Another real pro of the Romaleos 4, warranty. I had the 4s for about a year and I don't know I guess I got unlucky and the sole ripped from one end to the other. The warranty process is slow but as long as you are the original buyer and bought within 2 years from a licensed vendor, they'll cover it with a voucher. So I ended up with a replacement covered by them

[@thatfitfriend]

Not bad at all and great points! 🤝

@jmk261 im looking into those Nike romaleos, did you buy them in the size you buy your regular shoes? Or did you go up half size?

[@jmk261]

@@manuelgranada5509 I bought them in my standard size. I have a fat-ish foot, where usually adidas is like a smidge too tight but everything else is good. I dont find the toe box prohibitive and I have wide ish toes. Depends on feel though. Just make sure if you don’t like them you take care to make sure you can return them. I found that it takes about 5-7 sessions of use to get used to them and for them to feel broken in.

I recently bought the Reebok ll2 as my first weightlifting shoes for €120, and I'm so happy with them. To be clear, I'm an amateur, and I've only started doing OLY 2 months ago, so I don't know how valid my opinion might be. Anyway, my first week with them was weird, because I've never used any high heel shoes and was using the Adidas The Total. But now I love them. They are really stable and well constructed. For €120 it might be the best pick.

[@thatfitfriend]

That's a great deal for that model! Thank you for sharing feedback, friend 🤝

[@zacmcb]

My heel feels pretty loose in the adida powerlifts but ive enjoyed them as a beginner squat shoe. It all comes down to how you sit your foot in the shoe while lacing and strapping it. Im glad i found your channel it is really helpful and well produced. Keep up the quality content.

You are right about Romaleos 4's toe box. I ordered my normal size 8.5 and my toes were squashed at the toe box. I returned and ordered size 9. It is still very narrow and uncomfortable in the toebox with size 9. I have a bunion on my right foot, but my left foot is standard size.

[@fredericksantos7958]

Very helpful overview review! Interesting to hear that you found the inov-8 G380s to be quite narrow, as I've heard others say they're quite wide/spacious (one even saying they rival the TYR L-1s in terms of width), this would definitely come down to the anatomy of each persons foot of course.

[@thatfitfriend]

Thank you! 🤝 Ehhhh, I wouldn’t go that far with their width. Hit me on IG and I’ll send you a vid side by side of them. Pretty noticeable difference, honestly, but def - anatomy can play a huge role in sizing perceptions! For additional context - I enjoy the fit of the Inov-8 for the most part. The upper around the toe box can feel a little snug on the lateral side, though.

[@eddyngaue6495]

I bought adipower in 2016 and lasted me to 2024. It costed me around $150 amazon then. My point is to invest in a good shoe to carry on through the years.

[@bigdude382]

Just got the Tyr1, first time using a shoe specifically for squats and what a difference it makes. Took out the insoles and the fit is just right

[@thatfitfriend]

Love hearing that! Thank you for sharing

[@SuperSwifte]

What you said about the new version of Do-Win's being different makes sense. I bought them because I heard they were good for wide feet, but they're not really that wide. And the sole isn't quite flat either. There's a kind of pivot point that can cause you to rock back and forth. Still not a bad shoe for a beginner. Will probably get some TYR L1's later this year.

[@polromeu]

Bought TYR L-1 Lifter because of that video. Wide foot. Feel like a glove!!! BTW: I had to order +1,3 of my usual size. I waer 42 2/3 and I ordered 44 (EU). So flat, confortable, nice material, pretty design.

Man, I feel the Reebok Lifter PR's are so underrated... recently bought them to replace a pair of Adidas Powerlift 3 from years ago, I would love to invest in a higher heel but it's not in the cards at the moment, though I love the fit and stability (what is the stability insert made of? It resembles plastic instead of foam) and feel like I upgraded anyway

[@thatfitfriend]

The PRs are awesome and wicked slept-on. I have them included in my written round-up! I regularly rock my PRs for training. I didn't include them here because they're starting to get tougher to find - not because of their performance. Essentially, I wanted to include options that tend to have more availability as we head into 2023!

I'd go TYR! Both will be fine stability wise, but the TYR's wider fit gives it a more comfortable fit and feel.

[@harrison3910]

i've been lifting in the adipowers for a year now, i do find the narrow toe box a little annoying, but my biggest problem is that i slip down those shoes no matter how tight i tie them. No they're not too big on me, so there is a bit of a slip, similar to the rom 4's idk if anyone else had this problem but overall the shoes are ok.

Great video. I've been eying those TYR lifters, my issue has been transitioning back to heels after going minimal for squatting for so long. Toe box always is too tight and I feel like I don't get good enough feel of the ground b/c of the hard soles.

[@thatfitfriend]

Thank you and I feel that! A lot of mechanical changes that come with tweaking your heel-to-toe drop while being super specific with your training/lifts. I sent you a video of the Primus, TYR, and Tolos model on IG. Hope that sizing reference helps, amigo!

