Radix
Launched in April 2024, Radix is our newest product, and is definitively the premier barefoot shoe for lifters.
Aside from the wide toe box, which helps to improve stability and force generation, the shoe offers best-in-class traction thanks to our all-new Novus™ Griptech Rubber Compound.
The sole is 20% thinner than the leading barefoot shoe, and the Radix itself is 25% lighter than the average powerlifting shoe. The full body TPU cage and multi-layered heel support give you confidence-inspiring stability during your lifts.
It offers all of the benefits of a true minimalist barefoot shoe, but offers specific advantages tailored for strength training performance.
Our stickiest and most supportive model, Radix is extremely versatile and is perfect for someone who wants one shoe that can perform for every exercise.
Sumo Sole
Our Sumo Sole line is designed to offer the optimal blend of footwear characteristics that would aid in achieving a big sumo deadlift: aggressive traction, support, and ground feel, without sacrificing the minimalism that can only be given from a slipper.
The Sumo Sole line of footwear can be used for all lifts, including conventional deadlifts, squat, bench press, and accessories.

SUMO SOLE GEN 3
SSG3 is our flagship slipper, the third generation in our Sumo Sole line. It is designed with a foot-shaped wide toe box design, skidless herringbone traction pattern, upgraded heel cup, and supportive cup sole.
The wide toe box allows you to properly splay your toes, which improves stability and allows you to generate more force, while the skidless herringbone traction pattern ensures you remain fully planted.
Your foot rests "in" the cup sole, rather than "on," so the sidewalls rise up and wrap around your feet, preventing lateral spillage without causing discomfort.
This model is optimal for all lifters. It excels for both sumo and conventional pulls, and fares great for bench press and squats.

Sumo Sole Gen 1
SSG1 is the first slipper created in our Sumo Sole line. This line was created in response to our community's demands for a deadlift slipper with even greater traction and grip compared to our original slipper, the Notorious Lifters.
It features our original aggressive traction pattern and a high side lateral wall to prevent spillage in sumo deadlifts. These two features combine with our dual straps to provide a locked in, ultra grippy slipper that is a familiar staple within the powerlifting community.
This model is great for both conventional and sumo deadlifters who specifically want a very minimalist sock-like feel without sacrificing grip.
Notorious Lifters
Our Notorious Lifters line is where our roots in the powerlifting community began. The recipe is simple: an ultra thin and flat soled slipper that offers a close to the ground minimalist feel, a traditional foot shape, and added support from our signature dual straps.

Notorious Lifters Gen 2X
NLG2X builds upon the wide success of our Gen 2. Gen 2X brings welcome updates to this perennial top seller by providing better lateral support and an updated aesthetic, all while maintaining the minimalist feel of our original deadlift slipper.
NLG2X features a more supportive upper as well as a locked in heel cup for additional stability.
The close-to-the-floor sensation, sticky sole, and familiar toe box shape remain unchanged.
This model is great for both conventional and sumo deadlifters, as well as for squats.

Notorious Lifters Gen 2
This is the second iteration of our original deadlift slipper.
NLG2 features an ultra-thin, flexible and grippy sole that gets you as close as possible to the floor and maximizes ground sensory feedback. It is our most minimal, barefoot-feeling slipper designed to offer a good balance between minimalism, comfort, and grip.
Great for both conventional and sumo deadlifts, and for those looking for the most minimal and comfortable slipper available.
