Nordic Lifting VENJA Weightlifting Shoes – Men's Gym, Crossfit & Squat Shoes w/Heel Support & Grip Sole

Absolutely love this lifting shoe!! It is now my FAVORITE training shoe. WAAYY better fitment and feel than my Adidas Powerlift shoes. If I had been in my return window I would’ve taken those back because of these. These shoes feel so good I could squat in them and then walk in them for miles, I don’t know how they created a shoe this good but it’s as close to perfect as it gets.

I hoped these would be good weightlifting shoes. I was very pleasantly surprised. They’re good quality, perfect for my needs and level of weightlifting (advanced beginner) at an affordable price. I wanted shoes with a solid base for my lifts and these do the job. They are helping more as I hoped. The big surprise is how comfortable they are, I wasn’t expecting that. I find myself forgetting to take them off when I get home from the gym because they’re so comfortable.Also, absolutely fantastic customer service! My pair arrived with a slight issue. I emailed the company per the “contact us with any issues” note included in the box and I received a reply the same day with a speedy resolution. Wow. Really impressed and will stick with this brand in the future.

This lifting shoe is quite basic but does it's job in performing stability to your feet while you lift. I used to wear running shoes to the gym when I switched to these. You could really feel the difference especially when squatting, deadlifting, and overhead press.As for the size it fits perfectly. I am a 9 in sneakers and the size 9 fits perfectly. No tightness and it is wide enough for my feet.Great shoes if you need a replacement or new to the gym.

Good shoe that gets it done. Most importantly, it has a solid heel with moderate elevation. The forefoot is more flexible than what I was expecting from a lifting shoe, but that makes it more comfortable walking around the gym so you don’t feel like you’re wearing flippers. Definitely worth the price. Would recommend for someone who wants a stable shoe built for weightlifting but doesn’t need an elite pair at an elite price.

I use these shoes for weightlifting both at home and in the gym. I was looking for something that would hold up to the abuse I give them in the gym and would be comfortable enough if I had to wear them outside the gym. These shoes do both. They keep your feet from sweating as bad as regular sneakers thanks to the mesh all over them but that also means if it is cold and windy your feet will get cold walking into the gym so park close to the door. The velcro strap keeps the laces from coming undone and that is something I love on these shoes. They hold up really well on leg day, which is something I was worried about. I don't lift rhinos and buildings or anything like that but I squat about 365 and weigh 200 pounds and these shoes have been holding up fine. They also allow you the freedom in your toes when you are doing things like standing calf raises where you need your toes to spread out.

I immediately felt better with my lifts with the shoes. They are slightly wider than usual so they fit great. The sole is exactly as it should be for weight lifting.

I like the style and color of this shoe. I like that the heel and toe are level. I like the way these shoes feel while wearing them in the gym, especially on leg day when I lift heavier weights. They feel like a solid platform, which is what I was looking for in a gym shoe/sneaker.

These are phenomenal lifting shoes with one minor issue, the laces are way too long. They are comfortable, and stable and have a nice velcro stability strap. I have used mine 4-6 times a week for the last two years. Mostly walking to the gym and lifting. They have performed wonderfully and I will buy another pair once mine are finally dead.
