Avancus has changed my lifting career for the better. As a powerlifter, the grip for all three lifts, when you need stability and push, has been tremendous in performance. These are the best shoes for lifters and workouts in general. Comfy, snug, and reliable.

“I competed at Worlds and Asians wearing Avancus shoes, and honestly… they are the BEST lifting shoes I’ve ever used. Solid grip, perfect stability, and zero compromise on comfort even under heavy loads. They supported me through my biggest platform moments, and I trust them completely on the platform. Now I don’t just want one pair — I want Avancus in every color 🤩🔥 If you’re serious about lifting, these are it.”

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.

By far the best lifting shoes I’ve tried. I’m usually a barefoot lifter, but I love how minimal these feel. They give that barefoot feel with a really solid added grip. Can’t wait to wear these and hit some PRs at my next comp 😊

Hi Jessica, thank you for the great review! Glad the barefoot feel and grip are hitting right, go crush those PRs 💪
