FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are specialized lifting shoes with a rigid sole and are not designed for the impact absorption required for running.
Can I use these for deadlifting?
Yes, many lifters prefer the stability of the Powerlift 5 for deadlifts, though some may prefer a flatter shoe for that specific movement.
How should the shoe fit?
They should provide a snug, locked-in fit around the midfoot and heel to prevent sliding during lifts, while allowing enough room in the toe box for balance.
How do I clean the trainers?
Use a soft brush to remove surface dirt and a damp cloth for deeper cleaning. Avoid submerging them in water or using a washing machine.
What is the purpose of the midfoot strap?
The strap provides extra lockdown and support, preventing your foot from shifting inside the shoe when under heavy loads.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels loose inside the shoe
Re-adjust the laces for a tighter fit and ensure the midfoot strap is pulled firmly across the bridge of the foot.
Sole grip feels slippery
Wipe the bottom of the soles with a damp cloth to remove gym dust or debris that may have collected on the rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Powerlift 5 trainers, ensure they are laced securely before every set. The midfoot strap should be tightened to a point where the foot is held firmly in place without cutting off circulation. Compatibility-wise, these shoes are compatible with standard gym floors and wooden lifting platforms. To care for your trainers, avoid wearing them outside of the gym to prevent premature wear on the outsole grip. If the shoes become damp from sweat, air them out in a cool, dry area away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the materials.
