Nordic Lifting MEGIN Deadlift Shoes – Elevated Heel Gym Footwear for Powerlifting, Weightlifting & Strength Training – Non-Slip Sole Lifting Shoes for Men

Superior quality squat shoes at a much lower price
I’ve been using these shoes now for about 6 months, squatting twice or three times a week, and I’m very happy with thems. I’d say they’re a higher quality squatting shoe than the worn out Adipowers they replaced for me at 1/4 the cost (I paid $50 for these on sale v. $200 for the Adipowers at the time I bought them in 2017 and latest models are more expensive than that). The higher heel height v. most powerlifting aimed squat shoes isn’t especially noticeable to me, so it creates no balance issues or any general sorts of issues with just walking around, but mechanically I’m pretty sure it has to be making it easier for me to hit full depth with my less than optimally flexible ankles. These shoes are also quite comfortable around the body of them. And they’ve proven very durable, look pretty much brand new still after six months.The only issue I’ve had with them, as other reviewers have mentioned, is that in one of the shoes of the pair the insole came disconnected soon after buying them and was shifting around in a very annoying way. But this was extremely easy to fix. I just applied some cheap Elmer’s type glue of the sort you use in elementary school arts and crafts class to the bottom of the insole and stuck it back in the shoe, and I’ve had zero problems with it since; it’s stayed durably glued in place after that one application of the weakest, cheapest glue there is (which obviously raises the question of why Nordic Power doesn’t just stick a little more glue on at the factory so this issue doesn’t come up).

Solid product, GREAT customer service.
Have been lifting in these a couple days a week for almost three months. Specifically waited to post a review as I purchased these at a steep discount and was initially worried I’d get a cheap shoe that fell apart quickly. This hasn’t been the case, and aside from one concern noted below, they largely still look straight out of the box. Previously lifted in Chuck Taylor’s or barefoot. I’ve used these primarily as squat shoes and leg day in general, though I also occasionally will use them for overhead presses or other lifts that would benefit from a more stable base.I initially purchased these as I was beginning to have knee trouble, which I attributed to a tendency to roll to the outside of my feet during heavy squats. These have done a great job of helping keep my foot in place and preventing that roll, and I can say that I do feel significantly more stable throughout the squat. I can’t make an accurate comparison to other lifting shoes as this is my first pair, but I can attest that they have a solid base, are very comfortable, and have held up well with a few exceptions.Product quality is generally good with one notable exception. The metatarsal strap is fairly cheap feeling compared to the rest of the shoe, and has frayed and bit around the edges. The first pair I received had busted the stitching the first time I wore them, which appeared to be because there was a single row of stitching connecting the male and female hook and loop sides, and this rested directly on the metal buckle when tightened. It’s an obvious weak point, but aside from this the shoes are very well made. I contacted Nordic lifting directly to comment on this and without jumping through any hoops they immediately sent replacement shoes to me, and even adjusted the size as I believed going a half size down would be a benefit. The customer service was great to the point that I will be going to them first for any future equipment before checking other brands. The product is solid and well worth the money, but the company producing it is what has sold me on future Nordic lifting products.

When I had initially received these shoes, the right shoe was ‘picture perfect’ and fit exactly as the size chart recommended. However, the left shoe had some defects and was evidently, smaller which crammed my left foot.I had noticed a card in the box with a support email, I emailed them everything about the left shoe (with pictures/details) and they have responded right away and agreed to send me a free of charge replacement pair.I had recently received the replacement pair and they were exactly as I would expect, picture perfect and in good condition. Both shoes fit the same, as they should.I still need to get some lifts in with the shoes as the new arrival was quite recent, but I wanted to leave this feedback as the customer support with this company is incredible. They didn’t give any hassle or flak about my concerns and immediately sent me a new pair which arrived within a week (as they said it would). They didn’t make me send the old pair back and I didn’t have to pay any additional fee’s. They simply corrected the matter and sent the new shoes right to my door.The quality of the shoes is as expected and if there any issues down the road, I can be rest assured that their support team will handle it.

Till now I worked out barefoot but I wanted to improve my squat form by using some proper shoes. After some research I decided to buy this ones. They are great, really an improvement. I have no comparison because they are my first ones but they are absolutely great
