A weightlifting shoe with a 19mm heel, a deliberately dense midsole and a single instep strap over the laces. It is built for one job: holding a position under load.
The midsole barely compresses. That is the entire point, and it is the opposite of what a running shoe does - a soft sole under a heavy bar means the platform moves while you are trying not to.
The heel is stacked rather than wedged, so the forefoot sits flat instead of sloping. 19mm is a middle height: enough to let most people sit into a squat with an upright torso, not so much that it forces the knees forward.
The specification
Everything we know about this item, stated plainly. The same record is printed on the card in the box.
- Fit
- Runs TRUE TO SIZE in length and NARROW across the forefoot. If you are between sizes or wide-footed, take the half size up - the upper is stiff and it does not give the way a knit does. Otherwise take your normal athletic size.
- How it ages
- The upper creases across the toe box from the first session and keeps that crease. The outsole is the last thing to wear, because this shoe never runs. The strap eyelet is the stress point and it is stitched through a reinforced panel for that reason. A dense EVA midsole loses very little height over its life - expect a millimetre or so, not the collapse a running midsole shows.
- Composition
- Synthetic leather and textile upper; compression-moulded high-density EVA midsole; solid rubber outsole; single nylon instep strap with a metal buckle

Chest is measured pit to pit and doubled. Length is the high point of the shoulder to the hem. Waist is the relaxed waistband, measured flat and doubled. Inseam is the crotch seam to the hem. Measure a garment you already wear and compare — that is more reliable than measuring yourself.
Care
- Wipe the upper with a damp cloth. Never machine wash.
- Air dry away from heat - a radiator will unglue the midsole.
- Loosen the strap between sessions so the nylon recovers.
Cautions
- Not a running, walking or conditioning shoe. A 19mm dense heel is wrong for all three and will hurt.
- Cut narrow across the forefoot. Wide feet should size up.
- Not for outdoor use - the outsole is a flat gym compound and it is slick on wet pavement.
- Machine washing will separate the midsole from the outsole.
