The Reebok Legacy Lifter 3 is a shoe that’s been built with heavy lifting firmly in mind. Offering great stability and a locked-in feel that keeps you firmly gripped to the ground at all times, these shoes allow you to push yourself to your absolute weight-lifting limit.

A hard, reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) heel clip is central to the Legacy Lifter 3’s design. It essentially anchors you to the ground by the heels, which is a big plus when you’re lifting. However, the thick, heavy feel of the shoes means they’re not the most comfortable when you’re walking between machines in the gym (a common sacrifice made with specialist weight-lifting trainers).

We tried out these shoes in Reebok’s Core Black colour scheme, which is a bold, eye-catching design. A thick velcro strap provides a snug fit and keep the shoelaces tucked neatly away when you’re exercising.

However, the bulkiness of these gym shoes might not be to everyone’s tastes. One thing you definitely don’t want to do is use the Legacy Lifter 3 for a more generalised workout. Ultimately, they’re just too heavy for cardio workouts or any other exercises that require you to be light on your feet.

However, if you’re gearing up for a day of heavy lifting, you’ll do well to find a better option than the Reebok Legacy Lifter 3. If your main priority is a strong, stable base, this is the shoe for you.
