Nordic Lifting VENJA Weightlifting Shoes

Nordic Lifting VENJA Weightlifting Shoes are lifting shoes with a 2.8 cm (1.1 in) raised heel, a non-slip sole and a hook-and-loop strap over the laces, built for squats, Olympic lifts and mixed gym workouts. They come in US sizes 7 to 12, with a premium shoe box and a 1-year warranty against manufacturer defects.

Key features

• 2.8 cm (1.1 in) raised heel made for squats, cleans, snatches and other barbell work.
• Non-slip outsole for grip on gym floors and lifting platforms.
• Hook-and-loop strap plus laces to lock the midfoot in place.
• PU upper with mesh panels and a cotton lining for breathability.
• EVA sole that stays stable under the bar yet lets you move for lunges and box jumps.

Who they are for

• Lifters who want one shoe for squats, Olympic lifts and general strength training.
• Mixed training with lunges, box jumps and barbell complexes. They are also great for CrossFit® workouts.
• Not designed for running: VENJA is built for stability, not cushioning.
• Training mostly heavy powerlifting squats and deadlifts? Compare the MEGIN Powerlifting Shoes.

Sizing and fit

Stand on a sheet of paper, trace your foot and measure from the heel to the tip of your longest toe. Match that length to the chart below. If you are between sizes, or have wide feet, go half a size up. The strap and laces let you fine-tune how snug the midfoot feels.
