CASUAL ATHLETES
One major benefit of weightlifting shoes is a raised heel, which provides a mechanical advantage when athletes execute squat movements. The additional height helps to overcome range of motion limitations that can be associated with tight ankles, long femurs, or other anatomic issues that make it more difficult for an individual to achieve full squat depth while maintaining an upright torso position. That is the long way of saying they make it easier to squat deep.
While many athletes do find achieving an appropriate squat depth to be difficult, not every athlete wants or needs to invest in lifting shoes. Adding a pair of wodLIFTS to your favorite pair of functional fitness appropriate shoes provides an inexpensive solution that provides immediate performance gains for strength training and metcon workouts.
