Weightlifting shoes are made with high-quality, durable materials that can withstand the rigors of heavy lifting and frequent use.

Each manufacturer carefully selects and tests these materials to ensure that the shoes can withstand the stresses and strains of weightlifting, providing athletes with a reliable and long-lasting product.

In addition to the sturdy materials used in the construction of weightlifting shoes, they often feature other high-quality materials to enhance comfort, support, and durability. These may include foam padding, breathable lining, reinforced stitching, and others.

The tops of weightlifting shoes are typically made of materials such as leather, synthetic leather, or a tightly knit mesh, which are sturdy and resistant to wear and tear. Meanwhile, the soles are mostly made of thick rubber or similar materials with excellent elasticity.

Most commonly, the heel and midsole support is made of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), which is non-compressible but also light compared to something like a metal insert.
