Great shoes!
Great shoes!! I immediately noticed a difference from my other lifting shoes. Squatting and deadlifting feel better, and they give great stability.

Maybe the most Stylish Shoes I Own
Very cool-looking show, comfy for both training and walking. I'm a barefoot guy, and I like the minimalism and the zero drop. It might

Shoes feels like I’m barefoot
Most comfortable training shoes I’ve had, they feel like I’m barefoot, which is important to me when I’m deadlifting. I have plenty of ankle mobility when squatting and when doing any movement. I was very pleasantly surprised by the grip of these shoes. With my old shoes I would drift a little bit when doing Tricep pull downs, but off the rip when I tried with theses shoes I was planted down and I absolutely love that. It also helped translate over to my leg drive when I’m benching, I feel planted down and can push and get way much better leg drive since I’m no longer prone to drifting.

Thank you so much for the detailed review! Happy to hear the grip and stability made such a noticeable difference in your lifts. That’s exactly what we aim for, and we’re glad it delivered.
High shipping cost, non refundable and import duties
Very disappointing experience. During checkout it is not stated that, in addition to the high shipping costs of €37.95, Dutch customers must also pay in import duties. This comes as an unpleasant surprise after ordering. I contacted customer service about this, but they stated there was nothing they could do. Shipping costs are non-refundable in case of a return, leaving customers with no real choice. I strongly advise customers in the Netherlands not to order through their website.

I recently order a second pair of shoes. I have my V3 which I love and I order a high tops this time. I order a size up thinking it would be better, boy I was wrong!
Avancus returned/Exchange process was really easy. Followed the instructions that they listed and I was able to get the right size. Definitely recommended. Can’t wait to smash PRs on the platform 🫡
