The detail
A cushioned running shoe is the wrong tool under a loaded barbell: soft foam compresses unevenly and your base moves. The Anchor runs a 4mm drop on a dense EVA wedge that barely compresses, with a heel that is 12mm wider than our running last so the foot can spread under load. The outsole wraps up the medial side to survive rope climbs, and the upper is a woven textile rather than knit because knit stretches out exactly where you need it not to.

Stable under squats
Feels planted in a way my running shoes never did. Obvious in hindsight.

Roomy toe box
Wider than expected, which is the point, but size down if you have narrow feet.
