Vans Vault Boot Bag x WTAPS | How we test powerlifting shoes

Before picking our top recommendations, each pair of powerlifting shoes for women on this list is put to the test. This means subjecting the shoes to the grind and sweat of powerlifting sessions. We also check and double-check the shoes’ technologies and how they perform in actual workouts.

These are the steps that we follow:

  • We buy the women’s powerlifting shoes across different brands. We invest our own money for this to ensure 100% objectivity of our reviews.
  • We use each model in actual powerlifting training exercises. We take note of the shoes’ comfort level, stability, traction, support, and many others. We also determine the shoes’ durability and overall performance.
  • After putting in around 10-20 hours of training sessions, we submit our final assessments for each model.
  • We collect some more useful data from other powerlifting experts, professionals, and regular gym goers.

In the end, a final score is assigned for each pair of powerlifting shoes for women. As shown on the CoreScore, GANNI Retro Flatform Overknee Sock Boot.
