1. Can I try Notorious Lift Ronin Lifters in Singapore?
Yes you can try Notorious Lift Ronin Lifters and make an on the spot purchase at our Singapore outlet located at 369A Joo Chiat Road S427614 The Strength Yard. Details of our store operating hours can be seen here.
2. Do Ronin Lifters run small or true to size?
Ronin Lifters run slightly small. We recommend sizing up by 1 EU size compared to your Notorious Lift slipper size, or 1/2 US size up from your normal athletic shoe size. For example, if you wear EU 42 in our slippers, order EU 43 in Ronin Lifters.
3. What is the heel height of Ronin Lifters?
Ronin Lifters feature a 20mm heel‑to‑toe drop (approximately 0.8 inches). This height is optimized for powerlifting squats—it improves ankle dorsiflexion, helps maintain an upright torso, and allows for greater depth without compromising stability
4. Are Ronin Lifters approved for competition use?
Yes. Ronin Lifters are approved for use in all global Powerlifting and Strongman federations, including the IPF (International Powerlifting Federation), USAPL, USPA, Powerlifting America, CPU, Strongman Corporation, and the World Raw Powerlifting Federation. They meet all footwear requirements for equipped and raw divisions.
5. Can I wear Ronin Lifters for deadlifts or other lifts?
Ronin Lifters are designed primarily for squats, bench, and exercises such as overhead presses or olympic movements where a heeled shoe provides a mechanical advantage. For deadlifts, we recommend a flat‑soled shoe like Radix Pro or Sumo Sole Gen 4 for better ground contact and lower heel height.
6. How wide is the toe box compared to other squat shoes?
Ronin Lifters have a precision‑engineered wide toe box that allows natural toe splay without excessive lateral movement. It’s wider than traditional heeled squat shoes (like Adidas Adipower or Nike Romaleos) but maintains enough sidewall support for stability during heavy lifts.
7. What makes Novus 2.0™ Griptech different from regular rubber?
Novus 2.0™ Griptech is a proprietary rubber compound developed for maximum traction on all surfaces—wood platforms, rubber flooring, even concrete. It’s 30% grippier than standard rubber and retains its stickiness across temperature ranges.
8. Can I use Ronin Lifters for CrossFit or dynamic training?
While Ronin Lifters excel in stable, heavy lifts, they are not ideal for box jumps, running, or dynamic CrossFit movements due to the 20mm heel. For versatile training that includes lifting and conditioning, consider Radix Pro—our premium barefoot‑style shoe.
9. How do I clean and care for my Ronin Lifters?
Hand wash only. Soak in cold water with a small amount of liquid laundry detergent, scrub gently with a soft‑bristle toothbrush (upper first, then sole), rinse thoroughly, and air‑dry away from direct heat. **Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
10 What if I have wide feet—will Ronin Lifters still fit?
Yes. The wide toe box and adjustable dual‑strap closure accommodate moderate to wide foot shapes. If you have exceptionally wide feet, consider sizing up an additional half‑size for comfort across the metatarsal region.
11. How long do Ronin Lifters typically last with regular use?
With proper care, Ronin Lifters maintain structural integrity for 2‑4 years of regular training (2-3 sessions per week). The Novus 2.0 outsole and reinforced heel counter are designed to withstand heavy loading without premature breakdown.
