adidas Powerlift 3.1 vs Powerlift 4 - Where are the differences?

Let's have a look at the differences of the weightlifting shoes adidas Powerlift 3.1 and Powerlift 4 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. Both shoes have a blast of 15,0 mm and therefore lie on the same level.

The right heel height depends a little bit on you personally. With long legs you should rather choose a higher heel height.

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. With a wide stand or the low-bar squat, a flatter blast is more suitable.

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.
