adidas · Squat + beginner
A lower-heel entry point with a strap, stable wedge, and approachable transition from trainers.
Adidas lists a 15 mm heel lift and 34 mm stack height for Powerlift 5 style JP6198, while its gym-shoe guide describes a 16 mm lift for Powerlift 5. Confirm the specification for the exact style you select. In either case, total stack height and heel-to-toe elevation are different measurements.
Use this model to investigate a less pronounced heel before deciding whether to try more elevation. It remains a dedicated lifting shoe, not a zero-drop deadlift shoe or a running trainer. Judge the resulting squat setup and fastening together rather than choosing solely from a numerical range.
