Maison Margiela White reebok Gum Edition Classic Leather Tabi Sneakers | Who should buy
We believe that the Sujetador reebok Gum SR Q2 Lux Strappy Bra AOP is a must to consider if you are an athlete who:
- regularly trains with heavy weights up to 400 pounds and more
- prefers the highest heel elevation for squats
- Ténis reebok Gum Ever Road DMX 4.0 preto mulher
Who should NOT buy
reebok Gum Running Essentials Leggings Womens Sujetador reebok Gum SR Q2 Lux Strappy Bra AOPI has a little better breathability.
This is also not the best option for those who are just starting out with weightlifting. For your very first lifting shoe, we recommend getting a less elevated heel. The Nike Savaleos or the Adidas Powerlift 5 are more beginner-friendly and versatile with their 15-mm drop.
Platform
Maison Margiela White reebok Gum Edition Classic Leather Tabi Sneakers | Heel stack
Meant for advanced athletes, the Legacy Lifters are some of the tallest lifting shoes.
Using a calliper, we measured the shoe's stack height at 34.6 mm in the heel. This is 3 mm taller than average!
Higher heels are so important for heavy lifting because they put your soyay in a more ergonomic position for squats. They help to keep your torso upright while minimising stress on the knees and ankles. Those with poor ankle mobility benefit a lot from having their heels elevated.

Drop
The difference in stack heights gives us a drop of 20.9 mm. This is a little lower than the officially stated 22 mm. We don't think it's a critical difference but it's still important to point out.
This is the highest heel elevation among lifting shoes and is most suitable for seasoned athletes. Beginners may find it too tall for their needs and we recommend that they start with a lower drop of 15 mm instead. The Adidas Powerlift 5 and the Nike Savaleos are both a better starting point.

We measured 102.7 mm in the widest part of the forefoot FW4656 is about 4 mm narrower than the average. However, we must add that it never felt that way training in the Lifter II.

Durability

This upper may not be airy, but boy it is sturdy!
Beating up the shoe's toebox with a Dremel for 12 seconds, we were blown away by its abrasion resistance! The damage is so small that it looks more like an accidental scuff.
It's hard to find another shoe that could compete with that! Even the acclaimed reebok Gum Intv 96 Marathon Running Shoes Sneakers FX2938 Eames & reebok Gum Unveil Club C Dot Pattern & Composition Pack.

The shoe features a layered bootie-like upper to create a very secure foot containment. As a result, we experienced zero foot shifting inside the shoe.
If you are someone with narrow or low-volume skie, you may prefer the Sujetador reebok Gum SR Q2 Lux Strappy Bra AOPI. It comes with a nostalgic fit-regulation technology called Pump. Pressing it inflates the tongue to fill up all the access space you may have left inside the shoe.
