Hey guys,
Looking at doing my first comp in November (if COVID doesn't interfere). I was chasing some shoes with an elevated heel for my squats and bench, that would be legal for IPF. There are a lot of options out there and I was hoping a few of you would have some good thoughts on these. I am told a shoe that isn't spongey would be good, so I'm probably looking for one that has a nice, hard insole for a firm base to perform lifts off.
I found Irontanks have a shoe for $90 (my size 8 isn't in stock atm), and then there are Adidas, Nike with shoes of $150+ so not sure if it's a 'you pay for what you get' type scenario or not (especially as I have Irontanks kneesleeves and wrist wraps that are IPF approved and really good quality)
Any thoughts would be much appreicated! Thanks
P.S. I need a softsuit as well. Same deal, Irontanks have one for $95, yet you see SBD have ones for $130 and I have no idea what to look for or what to expect. Thanks again.
Can recommend a pair of chucks, were my 'lifting shoes'
Maybe even vans might work too
