Fit, function, support and quality all excellent. The best shoe for deadlifts on the market!!
Definitely an upgrade from my previous/first lifting shoes that I've had from Notorious Lift for 3 years. Feels like my squats and deadlifts have improved greatly from wearing these. Look forward to getting the high tops once they drop again.
Better grip in squats and deadlift

I liked the look of the shoes. The problem was that they just didn’t fit right.

Great shoe for lifting
The Apex Power Shoes have been great and are now my daily driver for lifting at the gym. They replaced my Converse that were too thin for my feet and were not as functional since the Converse shoe build was changed. The Avancus shoes are very roomy and comfortable, whilst also providing the function to let me performing lifts well. I'd definitely recommend picking up a pair!

best workout shoe
if you’re looking for an overall gym shoe this is the one. whether your body build, power lift or simply go to the gym for fun. this is the shoe for everyone. with its zero heel to toe drop it makes you feel centered and planted in the ground at all times and the grip is unmatched. don’t hesitate to cop a pair for yourself.

Want to be strong? Buy this shoe!
Simply state, the best powerlifting shoe/shoe brand on the market.
I have tried a handful of shoes and slippers for the sport and these are the best by far. Ample foot room in the front of the shoe to spread your feet out, but snug enough in the back where you feel secure while lifting. Also the choice for laced shoes makes for much better security while lifting, and longevity of the shoe.
Having owned these shoes for approximately 2 months now and wearing them for about 3 - 4 hours a day, 5 days a week. I haven't had any quality issues or wearing down. I have also been debating picking up a second pair.
I range between a 10 - 10.5 shoes size depending on the brand and these shoes run true to size (having bought a 10 - 10.5).
The shipping times for this product where very quick (order to doorstep in 3 days with standard delivery) and package arrived undamaged.
One picking point that I have is the amount of items in stock. I wish there was more stock avaliable. But given the amount of marketing/attention this brand gets in the community, coupled with quality. It is understandable how they aren't always in stock.

Sizing is off
I normally wear a mens size 10.5. I ordered the 10-10.5 and they were too small. I emailed them and asked if they could help with shipping for an exchange for the next size up. I was told no and to use the AI sizing tool on the website to be more certain of my size. I used the tool and it recommended a size 10. Needless to say, I am scared to reorder the next size up because I am worried they will still not fit and I will get hit with the return shipping again. I have already spent $20 to return the first pair and I have no shoes to show for it.
**UPDATE**
Owner has gotten involved and been very helpful. He refunded the return shipping for my first pair and is sending me the next size up. He also offered to pay for return shipping on the second pair if they don't fit.

Outstanding!
The standard of my Apex Power High Tops blew me away, the comfort of a shoe (even without a sole) was amazing! However, the product is not my main reason for the review, while it is five stars and the value for money is great (even with the shipping fee), it is their outstanding customer service. I used the Size Finder AI and, as I am from England when I was given my size, I ordered it in UK size rather than US. This left me with a shoe that was far too big. I emailed Avancus about my issue, and they got back to me that evening, and everything was sorted out within a week. The team was so incredibly helpful and efficient. I could not recommend Avancus enough for both their product and their customer car.
