Quick Overview

The Official Sponsors of USA Weightlifting!


Engineered and designed by actual weightlifting coaches and competitors, Risto Sports Olympic lifting shoes are guaranteed to help you lift big. All Risto shoes are hand made of high quality leather by artisans in Colombia, a USA ally. These shoes have a lower carbon footprint as they are made of all local materials. The heel is made of a solid wood platform and is finished with rubber for an excellent grip. Unlike other shoes with a fixed heel height, the heel on a Risto shoe is proportional to the size of the shoe with a size 9 mens shoe having roughly a 1" heel. The toe box is made of molded leather, featuring a work boot like fit in the toe area and run wider than average athletic shoes.



New for the Summer of 2010 is the Risto Series 2 Shoe in White Thunder. These shoes are of the same handmade quality and feel as the previous model of Ristos but come with an updated design and a more comfortable overall fit. These are THE MOST comfortable weightlifting shoes on the market. As with all Ristos, these shoes are made of high quality leather and a solid wood block heel that is proportional to the size of the shoe. A size 40 Risto shoe will have an "actual heel height" of around 1"; respectively smaller sizes will have a lower heel and larger size a higher heel. These shoe feel more like wear a light work boot and run slightly wider than an average athletic shoe.


How to Select Your Size Using the Risto Sizing Chart


Measure your bare foot from heel to toe. The easiest way to do this is place your foot against a wall and measure from the wall to the end of your big toe. Add 1 centimeter OR a ½ inch to your measured heel to toe foot length. Look for the closest number to this in the "Interior Shoe Length" columns of the Sizing Chart. Scroll across to the left to see what the Risto Size is at that measurement. (If you fall between two sizes it is usually best to round up and select the larger size.)


In other words, you want to order a shoe that is a centimeter or half inch longer than your bare foot.


Example: Your foot measures 10 inches from heel to toe. You would add a half inch to that measurement and find the closest size using the sizing chart. We find that 10.55 inches is the closest interior length, which equals a size 40 Risto.
