What exactly is a lifting shoe? What properties does it have for which purposes?
"There are no finger prints under water."
Solid shank, wide base, additional support, solid upper. Those are the things I look for in a weight lifting shoe & a few are opposite what I'd look for in shoes for other activities. Enough so that if I can get a pair on clearance like the Nano's I scored I'm getting a pair. It's not going to make me The Hulk but it will make lifts go better & could help prevent an injury.Originally Posted by Irving

It depends. A true Olympic lifting shoe has a 3/4" to 1" raised heel, and is flat through the arch and toe box. There is virtually no tread on the sole.
These hybrid Crossfit shoes have a much more subtle heel, aggressive tread, and more arch support for running and jumping. For all intents and purposes, they're Cross trainers with a firmer sole and running-based shell.