[@goodandtak1331]

Hi Jake Due to surgical reasons, I have very wide feet and a low arch and instep, making it difficult for me to choose and purchase shoes. For now, the nanox2 model is the most comfortable to wear, but I think it's less durable. I would like to recommend you shoes that are wide and durable.

[@thatfitfriend]

Born Primitive Savage 1 could be a solid option if you want a training shoe!

For the gym as an overall workout you think the TYR L-1 or the Under Armour Reign 6?

[@thatfitfriend]

Cross-training shoe versus weightlifting shoe, apples to oranges comparion! Reign 6 will be your option for versatile workouts. L-1 Lifter can be great for squats/weightlifting but won't be your "do it all" style shoe.

Thanks for this! How come the Adipower 3's heel height is stated as 20mm in the video (timestamp: 17:25) vs 22mm stated by the manufacturer? I have the Adipower 3 and Reebok LL2 and the Adipower's heel does feel slightly lower but I'm not sure If I'm just imagining things.

[@thatfitfriend]

That’s a typo on my end! Thanks for spotting that, I must have missed that update when building out these graphics 😬 Could be how there’s a little more arch in the Adipower so it feels less dramatic despite technically being the same

[@13dma1rz]

Almost all the shoes you show have a heel rise, which is less than ideal. I've been using Otomix since the 80's. They have flat soles with great feel and stability.

[@scoops97]

I just got the adidas power perfect 3's. They are pretty tight even without being laced tightly and strapped. I heard that people have had the same issues but they broke them in and they felt fine. do you think I should return them or break them in?

If they're not unbearable then you're probably fine, tbh! That said, if it's an 7+ out of 10 discomfort, then I'd return them

@jake, hope you can advise me! I’m tall and that’s why I’m looking for weightlifting shoes to give my heel a boost. Besides that I also have wide feet. The TYR L-1 lifters seem to be the best, but the price point is very steep. In your videos and articles I cannot find another shoe with high heel suitable for wide feet. Any other recommendations? Thanks!

[@thatfitfriend]

Leg lifter 3 has a similar heel, UA Reign Lifter is also similar! They’ll both be a smidge narrower tho

[@Ian_R_Anderson]

Helpful review thanks! I had Adipower 1 shoes however, I lost them in my move. I'll probably pick up the 3s. What you said about them being narrow for wide feet is true however even true to size they are pretty durable. I had my Adipower 1 shoes for almost 5 years and they held up pretty well. Keep in mind the only heavy lifts I did in them were squats and deadlifts.

[@thatfitfriend]

Thank you for checking it out and sharing!

[@sarahlee3100]

You said all the shoes you mentioned have good stability. Can you be more specific when it comes to trying them out?

[@thatfitfriend]

@@sarahlee3100 they all have tpu and high density Eva midsoles, so they won’t compress even under the heaviest squats - being more specific in this stability context won’t matter for 99.9% of the population buying these. For example, you can easily squat north of 500 in all of these with no issues. I wouldn’t overthink it here. They’re all going to be stable and most lifters won’t feel/need a difference since they’re all relatively equal when moving heavy weight. Hope that makes sense! For trainers when there’s a load threshold where I notice compression I tend to make that known, but for these, it’s kind of a moot point - there’s no amount of weight that I can lift where I’ll compress the midsole of the mentioned weightlifting shoes 😅

[@gooo1762]

[@thatfitfriend]

Heck yeah, stoked it helped!

[@MegaYummyjelly]

Would you recommend the powerlift 5 or savaleos for a entry level shoe for low bar squats, deadlifts, standing military press, bench press etc? I can't decide between the two.

[@thatfitfriend]

I'd go Powerlift 5. Also, I wouldn't recommend wearing them for everything and I have content on that! For example, they'll be a sub-optimal shoe for deadlifting and changing your shoe's heel-to-drop drastically for presses don't make a whole lot of sense, too. Can expand on this more if you'd like!

If you're a beginner with a wide foot width, I see there are almost no options... I tried on some shoes and decided to get Legacy Lifter 2, since I was lucky to find it for around 90 USD, and it was one of the a few shoes that actually fit. The other options were Savaleos or Metcon but more expensive than Legacy Lifter. It still feels like buying ferrari right after getting a driving license though. If you were in my situation, what would you have done?

[@thatfitfriend]

100% don’t need specific footwear when you’re just starting out, however, spending time to find a pair that actually fits makes a world of difference.

I’m from Missouri, it’s a word I struggle with 😂 I’m better now with it, but if you care that much you need some other ish to worry about NGL

Velaasa Con: they will give you super glue if your shoe falls apart within the warranty period.

For real??? Thank you for sharing! Never had to deal with that but def good to have in comments for others.

