Hybrid™ Heel Lift Inserts (Pair) (Medium) - Ideal for Cross Training, metcons, wods, Functional Fitness, HIIT, Squats, plyometrics

I purchased these lifts because of some third party websites that recommended them for crossfit. I appreciate that the bottoms have some small cleats to prevent the lifts from sliding. In testing the cleats seem to accomplish this pretty well. No issues with them sliding. Note the bottom of these is a bit waffle pattern/hollow. When i tested these with 275 on bb squat, the lifts appear to bend a bit into more of a natural heel cup, which I actually prefer for increasing heel stability. The downside is you might loose a mm of the advertised lift. Again this is okay, because with regular weightlifting trainer shoes, too high a lift can lift you out of the heel box of the shoe. In testing, I personally found these lifts helped my range of motion with squat and cleans. I plan to take them out for cardio and all other gym lifts besides squat, clean, and snatch.

Great design and quality. Slides right into my blazers and sits snugly against the heel. Has a very gradual slope that matches actual lifters, making the transition from the heel to the forefoot extremely natural, and the half inch raise is a great compromise to turn flats into lifters. I have super flat feet, 0 arch at all. Not really related as this only raises the heel, but it works well for me despite my flat feet.

When you first put it on it feels hard, within a minute you don't notice it's there anymore, except that of course you are squatting much better because of the heel lift. This saved my TYR sneakers that I was avoiding for any workout with squats. Now I can squat in my favorite sneakers! Highly recommend. I am female size 41 and bought M.

So I’ve always used Olympic lifting shoes for the elevated heel, but all 3 of the shoes I’ve had don’t give me enough height to really notice(my mobility in my ankles sucks lol). After adding these to my squat shoes it’s night and day difference.. I can’t comfortably get into the bottom of a squat easily. Add them to your existing squat shoes!

These are so good. I struggle to hit squat depth in competition, and these buy me that extra inch.

I have oly shoes and these inserts work as intended. Squatting was pretty comfortable and solid. I'm doing the supersquat program and I know these will help me a lot. If you don't want to bring your squat shoes to the gym or forgot them, you might just bring these your pocket and have no worries. If you don't want to pay for a olympic weightlifting shoe, these are the best bang for your buck.

These are easily added for help with range of motion in hips/ankles for those needing a bit of assistance. I'm not sure why I waited so long to get them. Made a world of difference for me over the last few months. They absolutely do NOT replace mobility work, but they absolutely DO supplement mobility work. They do shift a bit if worn above the shoe insert and, for me, add too much weight to use for jumping, etc. However, for pure lifting (squats and Olympic lifts) they definitely can help those of us who lack full range of motion. Also, worth noting the company reached out shortly after purchase to ask if the product was okay, or if there were any issues. As a consumer, I really appreciated that.

I got these inserts for my shoes because I wanted to ease my way to a higher heel and would eventually be getting lifters. These inserts have really helped me in my lifts, especially front squats. The heel height isn't too high so the changes don't really throw you off, but you can still feel the difference in your lifts. I also wear these for front squats, goblet squats, or wall balls during a workout and they have really helped. I even used them during a workout with double unders and had no issues. Would definitely recommend if you want something to help you slowly transition to lifters or if you need a little extra something for your conditioning WODs.

In workouts where there are front squats, squat cleans, thrusters etc as well as double unders, these make life easier! Absolutely amazing

Nearly as good as actual Olympic weightlifting shoes - but cheaper and far more portable. You don’t get quite as much heel elevation, but it makes a big difference compared to flat shoes. If you’re lifting fairly heavy I’d consider the strength (grey) version of these instead - they compress a little less which is great for squats but it also means they’re not as comfortable to walk in as the standard ones.

Ich spüre in den Übungen den Quad besser. Ist jetzt erstmal eine Umgewöhnung, aber mal sehen wie es danach so läuft.

Love them! They helped with all lifting in WOD's

Ich denke die meisten Schuhe sind zu niedrig um die Dinger zu verwenden. Meine x2 funktionieren aber es ist wirklich die Grenze bevor man rausrutscht. Für statisches Gewichtheben im WoD aber gut.
