Absolutely love the high tops! I prefer to squat in flats and to this point I hadn’t been able to find a barefoot hightop that I could push into at the ankle while also being able to press into my big toe & pinky toe to help me with force production out of the hole in the squat. I like to wear the tops loose in the squat for ankle flexion. I also love these for bench & deads! It’s nice to wear the SAME shoes for all 3 lifts!

Best all around powerlifting shoe I’ve ever used! I’ve used everything from vans, converse, slippers, and other barefoot shoes. The ground feel with these is spot on and you can feel everything from your toes, arches, and ball of foot. The structure of the shoe is enough for support but not too restricting. The grip of the soles is also some of the best in the game. Avancus listens to their customers and it shows, 10/10 shoe and company.

They were helpful in exchanging me for a size up. I truly love the shoe, it’s just when I got it, it came with cosmetic damage of some sort as the toe box of my shoe was yellow from who knows what and I just don’t want to go through the process of exchanging it again as I don’t notice the yellowing on the brand new white shoes until after I wore them outside. They are very grippy though and I love them! Update: Their customer service team was incredibly nice and didn’t even have to do what they did because my defects were minor but they still went on to send me a brand new pair. Highly appreciative of their team. ♾️/10 customer service!

Upgraded to the v2 six months after purchasing the v1.5; best decision. Superb grip and anatomically foot placement provides dialled in glute activation. Fan for life

I've been lifting weights consistently for some time now, first as a pseudo powerlifter now more focused on hypertrophy. Originally used to lift in Converse or Vans for the comfort and their flatness. But after using the Avancus Apex Power v2.0s, I'll never go back to any other shoe for anything besides squatting/cardio. They feel flat and wide so your feet really have room to breathe, they're extremely stable and they have great traction for feeling glued to the floor on deadlift-style movements. Couldn't recommend these enough, they're absolutely fantastic shoes for the gym.
