High Quality Items
The shoes are perfect for someone who's used to squatting and deadlifting without shoes for the flattest platform.
The singlet and shirt are of a high quality too.
Overall the items were a good value and definitely have a quality that exceeds the price I paid.

Avancus has changed my lifting career for the better. As a powerlifter, the grip for all three lifts, when you need stability and push, has been tremendous in performance. These are the best shoes for lifters and workouts in general. Comfy, snug, and reliable.

“I competed at Worlds and Asians wearing Avancus shoes, and honestly… they are the BEST lifting shoes I’ve ever used. Solid grip, perfect stability, and zero compromise on comfort even under heavy loads. They supported me through my biggest platform moments, and I trust them completely on the platform.
Now I don’t just want one pair — I want Avancus in every color 🤩🔥
If you’re serious about lifting, these are it.”

One shoe to rule them all
I’ve just recently gotten back into the sport of powerlifting after 8+ years pursuing other things. Before the break, I tried just about every flat lifting shoe out there: the Reebok Power shoe, Sabos of various models, Nike Metcons, deadlift slippers, you name it. I didn’t quite like any of them. They were either too stiff, too wide, allowed your foot to roll over the sides, had too much or too little of a sole, didn’t have enough grip, etc. As soon as I got back into training SBD hard again, I picked up a pair of the Apex V3s and they are by far the best lifting shoe I’ve ever worn and probably will ever wear. The fit is snug, but comfortable. The sole is minimal, but solid enough to keep your foot in place. The grip is absolutely unmatched. Worth every penny and more. I couldn’t recommend them enough.

By far the best lifting shoes I’ve tried. I’m usually a barefoot lifter, but I love how minimal these feel. They give that barefoot feel with a really solid added grip. Can’t wait to wear these and hit some PRs at my next comp 😊

Hi-tops
Absolutely love my hi-tops. Phenomenal grip with wide toe box. Amazing products. I just wish they had more color options for the hi-tops.

Great shoes. Purchased them for working out, but ended buying a few more for daily wear and work. I stand a lot on my feet at work and these are it for me.

Thank you for the great review! We’re glad the shoes are working well for both training and everyday wear 🙌
Instagram ads got me but I’m super impressed!
The shoes look and feel great! Love the extra wide toebox especially for squatting! I do have pretty narrow feet so these could feel huge on others with narrow feet. My one con (barely even a con), but the grip of the soles are definitely less grippy than what I am used to from a competing brand, but they still have pretty good grip. This was most noticeable while sumo deadlifting but didn’t really affect my lifts!
