Technical Performance FootwearEngineered For Your
Deepest Squat.
27mm heel height for deeper squats, zero wobble, and perfect bar positioning.
WHAT MAKES FOOST LIFTER DIFFERENT
Built around three core principles: extreme depth, zero energy loss, and lateral lockdown.
27 mm Heel Height
Optimal 27.0 mm heel height that supports deeper squats and helps lifters with limited ankle mobility achieve better positioning.
Incompressible Sole
Full hard TPU sole for maximum force transfer. No energy lost to cushioning. Just a solid, stable base for heavy lifts and Olympic movements.
C-Frame Stability
Proprietary TPU stability frame that wraps the midfoot to prevent knee collapse during heavy squats, cleans, and snatches.
ENGINEERED FOR OLYMPIC LIFTS & HEAVY SQUATS
Weightlifting shoes are more than footwear, they're a performance tool. FOOST Lifter combines a biomechanically engineered 27mm heel height, a rigid TPU C-Frame, and a fully incompressible sole to create absolute stability during your heaviest lifts.
The result: more consistent technique, better depth in the bottom position of squats, and maximum force transfer into the barbell.

The 27mm Mobility Advantage
No Ankle Mobility? No Problem.
By increasing the heel-to-toe drop to 27mm, we allow the knees to track further forward while maintaining a vertical torso. This is critical for staying upright in the bottom of a clean or front squat.
Bottom Position Impact:
- · Deeper ATG Depth
- · Upright Squat Patterns
- · Zero Heel Lift
- · Instant Reception

Athlete.
Weightlifting is a sport of millimeters. Every bit of compression, every fraction of a second in the transition, and every degree of ankle mobility matters.
We engineer performance footwear for athletes who demand stability, precision, and power. Each FOOST product is designed with biomechanics in mind and tested under real training conditions, from Olympic weightlifting platforms to heavy strength sessions and high-intensity workouts.
