A friend of mine is going to Chicago next week and he needs to buy weightlifting shoes (for olympic lifting).

Do any of you know if there is a physical store/chain that sells them?

Amazon

Sign up for prime = 2 day shipping

He wanted to buy them in a store there so he can test them.
Hence me asking for a physical store.

Good luck to him.

Though I remember someone posting ~2yrs ago about finding some adidas powerlifting shoes in Ross for a crazy cheap amount.

I've worn my friends powerlifting shoes to the gym (on dead lift day) and felt little to no difference compared to my regular tennis shoes I wear

What ''powerlifting'' shoes?

Raised heel will make deadlifts mote difficult

Did you read OP

Reebok, Nike, Addidas stores. Inov sell's a decent composite.

If you're buying quality buy Nike or Adidas.

Order ANYWHERE online. There's hundreds of sites that sell lifters.


Edit: just realized it was you that made the post plaad. NVM.

Go to any store bro beans.

Fitness towns/depots are stocking lifters now. Reebok sells lots.

Ya but he never said his friend needed to try them on before hand.

He's better off getting a pair of chucks considering most stores don't have any good powerlifting shoes (at least around my area hence me buying them online - which they fit perfect)
