Castiron Lift PowerLifter 2 — Unisex Weightlifting Shoe

Castiron Lift PowerLifter 2 — Unisex Weightlifting Shoe

You've moved past beginner weights. Your squat is loaded, your technique is dialled, and your gear needs to keep pace. The PowerLifter 2 is built for lifters who are progressing and need a weightlifting shoe that performs at their level — 35mm elevated heel, rigid TPU-and-rubber sole, and a dual strap closure that locks your foot in place from warm-up to max attempt. Green, Black, or Pink. One standard. Every lift.

The 35mm heel raise shifts your centre of gravity forward, allowing deeper squat depth with an upright torso — the same heel height used in elite competition shoes. The non-compressible rubber-and-TPU sole transfers every watt of force directly into the floor. The double hook-and-loop strap system gives you a fast, secure fit that stays locked under load. The breathable microfiber upper keeps your foot structured and ventilated through every set. This is the step-up squat shoe for lifters who are serious about the platform.

Why the PowerLifter 2?

The 35mm heel is the mechanical advantage that separates serious lifters from everyone else. It compensates for ankle mobility limitations, reduces forward lean in the squat, and increases quad activation through the descent and drive. The PowerLifter 2 delivers that advantage in a shoe built to last — rigid sole, locked-in dual strap, structured upper that holds its shape set after set. For lifters who are progressing through intermediate and advanced loads and need a barbell shoe that keeps pace. One standard. Every lift.

Best For

• Back squat, front squat, and overhead squat
• Olympic weightlifting — snatch, clean & jerk
