The Iron Tanks Deadlift Slippers are a completely minimalist design - offering an ultra low profile combined with a unique tacky outsole which provides a better setup than even barefoot lifting!

Using a uniformly flat outsole allows for maximum force transmission from the floor to the barbell, while providing the ultimate grip and security for conventional and sumo deadlifts.

Our slippers are superior to others as we've spent considerable time testing them using various combinations of materials to see what works and what doesn't in the gym and on the platform.

The key differences:

1. The Upper

The majority of deadlift slippers use a metatarsal strap to try prevent lateral displacement of the foot (ie: your foot slipping off the outsole). This occurs when the upper of the slipper is manufactured using an elasticated material that is too stretchy. This is not ideal, especially for those that deadlift in a sumo position. Even with the addition of a metatarsal strap, the foot can easily spill off the outsole and onto the floor. Not ideal at all mid-lift!

2. Tacky Outsole

The majority of slippers are made using either a regular slipper rubber outsole (which is too thick) or, they will use a suede outer. Suede has very little tack on the platform surface, and we found it slip on too many occasions under load. To combat this, our slippers feature a unique wafer thin RB tacky outsole that provides the most grip and traction when compared to any other slipper available.  

3. Soleless Design

We've removed the need for an innersole - which ensures the maximum amount of stability, the lowest profile so you're as close to the ground as possible, and to prevent any unnecessary slippage and movement.
