The AVANCUS Apex Power 1.5 is a continuation of AVANCUS' debut core barefoot shoe the Apex Power.
The Apex Power 1.5 features a similar silhouette and construction to the original Apex Power but with a few significant upgrades. The first upgrade is the Viziun Grip Tech on the outsole which is incredibly grippy.
In my AVANCUS Apex Power 1.5 review, I'll cover everything you should know before buying this shoe.

Overall, I've enjoyed the AVANCUS Apex Power 1.5 and see it as a great option for deadlifting and powerlifting.
I think if you're specific with your lifting needs and one of your core asks is a shoe with a ton of grip then you'll love the Apex Power 1.5, especially if you sumo deadlift.
This still isn't my favorite barefoot shoe for wearing casually, but for lifting with some versatile training, it's done a really good job.

Can I wear them for Olympic lifts. I need to find a shoe that works for wide slash flat feet . I get alot of arch pain and actual weightlifting shoes hurts my feet.

@thatfitfriend 5 месяцев назад

Yep! I rock these, Tolos Arch 2, and Motus Strength for cleans often.

@Gabe1439 4 месяца назад

Price aside are you choosing these or the vivo motus strengths?

@thatfitfriend 4 месяца назад

How do you train? If it’s at all with a versatile bias, I’d go Motus!

Is tyr barefoot shoe a good everything type of shoe?

@thatfitfriend 7 месяцев назад

It can be, I just don’t dig the straps for casual use/running but that’s a personal preference thing!

@kageofspades 4 месяца назад

Hey Jake, I am deciding on these (Avancus 1.5 or upcoming V2), Tolos 2.0, or the Notorious Lift Radix? I mainly do powerlifting and bodybuilding, so this would be a dedicated shoe - main problem is that the Avancus are sold out right now. Any suggestions for a good generalist shoe as well? I saw you mentioned that there are better generalist options and wondering what you recommend. Looks and breathability are important to me. Thanks!

@thatfitfriend 4 месяца назад

In that case, I'd go Tolos 2 or the 1HUND Aerolux. They're both sick and walk that generalist line really well.

Hi Jake, the avancus v2 is coming out tomorrow. In regards to sizing, I have a E size foot (wide) and have a foot thar measures exactly at 25cm (us 8). I recently bought the new notorius lift radix at at size of eu 40 (25cm) and found them to be short as my toe was squashed by the end of the shoe even with in soles taken out so I gave them away. I want to get a pair of avancus tomorrow but am struggling to decide whether to get another size eu 40 (25.2cm) because i heard they run long or size eu 41 (25.9cm) because of the size reccomendation. I always take in soles off to feel the ground better. What do you think I should pick? Thank you 😁

@Choatsy 3 месяца назад

I wear a 10-10.5 depending on sneaker brand ie 10 in hokas and 10.5 new balance and asics and got their 10-10.5 (44) and they fit like a glove with the insole. To me they fit very true to size for american size, but based on eu size theyre a size small.

@thatfitfriend 3 месяца назад

Yeah, the Radix run short, I just commented on that in my first impressions and in a Short. Those are def a shoe to size up a .5-1 full size in. For the Apex Power, I think you'd be fine with either option, imo. I have a bunch of room at the end of my pair, which I'm hit or miss on. That said, think you're safe with either option, but since you like taking the insole out the 40 likely wouldn't feel snug for you; however, if you want more space to be safe going with a 41 wouldn't be a bad call, imo! Think you're fine either war and I'd go based on your fit preferences.

@malfi749 3 месяца назад

@thatfitfriend okay, thank you! i reached to avancus and recommended eu 41 so hopefully it works out!

How do you rate them for squats?

@UnknownUser-fg3fs 6 месяцев назад

These or barefoot socks for conventional deadlifts ?

@thatfitfriend 6 месяцев назад

Whatever you prefer, tbh! If your gym isn't down with socks then these, but otherwise, it's whatever you like tuggin' in. I wouldn't overthink it unless you're having slip issues in socks or your gym is yelling at you.
