Starting to like these more than my Romaleos 2's

V I. - Sep 09, 2020

Before making my purchase, I did a lot of homework on these. Watched all the youtube reviews, reddit threads, forum comments etc. And I found that most were accurate with sizing. I normally wear 10.5 and at the time I ordered these, 10 was only available. I pulled the trigger thinking, I can always return them if they were indeed too small. I get the lifters in, and at first, they were tight (most reviews did state they ran small). I have a wide foot but after a few days lifting in them, they stretched out, which mitigated the heel slip issue many have complained of (tying the shoe laces tight and or strapping in the top strap all but eliminates that too btw) For the last year n a half, I have been lifting in Romaleos 2's which any lifter knows, is widely known to be the best lifters Nike has produced. 2.5 months in, I am starting to like these more than the 2's. They breath better, better overall comfort in my opinion. The heel is a little taller than the 2's and also have a bit more arch, but I got used to it within less than a week. I train in Olympic weightlifting 5 days a week, for those curious. Highly recommend
