Size Guide


SABO Heavy Duty shoes are built on the European size system and come in whole EU sizes only (no half sizes, size 36 - 47). 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 7-15mm of space between the toe and the top of the shoe. For most people, this is ideal.

EU US men's US women's
36 4.5 - 5 women's
37 5.5 - 6 women's
38 4.5 - 5 6.5 - 7 women's
39 5.5 - 6 7.5 - 8 women's
40 6.5 - 7 8.5 - 9 women's
41 7.5 - 8 9.5 - 10 women's
42 8.5 - 9 10 - 10.5 women's

Built on the SABO Deadlift PRO platform, the Heavy Duty are a step up in terms of stability and support. Durable strap, flat stable outsole, increased grip on the platform, a tight and close fit. They also have a strong back loop to make putting them on easier.  They also comes with two insoles: a denser insole to provide arch support and for competition, and a softer regular insole for comfort.

Please note - compared to the Deadlift PRO, the Heavy Duty have a more rigid outsole and a tighter fit. 

Main Features:
  • EU Sizing - Whole European (EU) sizes. No half sizes. If in-between sizes, we recommend sizing up to the next whole size. 
  • Anatomical shape - The shoe lasts have a natural anatomical shape and rounded internal heel bottom that securely envelopes the heel.
  • Two insoles - A thin, softer insole that provides a cover over the seams of the bottom sole.  And a denser, hard insole suitable for competition and provides better arch support. 
  • 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, squats and almost any Heavy Duty lifting. 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.
  • Synthetic leather upper - vegan-friendly.
  • The Heavy Duty is also exceptionally versatile and is perfect for squatting (if you need a flat sole) and bench press.  They are the ideal shoe for Strongman/woman training and competition. 
  • While these shoes look like they have a heel, they do not.  The appearance of a heel is due to the reinforced heel counter

I was already a fan of the Deadlift Pro and this is a step up. Stiffer uppers for more support, really feel locked into the floor.

They’re great on deadlift but also amazing for squats if you prefer a flat shoe.

Nice wide toe box, too.

Highly recommended.

Thanks for your continued support and the review, Will! Wishing you all the best with your training!

Great stability!

I measured as described on the web site and ordered size 45, which turned out to be a little too short. Exchanged or size 46, which fit perfectly. Customer Service was very responsive and the exchange was handled quickly.
I bought these shoes primarily for squats, and boy, have they delivered. VERY stable! Many years ago I squatted with Nike Olympic shoes. When I went to a low bar, wide stance squat I switched to Chucks for a zero drop flat sole, and lately I had been using Asics wrestling shoes. The Chucks and Asics had the flat zero drop sole, but weren’t as stable as I wanted. I wanted the stability of an OLY shoe, with a flat zero drop sole and roomy toe box. The SABO Heavy Duty checked all the boxes. Also great for conventional stance deadlift, for all the same reasons. I couldn’t be happier with these shoes, and MAXbarbell!

Glad these worked out for you William and thank you so much for the review.
