weightlifting shoes
Raised-heel gym footwear
Weightlifting shoes are specialized athletic footwear with a raised, rigid heel—typically wood or hard plastic—that allows deeper squats while maintaining an upright torso.
Unlike running shoes, they have minimal cushioning and a flat, non-compressible sole for stability during heavy lifts: I finally invested in weightlifting shoes and my squat form improved immediately.
