Core values
Inspire greatness through performance-driven design.
Avancus Europe represents the European home of the Avancus brand, created to provide strength athletes across Europe with reliable access to high-performance training and powerlifting shoes. From the beginning, the focus has been on building footwear that performs consistently under heavy load while maintaining comfort, stability, and clean design.
The Avancus story began when founder Arshia Hosseini identified a recurring issue in the market. Many gym and lifting shoes either prioritised appearance over function or delivered short-term performance that deteriorated quickly with regular training. Limited toe space, lack of durability, and insufficient grip were common problems for athletes training squats, deadlifts, and compound lifts.
Avancus was created to address these shortcomings through thoughtful design and real-world testing. Every Avancus shoe is built to support strength training demands, offering stability under the bar, reliable grip on the platform, and materials chosen for long-term use. Design decisions are driven by performance first, ensuring each product supports natural foot movement without unnecessary complexity.
Avancus Europe operates as the dedicated European store, serving lifters across the EU and surrounding regions. By shipping directly from Europe, Avancus Europe provides fast delivery, transparent pricing, and avoids unexpected import fees—making it easier for European athletes to access performance footwear built specifically for strength training and competition.
Today, Avancus continues to refine its approach through athlete feedback and continuous development. The goal remains the same: to create gym and powerlifting shoes that athletes can trust session after session. Whether training daily or preparing for competition, Avancus Europe delivers footwear designed to support strength athletes at every stage of their journey.
