SIZING RECOMMENDATIONS
For most customers, Radix Pro fits true to US shoe size.
If unsure, or if between sizes, we recommend ordering the next size up for more comfort. If the shoe ends up being just slightly too loose, the optional insole can be inserted into the shoe, which will also provide more underfoot cushioning.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Hand Wash: Soak in a mixture of cold water and liquid laundry detergent. Use a soft bristle toothbrush to scrub the upper, then the sole. Once clean, rinse and air dry.
Do not tumble dry.

Ultimate comfort
DUAL-LAYER UPPER
The soft Lycra liner runs from heel to toe, offering enhanced comfort and padding throughout the shoe. The outer mesh layer offers durability and structure, while retaining the shoe's breathable and lightweight qualities.
FEATHER LIGHT
Despite the added stability and grip from our improved sole, and the extensive padding throughout the shoe, Radix Pro maintains an ultra-light feel thanks to its use of lightweight materials such as TPU and mesh.
MORE STABLE THAN EVER
The sole has extended flanges and raised lateral walls at the outside edge of the shoe which creates a wider sole base.
This improves stability and eliminates lateral spillage during squats, sumo deadlifts, and dynamic exercises.
Novus™ 3.0 Griptech
The high performance Radix Pro outsole is 2mm thin, with a 1.3mm tread depth. The total stack height of only 3.3mm make Radix and Radix Pro the thinnest and most sensory barefoot shoes on the market.
Our newest specially formulated high-friction rubber compound aggressively bites into the ground surface, offering 15% greater grip and 10% more durability compared to our previous generation. The sole, while still flexible, offers greater rigidity and lateral support compared to the original Radix.
Still "Barefoot."
Despite the pro features, Radix Pro maintains the flexibility, comfort, and health benefits that a true "barefoot shoe" offers.
Zero drop. Wide toe box. No arch support. Lightweight & Non-Restrictive.
Radix Pro - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between Radix Pro and regular Radix?
Radix Pro is our premium, feature‑enhanced barefoot‑style training shoe. It includes Novus 3.0™ Griptech (more flexible and grippier than Novus 2.0), a dual‑layer breathable upper, and an even more breathable and lightweight construction. Radix is the versatile, more affordable entry‑point; Radix Pro is the high‑performance upgrade.
Can I squat, deadlift, and do conditioning in Radix Pro?
Absolutely. Radix Pro is designed as a true one‑shoe solution for powerlifters who also incorporate conditioning, agility work, or CrossFit‑style training. The ultra‑thin (3.3mm) sole provides ground feel for deadlifts, while the wide toe box and secure fit handle heavy squats.
Are Radix Pro shoes good for wide feet?
Yes. Radix Pro has a generously wide toe box that allows full toe splay, making it ideal for lifters with wide feet or those transitioning from conventional shoes to barefoot‑style footwear. The engineered knit upper adapts to your foot shape over time.
Do Radix Pro shoes have arch support?
No. Radix Pro features a completely flat, neutral insole with zero arch support—this encourages natural foot musculature engagement and proper force transfer. If you require arch support, you can insert your own orthotic, though it may slightly reduce ground feel.
How does Novus 3.0™ Griptech compare to previous versions?
Novus 3.0™ is slightly more rigid (offering more support) and 15% grippier than Novus 2.0. It provides exceptional traction on wood, rubber, and turf while maintaining the barefoot “feel” of the ground. It’s also more durable—resisting abrasion from rope climbs, sled drags, turf and concrete.
Can I wear Radix Pro outside the gym?
Yes. Radix Pro’s minimalist design and street‑ready aesthetics make it suitable for casual wear, walking, and light hiking. However, the thin sole offers little cushion for prolonged pavement pounding—it’s optimized for gym performance first.
Do Radix Pro shoes stretch over time?
The engineered knit upper will minimally conform to your foot shape after 5‑10 wears, but it does not stretch significantly in length or width. Choose your true size based on our sizing guide; the material becomes more comfortable without losing lockdown.
What activities should I avoid in Radix Pro?
Avoid long‑distance running (lack of cushion), extreme cold weather (thin material provides little insulation), and heavy mud/rock terrain (the thin sole isn’t protective against sharp objects). For those activities, choose purpose‑built footwear.
How do I clean the knit upper on Radix Pro?
Remove the insoles, hand‑wash in cold water with mild detergent, gently scrub soiled areas with a soft brush, rinse thoroughly, and air‑dry away from direct sunlight. **Do not machine wash or dry**—the knit may lose its shape.
Are Radix Pro shoes federation‑approved for competition?
Yes. Radix Pro meets all federation footwear requirements for powerlifting, strongman, and weightlifting where flat‑soled shoes are allowed. They are approved for use in IPF, USAPL, USPA, PA, and all other federations.
