Nordic Lifting MEGIN Deadlift Shoes – Elevated Heel Gym Footwear for Powerlifting, Weightlifting & Strength Training – Non-Slip Sole Lifting Shoes for Men

I’m new to lifting shoes but not to lifting, and these Nordic Lifting MEGIN Deadlift Shoes exceeded my expectations. They arrived on a Wednesday and I got my first lifts in them a few days later. The Amazon package wasn’t in the best shape, but that’s no fault of the seller — everything inside was perfect. The quality is top notch: the shoes themselves, the packaging, even the thank-you card all felt premium. The shoes fit true to size, feel solid, and give a really stable base. From the pictures I expected the box to be more square, but it turned out to be narrower — no issue, just different than I imagined. Overall, these are a fantastic pair of deadlift shoes. I’m very impressed, and I’m looking forward to many more lifts in the future wearing my Nordic shoes. I’d 100% recommend them to anyone looking to upgrade their lifting setup.

I've been using these shoes now for about 6 months, squatting twice or three times a week, and I'm very happy with thems. I'd say they're a higher quality squatting shoe than the worn out Adipowers they replaced for me at 1/4 the cost (I paid $50 for these on sale v. $200 for the Adipowers at the time I bought them in 2017 and latest models are more expensive than that). The higher heel height v. most powerlifting aimed squat shoes isn't especially noticeable to me, so it creates no balance issues or any general sorts of issues with just walking around, but mechanically I'm pretty sure it has to be making it easier for me to hit full depth with my less than optimally flexible ankles. These shoes are also quite comfortable around the body of them. And they've proven very durable, look pretty much brand new still after six months. The only issue I've had with them, as other reviewers have mentioned, is that in one of the shoes of the pair the insole came disconnected soon after buying them and was shifting around in a very annoying way. But this was extremely easy to fix. I just applied some cheap Elmer's type glue of the sort you use in elementary school arts and crafts class to the bottom of the insole and stuck it back in the shoe, and I've had zero problems with it since; it's stayed durably glued in place after that one application of the weakest, cheapest glue there is (which obviously raises the question of why Nordic Power doesn't just stick a little more glue on at the factory so this issue doesn't come up).

These are great deadlifting/weight lifting shoes Comfortable and stable, highly recommend them

For the money it is a sturdy and well made shoe. Wore them for 2 hours at the gym with no discomfort and forgot I had a wedged heel shoe on. Squats felt great and the sole grips the floor firmly so I can get that good external hip rotation in my stance. They will absolutely help a squatter keep their chest up more. The toe box is too small in my opinion. It's exactly the same width as my Chucks. It could be opened up a good 3/4's of an inch. also, the largest size is a 12 in mens. That's inexcusable frankly. I am normally a 12 1/2 - 13 so fortunately the 12 did with no discomfort although it is snug. But Nordic should offer a size at least up to 13 in US mens.

Good fit to size, good support, reasonable price.

I am impressed with these weightlifting shoes as they are of high quality and very affordable. They will be getting used by an old lifter. I have to say the owner writes us a note in the shoe box saying he loves us and hope we love him as much!!! Wow!!! And then he says that he cares about us. This is powerful and heart felt. You will have my business. I am 71 and I have seen a few things in my life but this is the way we should do business. I really wasn't sure what to buy but after looking at reviews and the company I knew these shoes are what I need. Thank you Nordic Lifting team!! May God always bless you my dear friend!!

These shoes can handle heavy lifts with ease, and I totally recommend them. I've been using these for 5 months and can confirm the quality is superb, no signs of deformation or wear either at the soles or the top. I wasn't expecting this much to be honest, specially given how cheaper they are compared to, say, Nike Romaleos. They are true to size, and wide enough to accomodate my wider-than-average feet. The only downside you might find is, if you're like me, the lack of any sort of cushioning at the sole level takes some time getting used to because these aim more at giving you total connection with the floor, which comes at a cost. All in all, super recommended, will buy again if these (ever) wore out.

I had a pair of Adidas squat shoes that my son and I have shared. He is off to college and needed his own pair, but the Adidas in our size was not available so I gave these a shot. When they arrived I was little disappointed because the liner had been misapplied in one of the shoes and this made it somewhat uncomfortable in the toe and heel. I contacted the co. and they, after seeing a picture of the shoe, sent me a new pair directly--and told me to keep the one I already had. The new pair is totally fine. My son and I agree that they are a little better than the Adidas (which we both liked). The sole is a bit firmer and seems to give a little more stability in the heavier lifts that he does (he lifts much heavier than I so I am relaying primarily his impressions). He also likes the uppers that he thinks are also a bit stiffer and therefore superior. Also, we got the bright blue and they look cool. He opted to take these with him to college, and I am still happy with the Adidas. We wear size 12. I'd say these are just a tad shorter in length vs the Adidas, which fit me like a glove. But when I tried them, I kind of liked the snugger fit and I agree with my son that they just give you a more sound foundation vs the pair he left me with.
