Review on Reebok Lifters JQ144 Pr II by Brian Thao

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect! for men

I've been throwing weights for years, but just decided to get some real lift shoes to help me conquer the squat plateau. My favorite training shoe is the Reebok Nano X, great wide toe box, stability and comfort but still roomy where you need it. , so picking a Reebok for weightlifters was easy (and let's face it, there are few options, and only if you want a little extra toe room). The Reebok Lifter PR II men's elliptical cross trainer is the least "lifting" shoe on the market, meaning it leans more towards the trainer's side than the lifter's side due to the slightly more forgiving side to side movements/upper is not that stiff. However, these are not machines or for use with movement/HIT based exercises, but primarily for lifting shoes. I wouldn't even consider doing lunges in it (perhaps stationary). In terms of fit, they're slightly narrower than Reebok Nanos, but not by much. Much sturdier/flatter so take an interest in them. Note that they will change your squat position, as for me, now I go a bit wider but can also go deep (I would already plate heel lifts from time to time), they will lift your heel, highly recommended if you they are short, let's say 6, this heel height suits you. If higher, raise the heel differently/higher.

Pros
  • Waiting for
Cons
  • The list will be long.
