A flat base is common for strength training shoes as your feet have more stability to lift safely. That’s why powerlifting shoes and weightlifting shoes have a flat base too. The adidas Dropset 3 is the latest addition to the Dropset collection. It has a flat base, backed with a Traxion® outsole to add controlled stability to your lifts. Stability is key as shoes for strength training should be as stable as possible to engage the right muscles.

adidas’ GeoFit technology is a number of strategically placed cushions around the ankle area of the shoe. It’s used in adidas Dropset trainers' heel construction – in the support and lockdown to keep heels in position to lift. Good shoes for strength training require your feet to stay grounded, as you don’t want your feet slipping as you lift heavy weights. GeoFit technology is used in powerlifting shoes and crosstraining shoes too for the same reason.

There are two layers of foam in adidas Dropset trainer shoes. The stiffer midsole foam in the heel adds stability, and the softer foam in the forefront is for added comfort and flexibility. Combined, they add controlled stability you can trust throughout the most intense workout. Strength training shoes require comfort to block out distractions, and stability you can trust to lift heavy with good form. The adidas Dropset's dual-density midsoles tick both boxes, giving you the foundation for strength workouts.
