerful support, reduce the load on the ankle.
2. For powerlifting. Designed for power sports. Sabo is considered to be the best manufacturer of such models. They have a block of a unique anatomical shape, a solid heel, an elastic toe, and laces for a secure fit. In the manufacture of high-strength materials are used that can effectively remove heat.
3. For crossfit. Particular attention should be paid to depreciation, as the sport involves a large number of movements. In addition, there should be a feeling of lightness. The fixation of the foot must be perfect. The reliability of the lacing is of great importance. The quality and effectiveness of exercises depends on its tightening density. It is necessary to take into account the presence of additional Velcro. It is necessary to choose a product with a ventilated mesh, so that the foot has the opportunity to be ventilated under significant loads in order to avoid the appearance of an unpleasant sensation in the form of a burning sensation. The product should not weigh much. The size should be chosen a little more than everyday shoes for wearing.

Which company is better

The modern market is filled with such goods. Among the variety you can find premium-class weightlifters from Adidas and a budget option from Zelart Sport.The advantages of premium products include:

• ease;
• the quality of the materials used;
• the convenience of the block for stability (it is wide with ceramic-metal inserts);
• unique design;
• excellent ventilation;
• rubber coating on the base to create an anti-slip effect;
• internal Velcro for additional fixation of the foot;

Professionals advise to opt for branded products. Where to buy them? Only in branded outlets. In the same place, the manager will acquaint the buyer with new products, help to decide which product is better to buy. You can, of course, order the product online in the online store. But first you should review the options offered, read user reviews, study the size table, so as not to miscalculate. But no one will guarantee that in the end you will get high-quality weightlifting shoes made of genuine leather, and not a cheap Chinese fake made of leatherette, but with a “branded” logo.

Inexpensive products are considered universal. It is purchased both for bodybuilding and weightlifting, powerlifting, for training related to building muscle mass. Their characteristics are similar to premium models. But differences are observed in appearance, material of manufacture, design.

Care rules

For this purpose, only natural materials are used that are wear-resistant and ready to withstand any load.Regardless of the rating, in order for the shoes to last a long time, it is necessary to take care of them properly.

There are certain rules to follow:

2. In order to determine the shoes for long-term storage, they are washed, dried, packed in a box, special devices are inserted inside to maintain their shape (or stuffed with paper in the old fashioned way).
3. After the end of the workout, you need to wash the product and dry it at room temperature. It is best to place clean, dry paper inside. Do not use electric heaters, batteries, direct sunlight. Products quickly dry out and lose functionality.
4. The weightlifting product is cleaned when the laces and insoles are pre-stretched. Remains of dirt are removed from the skin using a soft, damp cloth.

Conclusion

Weightlifters are specially designed shoes designed for crossfit, powerlifting, weightlifting and bodybuilding athletes. Presumably the name was invented by weightlifters, who were the first to use such extraordinary boots to help them when lifting heavy weights. Thanks to the tread surface, the models do not slip on the floor. The heel is enlarged and is 1 - 2 cm, which does not allow the athlete to fall on his back. They have an orthopedic effect: they prevent the formation of flat feet, contribute to the formation of the correct abduction of the foot.

They serve to reduce injuries in the classroom. The ankle is held in place by the presence of a raised heel. Boots allow you to minimize damage to the ligaments. Laces and Velcro straps provide a secure fit at the ankle. The athlete in them can easily maintain balance. You will have to pay a lot of money for such sports shoes, but the result is worth it. They are simply necessary for those who regularly work with large weights.
