Weightlifting Shoes
FOOST LIFTER WEIGHTLIFTING SHOESENGINEERED FOR YOUR DEEPEST SQUAT.
27mm heel height for deeper squats, zero wobble, and perfect bar positioning.
WHAT MAKES FOOST LIFTER DIFFERENT
FOOST Lifter is built around three core principles: deeper squat, maximum force transfer, and unshakeable stability.
27 mm Heel Height
Optimal 27.0 mm heel height that supports deeper squats and helps lifters with limited ankle mobility achieve better positioning.
Incompressible Sole
Full hard TPU sole for maximum force transfer. No energy lost to cushioning. Just a solid, stable base for heavy lifts and Olympic movements.
C-Frame Stability
Proprietary TPU stability frame that wraps the midfoot to prevent knee collapse during heavy squats, cleans, and snatches.
For him and her
ENGINEERED FOR OLYMPIC LIFTS & HEAVY SQUATS
Weightlifting shoes are more than footwear, they’re a performance tool. FOOST Lifter combines a biomechanically engineered 27mm heel height, a rigid TPU C-Frame, and a fully incompressible sole to create absolute stability during your heaviest lifts.
The result: more consistent technique, better depth in the bottom position of squats, and maximum force transfer into the barbell.
THE 27MM ADVANTAGE: DEEPER SQUATS, ZERO WOBBLE
Struggling to hit depth without your heels lifting?
A 27 mm elevated heel solves this instantly, allowing your knees to travel forward naturally while keeping your torso vertical. No ankle flexibility required.
27 mm is the optimal heel height for maximum depth, engineered for lifters who refuse to compromise on squat mechanics. See 27mm vs 20mm Heel Comparison.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR LIFTS:
✓ Hit ATG depth without heel lift or forward lean
✓ Maintain vertical torso in front squats and cleans
✓ Compensate for limited ankle mobility instantly
✓ Lock into receiving position with zero adjustment
Whether you’re chasing PRs or perfecting technique, 27mm gives you the mechanical advantage to lift with confidence.

RATED 4.8/5 BY COMPETITIVE LIFTERS
Real athletes. Real results. Real reviews.
“Switched from my Romaleos to the Foost Lifter and immediately felt the difference in squat depth. The higher heel really helps.”
“I have limited ankle mobility and used to struggle staying upright in deep squats. With the Foost Lifter, my clean feels smoother and better aligned.”
“I trained with Adipower for years. Once I pushed above 400 lbs in the front squat, I felt the difference with the Foost Lifter. The taller heel and wider platform keep my posture much more upright.”
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why is 27mm better than 20mm heel height?
The 27mm heel provides optimal ankle angle for maximum squat depth without requiring exceptional mobility. While 20mm heels work for most lifters, 27mm offers a mechanical advantage for those with limited ankle dorsiflexion or athletes seeking ATG (ass-to-grass) depth in Olympic lifts. The extra 7mm makes a significant difference in bottom position stability and torso angle.
Will FOOST Lifter fit wide feet?
Yes! FOOST Lifter is specifically designed with extra toe box space and a wider platform base compared to Nike Romaleos or Adidas Adipower. Most customers with wide feet (D or EE width) report a comfortable, secure fit without pressure points. We recommend ordering your true size—the extra width is built into the standard fit.
How do FOOST Lifters compare to Nike Romaleos 4?
FOOST Lifter has a 7mm higher heel (27mm vs 20mm), wider toe box for better fit, and our proprietary C-Frame stability system to prevent knee collapse. Romaleos are excellent shoes with a proven track record, but FOOST offers more depth assistance, better fit for wide feet, and a lower price point ($185 vs $200+). Read our full comparison here.
Can I use these for CrossFit or just Olympic lifting?
FOOST Lifter is optimized for Olympic weightlifting (snatch, clean & jerk) and heavy squats (back squat, front squat). While you can use them for the strength portions of CrossFit workouts, they’re not ideal for running, box jumps, or high-volume metcons due to the elevated heel and rigid sole. For CrossFit athletes, we recommend using FOOST for barbell work and switching to training shoes for conditioning.
How long does shipping take?
Usually 5-7 business days by FedEx. You’ll receive tracking information via email once your order ships. Express shipping options are available at checkout for faster delivery.
Are these good for powerlifting or just Olympic lifting?
FOOST Lifter works great for both! The 27mm heel is ideal for Olympic lifts where mobility and deep positions matter most. For powerlifting, they’re excellent for high-bar squats and front squats. Many powerlifters prefer flat shoes for low-bar squats and deadlifts.
Do I need to break these in?
No extended break-in period needed. FOOST Lifter uses premium materials that are comfortable from day one. The rigid sole and TPU frame are built for performance, not cushioning, so they’ll feel firm—that’s intentional.
