The first shoe in the SABO Pro Series. The SABO Deadlift Pro is based on new ideas and years of research. The word "Deadlift" on the ankle strap is a bit of a misnomer because these shoes are incredible for flat shoe squats and bench press. They are also phenomenal for deadlifting of course! A true Powerlifting shoe.

Main Features:

EU Sizing - Totally new shoe lasts, utilizing European (EU) size system. Half sizes.

Anatomical shape - The shoe lasts have a natural anatomical shape and rounded internal heel bottom that securely envelopes the heel.

Minimalist insole - A thin, removable insole supports the arch and provides a cover over the seams of the bottom sole.

Heel height - All the shoes of the PRO Series have a small heel drop of 1 mm. This innovation allows for a cambered heel design, similar to the camber in snow skis, when the lifter’s weight is added to the shoe, the heel flattens distributing the weight more evenly, over a wider surface area. This provides a more planted feeling and better heel drive.

Toe box - Nice and wide to allow for toe splay.

Innovative outsole - Completely new shoe outsole is designed for perfect deadlifts. It has some unique features:

durable but very thin, barefoot feel at 5mm thick.
non-compressible.
wider bottom provides extra support and stability.
high board in the heel and on the toe side for better foot hold, minimizing slipping and foot rolling. Superior sumo pulling performance.
spherical heel zone to improve weight distribution.

Grip - The design, components and pattern of the bottom sole are designed to get better grip, comfort, durability and weight transmission.

Wide metatarsal strap - 40mm on (sizes 40-47.5) / 30mm on (sizes 36-39.5). New durable velcro. Provides superior support locking your foot into position.

Breathable mesh & synthetic suede - vegan-friendly.

The Deadlift PRO is also exceptionally versatile and is perfect for squatting (if you need a flat sole) and bench press.

While these shoes look like they have a heel, they do not. The appearance of a heel is due to the reinforced heel counter

Size Guide

SABO Deadlift Pro shoes are built on the European size system and come in half sizes (size 36 - 47.5 EU). The table below shows the conversion of European to US mens's sizes. Since every foot is three-dimensional and varies across many different areas (such as width, instep etc), conversion tables can only approximate your true shoe size. In general, the conversions below will give you about 10-15mm of space between the toe and the top of the shoe. For most people, this is ideal. If you prefer less space, we recommend sizing down a half or full size.

Back to Non-Clearance SABO

Fits to true size. I can spread out my toes. They are not crunched up.

Game Changers

TLDR: Ordered a size up like normal because wide feet: fit perfectly with no side hang about 3/4 inch extra length, plenty of room in toe box. Incredible grip and support. Amazing shoe.

The grip on the shoes made me realize just how much effort I was having to put into keeping my feet/ankles stable during my lifts. They grip even the most slippery garbage of platforms and they are incredibly supportive. I have to buy my shoes a size up just to fit the width of my mid-foot (I bought these a size up as well) and they arent tight on my mid foot at all like most shoes even a size up still are if I tighten the strings anywhere past snug. These are so comfy on my foot even if I bear down on the shoelaces, and are just mind-blowingly amazing. Other reviews have said that the straps dont make a difference, but the straps are also incredibly supportive. I had to loosen for squats for mobility. I have thin ankles and the strap does hit the velcro, so they have fixed some of the older reviews complaints about the ankle strap going past the velcro. My only complaint would be that the body is so stiff walking around in them can be a bit uncomfortable, but I haven't even used these things a whole week yet so once they're broken in I'm sure they'll be fine. I loved them so much I had to come write this review immediately. I think they were a better purchase than my leather 10 mm powerlifting belt. They jumped ahead of my belt and my SBD 7mm knee sleeves on my fave list.

New barefoot

Ordered my regular size 11 euro 44 perfect fit about 1/4 inch in front of big toe. The fit and feel on the sole feels like my barefoot morels I had been using, but this feels more supportive. The sole is grippy stuck to my mdf platform no movement.
I do everything in flats ohp, squat, dl, bench and I feel safer. Nice engineering dropping the heel to give arch support. Wow Maxbarbell delivers super fast, thank!

In love

I've only had them for a day, but I have yet to take them off. I have had 2 brain surgeries to resection an inoperable tumor that has reeked havoc on my balance. The stability and support of these is unreal and incredibly comfortable. Tuesday will be their first platform experience, I can't wait!

Love for Squats

Third pair of sabos. I have the goodlifts and first gen deadlift shoes. These are a notch better than anything else I have trained with and perfect for squats. Heel support is phenomenal.
