Nike Romaleos 2 - STAY AWAY FROM THESE

This is a weightlifting shoe gone wrong and there is a reason why its so unpopular.

I'm going to get right into it. The sizing is way off. Get atleast a 0.5 or 1 size higher than you would your regular shoe. This is a tight pair of shoes at the top and toe area. The heel is very rigid and not at all flexible AND it has poor stability on the sides. The straps are great and it does hold well, but why would that help if the above conditions are what they are? They are expensive, and they do not look very nice either.

At the end of the day, they are still really good shoes to lift in, and for people who are not very focused on the feeling they get from the shoe, or for those who are new, they will not even notice these things. Some people use these shoes and swear by them, but I have heard others disdain for the shoes, and in my own personal experience, I did not like the feel of these shoes at all. Lastly they look pretty ugly, and you have to agree with me there.
