Barefoot Lifting Shoes

Bring Out the Full Potential of Your Workouts in Our Barefoot Lifting Shoes!

So much emphasis is put on the supplements you use, or the exercises you choose…but your footwear is just as important a decision for safety and performance. The right shoes provide the stability and support needed to safely increase intensity and tackle more demanding exercises. 

However, many traditional gym shoes feature thick soles and rigid designs that impede your natural foot movements and weaken your connection to the ground. In other words, they do more harm than good.

This is why you’re seeing more and more people kick their shoes off during squats or deadlifts to get a better feel for the ground and give each rep the full attention it deserves. Still, this poses safety risks to your feet and is typically not allowed in commercial gyms.

The good news? You can get the same feeling in our barefoot shoes for lifting! Hike Footwear combines the benefits of barefoot training with the necessary protection and adherence to gym policies. See firsthand why more than 235,000 people and counting rely on our barefoot shoes!

Why Choose Our Barefoot Shoes for Lifting?

There are many slip resistant barefoot shoes you can choose from - so what makes ours the #1 choice to support your workouts? Simple. We developed these alongside the assistance of orthopedists to ensure they addressed all the common pitfalls of traditional gym shoes. Here are a few of the key features that set them apart from the rest:

• Ultra-Thin Soles: The soles are thin enough to feel as if you’re wearing nothing at all, enhancing your balance and helping you execute lifts with precision. This is especially important for intense workouts associated with powerlifting or CrossFit, but anyone in the gym can benefit from this feature.
• Wide Toe Box: The spacious front of the shoe allows your toes to spread naturally, increasing your base of support and improving your ability to distribute weight evenly during squats, deadlifts, and other lifts where you need a stable base.
• Superior Grip: Durable, non-slip outsoles provide a solid grip on gym surfaces, preventing slips and enhancing safety when handling heavy weights.
• Flexible Design: The flexibility of our shoes promotes natural foot movement and accommodates dynamic motions typical in the gym, which is particularly beneficial for CrossFitters who need to effortlessly transition from lifting to running.
• Breathable Materials: The materials offer excellent airflow, so our barefoot lifting shoes keep your feet cool under pressure, reducing moisture and discomfort.

You can find both men's barefoot shoes and women’s barefoot shoes in a wide variety of styles and colors, from low to high top barefoot shoes. We even have barefoot shoes for kids who are getting into the gym at an early age!

So, take a look around and see which style catches your eye. You can shop with confidence no matter which pair you pick knowing it's backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
