Ronin Lifters
The Ronin Lifters are the ultimate wide toe box squat shoe, perfectly calibrated to offer the perfect balance of space for proper toe splay without allowing for unwanted movement inside the shoe.
Ronin Lifters
The Ronin Lifters were engineered with a 20mm heel-to-toe drop that ensures effortless depth during squats. The non-compressible midsole and strapping system ensure the foot is fully locked in and secure under load.
The Novus™ rubber outsole is a first of its kind, offering unrivaled grip in the heeled lifting shoe category. It ensures you remain properly rooted in place for both squats and bench press.
The Ronin Lifters are designed for squatting and bench pressing only.
Radix
The Radix line is designed to offer all of the benefits of a true minimalist barefoot shoe, but incorporate specific features tailored specifically for strength training performance.
Radix is extremely versatile and can be used for all exercises, including squat, bench, deadlift, accessories, and dynamic movements.
Radix
Launched in April 2024, Radix is the premier barefoot shoe for lifters.
Aside from the wide toe box, which helps to improve stability and force generation, the shoe offers best-in-class traction thanks to our proprietary Novus™ Griptech Rubber Compound.
The sole is 20% thinner than the leading barefoot shoe, and the Radix itself is 25% lighter than the average powerlifting shoe. The full body TPU cage and multi-layered heel support give you confidence-inspiring stability during your lifts.
It offers all of the benefits of a true minimalist barefoot shoe, but offers specific advantages tailored for strength training performance.
Extremely sticky and supportive, Radix is perfect for someone who wants one shoe that can perform for every exercise.
Sumo Sole
Our Sumo Sole line is designed to offer the optimal blend of footwear characteristics that would aid in achieving a big sumo deadlift: aggressive traction, support, and ground feel, without sacrificing the minimalism that can only be given from a slipper.
Despite the name, the Sumo Sole line of footwear can be used for all lifts, including conventional deadlifts, squat, bench press, and accessories.
SUMO SOLE GEN 4
The Sumo Sole Gen 4 by Notorious Lift features a completely redesigned anatomically shaped sole that delivers outstanding grip on all surfaces, thanks to advanced Novus 2.0™ grip technology.
Its ultra-low stack height is engineered to optimize your positioning and provide a seamless connection to the floor, giving lifters better stability and feedback. For enhanced security, the shoe employs superior midfoot lockdown through signature dual straps.
The flexible construction and ultra-thin sole allow for completely unrestricted movement, while high side walls and layered heel support are designed to minimize unwanted lateral movement, making the Sumo Sole Gen 4 ideal for powerlifting and movements requiring maximum stability and flexibility.
Notorious Lifters
Our Notorious Lifters line is where our roots in the powerlifting community began. The recipe is simple: an ultra thin and flat soled slipper that offers a close to the ground minimalist feel, a traditional foot shape, and added support from our signature dual straps.
Notorious Lifters Gen 2X
NLG2X builds upon the wide success of our original deadlift slipper. Gen 2X brings welcome updates by providing better lateral support and an updated aesthetic, all while maintaining the minimalist feel our community knows and loves.
NLG2X features a more supportive upper as well as a locked in heel cup for additional stability.
The close-to-the-floor sensation, sticky sole, and familiar toe box shape remain unchanged.
This model is great for both conventional and sumo deadlifters, as well as for squats.
