Used while deadlifting and the shoes are similar to my old wrestling shoes for height from the floor. I use the traditional close stance. These new shoes are easy to get on and off. The string to secure the shoe is useless. Overall, I plan on using these shoes in competition.

It was an awesome experience

I Purchased two pairs of the Hercules deadlifts shoes approximately one month before my powerlifting meet. I was able to immediately wear them and do a dead lift work out right out of the box. The bonus for me is that I can also comfortably wear them while doing cardio work on the elliptical machine and walk with them on the treadmill. They are very comfortable shoes that are perfect for dead lifting. However, I also use them while benching and squatting. A month after purchasing them, I set a lifetime PR dead lifting at my powerlifting meet. I have one pair in my basement for my home gym, and a second pair I leave in the locker at my commercial gym. At my powerlifting meet, several people notice them and asked about them and had me send the link to them to purchase these shoes, so I know it’s not just me that loves the look and feel of the shoes. I rate them a 10 out of 10.

Just did a meet in them and PR’d my deadlift, so I guess you could say they are magic
Enid B.
Love the shoes! Great customer service.

If you're on the cusp of buying these, just do it! They're perfect for deadlifts! Haven't tried em for squats yet but assume they'd be just as awesome.
Christopher P.
I love these shoes. A perfect fit out of the box and comfortable. Use them for reads and squats. Great shoe at a great price! Thank you for a great product.

Love these for deadlifts, super low to the floor almost feel barefoot. Could actually use these for squats if u wanted to. I have wide feet so I like that they are comfortable fitting. Only downside is the laces wrap behind the shoe so I couldn’t get the shoe to fit as tight as I wanted but other then that they’re really good.

Love these for my sumos! My trainer wishes they tied tighter though...he says i could use them for squats too if they provided more support ♀️
Robert B.
Awesome and comfortable for dead-lifting
Jeffrey B.
Great service. Quick shipping and delivery. Great product also!
Matthew F.
They get the job done (i.e., I was told I couldn't deadlift in my socks) and they are good shoes, easy to get on and off quickly and sturdy. I would buy them again.
Steven V.
Feel great! Nice quality for the price.
Jasmin M.
Awesome shoes for deadlifting! I have the support of the shoe and still feel myself pushing the floor away properly as I deadlift. They are comfortable to wear and easy to slip on.
Daniel B.
Great customer service and quality products. I always love dealing with strength shop.
Anne M.
Max deadlift day with my Hercules lift shoes! Fit true to size, comfy and empowering!
Jill H.
Packaging was great and shoes were even better! Great price for a minimalist shoe, they are comfortable, and I feel like my feet are stable on the ground. No rotation of the ankle, definitely let’s you push off the floor for those heavy lifts
Stephanie E S.
These shoes are amazing! The amount of torque I'm able to produce is great! I'd recommend them to anyone serious about deadlifting.
James V.
These shoes are not only perfect for the DL but I much prefer to squat without raised heels and these work great. They have a great non slip sole for safety. The sizing was spot on. Comfortable and well made. A steal for the price.
Marcelo S.
The shoes arrived within a week of my purchase.
They fit very comfortably, and are light and flexible as advertised.
Plus, a very reasonable price.
Thanks!

True to size, works great for sumo squats.
Barry B.
Wore them while doing pulls they feel really good I took out the shoe liner to get a more solid feel they preformed very well look forward to pulling heavier poundages in them lol ;)
Tony N.
Very comfortable and grippy with all surface types thus far.
Jason S.
Great shoes for deads. Good feel foot to ground, with a low yet substantial sole. I don’t sumo on the reg but I’ve tried these sumo and there is no slip etc. Great for conventional. The laces tighten around your ankle not around your foot which is really nice. I’m a size 12 shoe always and these are no exception.
Antonio D.
I ordered a size 9 and was worried about if it would fit or not but it definitely fit me good and the shoes breaks into your foot; real flat and semi comfortable cause of course its more comfortable shoes out there but this is the real deal and my foot is not overly wide fairly average size ; great grip and traction i have no complaints
Victor A.
Great product! The sole is firm, thin, and durable. The upper is a sturdy leather, but they do not fit my feet correctly. The toe box is too narrow and the mid foot is too loose with no way to tighten. But I also have wide feet with high arches.
Stephen D.
Fantastic shoe all around. Just got these around the holidays as a gift from my wife, and I have gotten to do a speed deadlift and a heavy box squat. The grip is fantastic, I squat pretty wide and when I lock my feet on setup, these feel better than any shoe I have. Nothing is worse than setting up for a max squat and your feet keep sliding when you engage. The quality and comfort are outstanding, super light and fit like a glove. I went 11.5 and usually wear a 12, they fit perfectly! Definitely will purchase again.

Got a new Pr in then there amazing
Vincent T.
It was an okay shoe. Being a conventional deadlifted, I didn’t like how small the width of the soles were. I have wider feet and felt the sides basically sinking in.
Ester G.
Nice but didn’t fit.
Tara T.
There are simply not enough reviews about these. These shoes are reasonably priced for the material and quality that they are. Sarah lawn mower sturdy than deadlift slippers, and a lot more comfortable than wrestling boots, due to their wide width.
My only complaint is that they are slightly bigger than I expected. I am a woman, and I ordered my normal men's shoe size. A 7.5 would have worked better than the 8 I bought. HOWEVER, I do love these shoes, and I'm glad I bought 2 pairs. You can't beat them.
Steve I.
These shoes are great for rowing on the Concept2 rowing machine.
Robert B.
Perfect shoe for deadlifts. You cannot get any closer to the ground unless you are barefooted. Great fit and solid support!! Love 'em. Even use them for squatting. They're an excellent squat shoe.
Joe M.
A very little snug, not a big deal. I wish I found these sooner. These are a real upgrade from regular sneakers for deadlifting/ squatting.
