Another Aussie!
There’s lots of lifting shoes available in Australia and I’m all about gear and blowing all my money on stuff and I think I can help you out.
What kind of shoe are you after or what will it be used for?Are you looking for a heeled squat shoe? Perhaps something flat/no heel and hard sole for both squat and deadlift?
-
A pair of chucks or similar style shoe is a classic and you’ll see lots of people lift in them and they are probably the cheapest decent lifting shoe you can get but IMO they aren’t really that good.
-
CityStrength has a nice selection of shoes from SABO (Russian brand that makes shoes for lifting) from 120-150ish dollars.
-
Adidas have mid tier lifting shoes which are decent but won’t destroy your bank account like the Adidas Powerlifts off Adidas.com.au (save 15% when you sign up)
-
againfaster.com.au has a decent selection
-
Of course there’s higher end shoes e.g. Nike Romaleos and Adidas Adipowers which are $200-300 so maybe not for you yet unless you really think you’ll commit to lifting for the long term. Between thewodlife.com.au, IronEdge and Nike.com.au you should find all the high end stuff
-
Some popular shoes like the Reebok Powerlifting one’s and the Metal powerlifting shoe are hard to get in Australia
Overseas is always an option and if you have the cash to splash the sometimes deadly delivery costs (depending on site) won’t really matter.
MaxBarbell is good. RogueFitness has expensive shipping
