Nike Romaleos 2

Romaleos are bought retail as far as I know. I tried looking for a good deal before but it's just one of those items that you buy full price.
 
i can tell you right now if your foot is wide go 1 full size up. those tards that gave reviews on rogue fitness clearly dont know what a wide foot is. i wear a 9 in nike running shoes, but in the romaleos 2 i wear a 10. so if your foot width is a: D=true to size, EE= 1/2 size bigger, and EEEE (MY WIDTH)= 1 full size bigger. i had to send the shoes back twice. poeple were on rogue saying they have a "wide" foot and the romaleos fit true to size. BS i tell you...BS!!!!

Can't say the same for me. The romaleos are true size. I'm a 9 and I fit the 9s perfectly. I wear nike free runs at size 10.

Nike running shoes are mostly all narrow as far as I know.
 
I used to manage a specialty running store. The Nike narrow fit is a myth from the 80's.

And athletic shoes have a different scale than dead shoes. So if you are wearing the same number on dress and athletic then I guarantee one of them is the wrong size. The difference between the scales is that dress shoes start at 0 while athletic shoes start at 1.

Even then shoes from the same manufacturer can run short (more likely), long, wide, or narrow. Even that can change year to year. Throw in the fact that some manufacturers will make different sized to boxes which is different than different widths it can make it hard for people to know what size they need.

If you want to get fit properly go to a running specialty store. You can find a complete list on runners world. Start with the size they gave you to find lifting shoes and adjust based upon if the shoes runs long or short.
 
When I bought mine the price was pretty much the same everywhere.
cant remember what size I went with but I wear a 12 and THINK I went with a 12.5 and they fit perfect.

and what does that have to do with my response? you can still find the size you need by getting fit properly in to other shoes. you can then get the proper fit by reviewing if the shoes run short, long, wide, narrow. basically what i already posted. unless I'm missing something else......
 
well i can tell you i just wore size 9 nike running shoes to bench in today, i have a pair of nike air maxes that are a 9 and fit me fine, but the romaleos 2 i wear are a 10. my foot width is a EEEE (sometimes referred to as an H width). when i measure the length of my foot in stores its an 8, thats why i fit into size 9 nike running shoes. the problems im having with the romaleos 2 is the height of the shoe at the toes. the 9 just flat out didnt fit, the 9.5 was long enough but the top of the shoe at the toes pressed down too hard on my big toe, so a 10 it is.
 
I wasn't a fan of Romaleos at all back when I squatted in heels. Being flat footed, they were painful on my feet. So...just passing on my experience in case anyone else is in the same boat as me.
 
I've been contemplating about getting some but I can't see myself paying that price. :/
 
Well.... I have flat feet and even a fallen arch on my feet, but I squat in every session in the nikes. I wear a 10 normally but I went down to a 9.5
To be safe. I have really felt any pain at all. To answer the original question, I bought mine from east bay for 20% off, but it depends where you go. Keep looking at eastbay

thats why i got my girlfriend to get them for me for christmas. and luckily she has sent them back twice for free from her work. the adidas powerlift 2 are like $90. i have two addidas outlets nearby and have seen them in the outlet stores.
 
People forget that the heel height varies considerably in these shoes and needs to be considered when making a decision. If your calves aren't that tight and you're shorter, then the Romaleos probably aren't the best idea since the heel height is relatively tall. Same goes with the AdiPower shoes. The Adidas Powerlift shoe is .6" in heel height compared to 1" for the Romaleos, AdiPower, and Reebok shoes.

Aren't the Romaleos a .75" heal not 1"?

That's what they say, but put them next to shoes with similar 1" heels and they look identical. It could just be that the forefoot is elevated as well, but that doesn't really make a lot of sense to have that complete elevation of the foot so I'm not sure.
 
I'll just stick with my Otomix shoes. Been lifting in them for decades.
 
I've been using wresting shoes for squats and deads lately but I want to say your foot kinda goes into the sole making them not as tall as they look. It drops down and really makes everything very stable and keeps your feel PLANTED like no other.

I don't Olympic lift so I'll never wear mine out so 200 for about a lifetime of use is a good deal to me.

For a cheaper but good shoe is the do wins. I've only read and heard good things about those.
 
I really like my Vibrams. :D
 
i train with guys that use do-wins. they love them. many of us have adidas and a few the nikes. only 1 person had an issue with any issue they ever got. his feet are so wide that any and all shows are a struggle for him.

knock off chucks work just fine for squats. i see O shoes as another tool in the tool box. my toolbox has many tools though.
