Top of the line Olympic weightlifting shoes typically cost around $200 or more, but if you’re looking for something a little less expensive, there are also a few quality options on the market.
Here are the top three cheapest Olympic weightlifting shoes as of 2023, based on our research and personal use:
Reebok Men’s Lifter PR II Cross Trainer ($70-$100)
- Heel Lift Height: 0.86″
- Sole material: Rubber
- Upper material: Textile
- Sizing: True to size
- Outsole: Rubber
It’s a great beginner shoe, good for weightlifting, cross-training, and is cost-efficient. However, it’s not as stable as a traditional weightlifting shoe.
Do-Win Weightlifting Shoes ($95-$105)
- Heel Lift Height: 0.75″
- Sole material: Rubber
- Upper material: Leather
- Sizing: 1/2 size smaller than your current running shoe size
- Weight: 17 ounces
The wide profile of the shoe provides stability and comfort, especially for those with wider feet. The shoes are made up of synthetic leather and nylon mesh, which allows for flexibility and breathability. And the single sole construction helps with durability.
Adidas Men’s Powerlift 5 ($60-$140)
- Heel Lift Height: 0.6″
- Sole material: Rubber
- Upper material: Fabric
- Sizing: True to size
- Weight: 1.94 pounds
The shoe prioritizes stability with a narrow fit, midsole wedge, and a wide instep strap. The canvas upper is durable and comfortable, and the rubber sole lasts a long time.
However, the narrow and tight build of the shoe could be an issue for those with wide feet. It excels in the grip department with plenty of rubber for anti-slip use.
