adidas Power Perfect 3 vs Powerlift 3.1 - Where are the differences?

Let's have a look at the differences of the weightlifting shoes adidas Power Perfect 3 and Powerlift 3.1 in comparison.

Heel Higth

The heel height (blast) is the core element of every weightlifter shoe. Most models have a heel height of about 0.7". This corresponds to a blast of 17 millimeters. The paragraph height of the Power Perfect 3 is 25,0 mm. This means that the blast is higher than for the Powerlift 3.1 with 15,0 mm.

The right heel height depends a little bit on you personally. With long legs you should rather choose a higher heel height. In this case the adidas Power Perfect 3 would be the better choice.

The way you perform your squat also plays a role in the decision. If you have a tight stance as well as the high bar squat, a larger blast is recommended. Therefore the Power Perfect 3 is also the variant with the higher heel. With a wide stand or the low-bar squat, a flatter blast is more suitable. When comparing the adidas Power Perfect 3 and the adidas Powerlift 3.1 this would be the Powerlift 3.1.

Verschluss

Both shoes have laces for closure. Neither of the two models has a tension lock for extremely good hold. However, this is of more interest to the elite of weightlifters.
