Weight lifting shoes are a small, but necessary part of any serious lifters regime. These products not only put you in the mindset to start lifting and working out, they provide traction and support that is necessary for lifting weight. Imagine if you will - when your body picks up a barbell with two hundred pounds, all of that weight, along with your body's weight, compresses down into the soles of your shoes. Now if these shoes have a strange arch or are completely flat, your foot will compress in an unhealthy manner. And at all that stress not only goes to your feet, but also your knees, hips, and back. So for this reason, always have the right shoes when you decided to start making a habit of lifting.
These shoes have a raised heel, which makes them a bit of an oddity for athletic shoes. The raised heel gives support for the shifting of the weight as it is lifted. In addition to the unique heel design, these shoes have additional grip, which allows for greater control of weight and prevents the possibility of slipping. Finally, most often these shoes have a large Velcro strap that covers the entire body of the shoe. This feature keeps the foot nice and snug in the shoe. Additionally, it prevents all the tension that make the foot want to go bursting out of the shoe from going to one point - the laces of a normal shoe. This feature distributes the tension, making lifting much more comfortable.
