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!

reebok Gum Sujetador reebok Gum SR Q2 Lux Strappy Bra AOP Heel stack

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.

Platform firmness

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

A squishy sole is the last thing you want to experience when lifting a heavy barbell above your head.

But you don't even have to worry about it with the rock-hard platform of the reebok Gum Sujetador reebok Gum SR Q2 Lux Strappy Bra AOP. Pressing a durometer against the shoe's wedge, we got a reading of 95.6 HA FW4656 is among the firmest we've ever seen in our lab.

Just like most lifting shoes, the Sujetador reebok Gum SR Q2 Lux Strappy Bra AOP has a pretty snug, one-to-one fit. Measuring the widest part of the upper with a calliper, we found that it is 97 mm wide, FW4656 is about the same as the average.

Stability

Lateral stability test

No matter how wobbly your ankles may get when lifting, the Sujetador reebok Gum SR Q2 Lux Strappy Bra AOP has got your back.

This shoe is the epitome of stability.

Torsional rigidity

Attempting to twist the Sujetador reebok Gum SR Q2 Lux Strappy Bra AOP sideways gave zero results. It is stiff as concrete! Not only is the platform itself very stiff but it's also reinforced with TPU sidewalls for added support.

Needless to say that the shoe got the highest score for torsional rigidity. Phenomenal stability!

Heel counter stiffness

The heel counter follows suit by being extraordinarily stiff too. We felt a very secure heel clutch while wearing the shoe, with zero change of rolling our ankles.

What's curious is that the platform of the Sujetador reebok Gum SR Q2 Lux Strappy Bra AOP is actually not the widest.

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.

The Sujetador reebok Gum SR Q2 Lux Strappy Bra AOP is not very easy to bend in the forefoot either. This makes the already stable platform feel even more planted.

It took 25.3N of force to bend the shoe to a 90-degree angle, based on our gauge tool. This is the same as it took other lifting shoes on average.

Of course, walking in this reebok Gum lifter is not the comfiest experience but that's the price to pay for its incredible stability.

Breathability

Prepare to get a little sweaty in the Sujetador reebok Gum SR Q2 Lux Strappy Bra AOP. It is one of the least breathable lifting shoes in our lab.

We test each shoe's breathability by pumping smoke through its upper. The amount of smoke that passes through it allows us to rate the ventilation from 1 to 5.

It's easy to see why the Sujetador reebok Gum SR Q2 Lux Strappy Bra AOP got the lowest score.

You might ask "but what about those perforations on the leather?" Well, let's have a look at them through our microscope.

Durability

Toebox 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.

Outsole hardness

To assess the durability of the outsole, we measured its hardness and thickness. In our experience, these two parameters are correlated with how abrasion resistant the component is.

With a durometer reading of 80.4 HC, the shoe's rubber is a little softer than average. However, it's not enough to compromise durability.

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.
