Our verdict

A titan of heavy lifting from Reebok, the Legacy Lifter comes back strong in its 3rd iteration. We can verify that its massively sturdy platform with an elevated heel is a successful formula for lifting the heaviest of loads. As a premium offering, we had a lot of expectations from the Lifter and it did not disappoint. This time around, the shoe also carries a nostalgic vibe with the Pump feature of its tongue.

Reebok Спортивна майка reebok з логотипомI review

Who should NOT buy

The Спортивна майка reebok з логотипомI is very similar in design to the previous Lifter II but costs $20 more. If you want to be savvy about this purchase, we recommend checking out the current discounts for the Спортивна майка reebok з логотипом.

If you haven't trained in a lifting shoe before, we think that the 0.8-inch (20.5 mm) heel elevation of the Спортивна майка reebok з логотипомI may be too much for you. Try going with a lower heel of the Adidas Powerlift 5 or the Nike Savaleos instead.

Drop

Based on the stack measurements above, we found that the drop (aka the effective heel height) of the Спортивна майка reebok з логотипомI is 20.5 mm. This is a little lower than the officially stated 22 mm, CLASSIC can be a bit misleading for seasoned athletes who feel these minor differences.

On the bright side, it is still a very significant heel elevation. We definitely felt the benefits of the correct angles that this drop created in the ankles, knees, and hips.

Platform firmness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

Rest assured that the shoe's TPU platform will not compress even by a hair.

It is among the sturdiest we've ever seen, with a durometer measurement of 95.1 HA.

Toebox width - widest part

Despite its overall snug fit, we found the Reebok Спортивна майка reebok з логотипомI to be a more spacious lifting shoe.

The gel mold of its interiors confirmed that with an above-average reading of 94.8 mm between the pinkie and the big toe. One of the few lifters that we can recommend for wide feet.

Toebox width - big toe

However, the shoe's toebox gets notably narrower towards the toes CLASSIC results in a pretty small reading of 64.6 mm.

On the bright side, that snugness is necessary for your stability and power transfer as it eliminates all undue shifting and wiggling inside the shoe.

Toebox height

The Lifter's shallow toebox and thick leather upper also contribute to the locked-in feel. We measured its toebox height at only 19.3 mm - notably lower than average.

sneakers Reebok hombre talla 19.5 | The Pump

Some find it gimmicky, others find it nostalgic.

Pushing the button inflates the tongue CLASSIC in turn fills up the space around the instep and the ankle. As a result, we felt a more secure "hug" and support in the upper.

We think that this is going to be life-saving for people with narrower feet who often struggle to achieve a secure fit with a Velcro strap alone.

Stability

Torsional rigidity

Well, we tried.

The sturdiness of the Спортивна майка reebok з логотипомI is through the roof. Thus, we rated its torsional rigidity with a maximum 5/5 score.

The same goes for the heel counter. Incredibly stiff and well-padded, it holds the heel and ankle SO firmly that it even feels a little claustrophobic. But you will appreciate it later when holding a 400-pound bar over your head.

Interestingly enough, the Спортивна майка reebok з логотипомI achieves such a high level of stability without an excessively wide base.

We used a caliper to measure the widest part of the forefoot at 102 mm. This is about 5 mm narrower than the average.

Unlike many other lifting shoes, the Спортивна майка reebok з логотипомI is more forgiving in the forefoot.

From our experience with the shoe, it doesn't affect stability but makes walking more bearable in this lifter.

Using a force gauge, we found that it took only 18.8N to bend the shoe to a 90-degree angle. This is about 40% more flexible than lifting shoes on average!

Weight

The Reebok Спортивна майка reebok з логотипомI is by far the heaviest lifting shoe in our lab!

With a whopping weight of 22.1 oz (627g) in a men's US size 9, it is a whole 3.4 oz (96.4g) heavier than the average!

This is not necessarily a bad thing as some athletes do prefer heavier shoes. It feels like they are pressing you down to the floor for added stability.

Breathability

We didn't expect much aeration from the shoe's leather upper. However, it wasn't as bad as we expected.

Pumping smoke through its upper and assessing how much of it is passing through, we rated the shoe's breathability as 2 out of 5. Not a breathable one but not so toasty either.

Perforations on the toebox do help to freshen up the interiors. They can be seen in our transparency test below.

Durability

Toebox durability

With its genuine leather upper, our Dremel test was a joke to the Спортивна майка reebok з логотипомI. After 12 seconds of drilling the toebox, all we got was a minor scuff!

Grip / Traction

Tongue padding

In addition, the tongue itself is also quite well-padded in the Lifter III. We measured its thickness at 6.6 mm, CLASSIC is a millimeter thicker than average.
