 So I'm going to sell a mic today. I want to talk about shoes proper shoes to lift with and then some of the newer pairs that I've been deadlifting in That I got a lot of questions about the Reebok a boxing shoe. Hopefully you guys Find this helpful choosing your footwear to lift weights in and to be stylish. I am an ex sneaker head I do like a lot of sneakers. I am endorsed by Reebok I am a sponsored athlete by them. I'm lucky boy because I love shoes Hopefully you're not too distracted by my man DJ Khaled on my shirt. He's just gonna be filling in Collaboration video we the best so start with I guess cross your lights. You are this would a fairly common shoe Smelly helped mr. Mark Bell helped consult on these with Reebok There's something I've pulled in for a very long time typically when you're deadlifting You want to wear a very flat shoe when you're pulling conventional? I think it becomes less important this type of shoe You just need a flat and beyond that you can kind of pull pretty good in any shoe So I pull sumo and conventional. I go both ways and this shoe served me very well I love the grip on the bottom The ankle support feels really good when you're pulling sumo The only issue I would say is that it is a fairly wide and although I do have a wide foot when I'm pulling sumo And I'm not running. I'm not jumping. I'm not playing a sport. I need the shoe to fit Fairly tight so then there's no wiggle room I want the shoe to become my foot when I'm playing basketball or something you also want a tighter shoe But if it's too tight, you know, you may have some rub and get some blisters and things like that basketball and the fit Maybe even more important But being a little wide here and I have some wiggle on my toes and in this forefoot And when you're trying to crank down and pull sumo or even squat your foot and I'd have some wiggle It wasn't perfect to be honest, but the grip awesome the only main issue then with the shoe is that As of right now it is discontinued as far as I know, so they're hard to get a hold of you might be able to do Amazon or something This is one of my favorite colorways that they came out with It's a ladies colorway, so I went on you know a size or two up it's a ladies 12 and Worthies for a long time still where I'm here in there. I love them One of my actual favorite shoes. It's a Kendrick Lamar Collaboration club C and I basically just brought this one because I like it. I love how it looks To just to show that something like this You could probably squat in okay, and you could probably pull conventional in just fine Because it's flat ish you guys can kind of see That's all you really need with conventional shoe a lot of people use different skateboard shoes or other brand shoes That are fairly inexpensive and that works well And for many it can work well in the squat also the only thing is I guess personal preference with whether you like some ankle support I personally do like a little bit of ankle support And the number two would be grip I guess if you're really twerking on that thing For the sumo or a slightly wider stance squat Already did a video on this you guys can refer back to that so the Reebok legacy. This is there top-level weightlifting shoe When you're squatting if you should use a heel if you should not mostly depends on kind of ankle Mobility and how you hit depth if you hit depth fine with one of these often you don't need one of these It does change your lifting mechanics slightly It's a little bit more trial and error what you need So I'd probably start with the flat shoe and then if you find some issues maybe experiment with these and see how you like them I've been squatting in a heel shoe for some years now, and I can Honestly say this is probably my favorite shoe as I mentioned before it's it's really solid. It's heavy And it's very comfortable for me. I use I use these straps a lot I don't tie them down that much And I love to squat in them pulling in them Maybe not optimal some people do get away with the conventional pole in a heel I don't recommend it for a sumo pole and I don't typically recommend it for a conventional pole either I think it'll be a very rare case that somebody needs a heel Basically, it's just lifting your heel up. So then your hips Can break your knee which is parallel a little bit easier very comfortable shoe a little pricey But in my opinion worth it now What you guys been waiting for Probably my favorite looking shoe out right now. This is a Reeboks top Boxing shoe. I think they have two different levels. This was a little more expensive because of the leather I believe and the limited colorway this one might be closer to $200 where they do have a more affordable one That's under a hundred. I believe don't know anything about boxing But I like the look of the shoe and I know a boxing or wrestling shoe are fairly flat So I got them to try them out and as you see they are fairly flat The grip is pretty good as well. So I've been pulling sumo in these the only complaint slight complaint I do have that makes them not optimal for a sumo pole I do think they would great work great for any squat or any conventional pole to be honest But when you're really trying to push on the outside of your foot and screw that foot in the lip here It's just a little bit jagged. So sometimes I feel just slightly unstable in the toe box But again, these are made for boxing. They're not made for sumo deadlifting. I love how they look I love the ankle support. They fit very tight. They fit like a glove. So I don't even tie them I strap them up sometimes, but don't even do that Pulling conventional. I've done some box jumps. I've done some different things in this some lunges. All that feels great conventional stiff leg Squats you kind of name it feels really really good. It's just the sumo and this is just me being picky. I've still pulled Multiple PRs in this thing rep PRs. It's just that it feels a little Unbalanced here on the edge because you're pushing out on this edge and it has a sharp soul Probably just because boxers are sitting on their toes the whole time. I don't know I don't box, but I can't complain Squats conventional wave, you know, five stars sumo, maybe four stars four and a half There's all these other options if you guys want to check it out and you want to support me I always have the link in the description for all my favorite Reebok gear They do endorse me as I said and it does give me a little kickback if you ever want to support the channel New video schedule.
