Ideal weightlifting shoes have a snug fit and heel lifts that can support exertion. These sports shoes are expected to be heavier than running shoes, just enough to help the wearer drive power through their calf muscles. But not so heavy as to restrict movement.
Weightlifting shoes are usually built with midfoot straps and raised heels to ensure the wearer's feet are strapped in.
