The Nike Savaleos are the brand's most versatile weightlifting shoes, as they are also suitable for some cross-training workouts, such as WODs that combine gymnastic exercises with barbells. The wide, stiff sole characteristic of weightlifting shoes is present in the design of the Nike Savaleos, which, with a 12.7mm drop, ensures contact with the ground, facilitates movement technique and creates optimal power transfer from the base on every lift. While being a solid and stable shoe, the Nike Savaleos are lighter and more versatile than others in the same category to provide a little more comfort beyond the Olympic bar. More features of the Nike Savaleos for men and women: Lightweight. The slightly lower heel and single strap attachment are some of the most visible simplifications that reduce the overall weight of the Savaleos to improve your agility in weightless exercises. Innovative HSPU clip. Unlike any other weightlifting shoe on the market, Nike Savaleos feature HSPUs in their design and incorporate the signature heel clip found on Nike crosstraining shoes to minimize friction against the wall during handstand push-ups. Optimal traction. Non-slip rubber outsole to ensure grip. Cushioned support: the laces, wide strap and padded tongue allow for a snug, comfortable fit for maximum support around the entire foot.
