READ MY REVIEW: thatfitfriend.com/tyr-l-1-lif...
The TYR L-1 Lifter got its claim to fame for being one of the first weightlifting shoes with a purposely wide toe box.
This was TYR's first ever weightlifting shoe and they were built in collaboration with Squat University - who is a big proponent of utilizing shoes for lifting with anatomical toe boxes.
As a fan of the TYR L-1 Lifter, and as a shoe nerd in general, I wanted to see what was inside this weightlifting shoe.
We know that most weightlifting shoes use a TPU midsole, but what does that actually mean and how does that look internally to create stability?
To find out, I cut my TYR L-1 Lifter in half to find out what was inside this popular weightlifting shoe.
I mostly wanted to know what the internal framework of this shoe looked like in addition to assessing if the materials seemed to be worth their price.
If you've ever wonder what's inside your weightlifting shoes and what gives them their stability, then this video is for you.
I thought the internal TPU structure was really interesting and I liked how the forefoot had rubber ribs to promote flexibility.