I had Adipower1's for 7 years and I decided to buy the Romaleo4's, since my Adipowers were half size up, I thought that I'll buy my actual shoe size (10/44). At first the shoes felt V E R Y narrow to the point that I'd lose the feeling on my toes (I have wide feet). Then I took the insoles out and replaced them with my old, dusty, worn out and flat insoles of my Adipowers. Now the shoes have much more room and I like the stability that they provide.

[@thatfitfriend]

That's solid! I've had other folks they've done similar and it works well.

[@vudao6852]

Is it me or every shoes in this video is “snuggled” and recommend to be steer away from for wide foot?

[@thatfitfriend]

Weightlifting shoes don’t have a ton of wide options atm. We’re starting to see a shift towards them, just takes time since they’re a niche shoe most companies don’t update a ton

[@azkaban3000]

How about Sabo shoes bro?

[@thatfitfriend]

Haven’t been able to try their weightlifting shoes yet! Have heard mixed reviews on them thus far. They’re on my to-do in early 2023 🤝

[@papaschris]

Why not buying the romaleos 4 for 105€ feels like I'm commiting a crime?

[@thatfitfriend]

That’s a great deal

[@PAkash-hm6qk]

I am from India where i can buy this nike shoes

[@thatfitfriend]

I'm honestly not sure which outlets carry which models! Sorry I'm not more useful.

[@deadlift0425]

Romaleo 2, even if older, hands down the best!

[@thatfitfriend]

Feel that, was debating on copping an old pair off eBay the other day actually

[@noneofyourbusiness4661]

what about the under armour shoes?

[@thatfitfriend]

I dig them and have a review on them! I filmed this before they came out so I’ll have an updated list for the fall 👌

[@noneofyourbusiness4661]

@@thatfitfriend would you recommend them over the nike's?

[@thatfitfriend]

@@noneofyourbusiness4661 At this point in time, yeah. They're both good shoes but I like the UA's fit a tad better!

[@kozmo7]

This was amazing thank you so much As a larger man with wide ass feet, I sometimes wonder if all Oly lifters are small Europeans 😂

[@thatfitfriend]

Ay! Glad it helped. I appreciate you checking out the content!

[@icakaelud]

To be honest its actually unique that the stripes of Romaleos 4 go under the sole. It makes the shoe feel iconic.

[@MarS-dc2qx]

No antas?

[@thatfitfriend]

Impossible to find. Pointless to list a model that is sold out in nearly every size which is unfortunate. Word on the street is that a new model is coming out sooner than later.

[@vackor]

does this guy have large feet width or smth?

[@thatfitfriend]

This guy has slightly wider feet, yeah…most of these models run snug even for folks with medium width feet, fyi.

[@getoutofmyswamp7259]

eXpecially

[@thatfitfriend]

Broooo, I’ve fixed it! Watch my new videos, you grammar goons 😂

[@emacliftsalot]

Modern lifters are much worse than older lifters in comfort and performance.

[@thatfitfriend]

100%. Hell, most training shoes are, too. Companies keep skimping on materials. Are we at the point where we can say, "They don't make em' like they used to," yet?

[@emacliftsalot]

@@thatfitfriend I still buy the adipowers from ebay or wooden old doo wins

[@dragonmaldito]

No Antas? Sorry, but then this video is pointless...

[@thatfitfriend]

Lol, impossible to find in a 10, bro - and kind of pointless to mention in 2022/2023 since they’re so scarce for most, unfortunately. Apparently they have another iteration coming out in the next year or so.

[@thatfitfriend]

Yo dude, did a search today and found some 2.0s on EBay for $350 USD in my size 👀 Think it’s worth copping a pair for some content despite being sold out in most places? Would be more of novelty-style review since it’s an older model.

[@shidalvand]

Hi Jake, thanks for the video. What would you say would be the best option for wide feet? Seems like there aren’t any great ones based on your video 🥲

[@thatfitfriend]

@@shidalvand TYR L-1 Lifter will be your best bet! Go up a half-size in em 🤝

[@shidalvand]

@@thatfitfriend thank you! Though I think they’re hard to find in the uk unfortunately

What's all the crying with toe box widths. The engineers at nika and adidas know better.

No stitching like majority of them 😠

Weak review. Team china 🇨🇳 wears none of them shoes and they're the king of oly

[@thatfitfriend]

Okay

[@andrewtanczyk4009]

President Donald J. Trump,”It came from Chynnaaa!!!” Here in America we buy much from China. Therefore surprising we don’t know about more made in China weightlifting shoes.

[@FRFvckYT]

Cons of innov8: You cannot tell people what shoes they are when asked cuz both end up confused with such long name.

[@thatfitfriend]

LOL, these are the Inov-8 Fastlift Meta-Flex Torsion Heel Power G 4000s

Sir, maybe you have liftingshoes that you don't wear anymore, my son is on training now, but we can't afford to to buy, maybe you want to lend one of your shoes please 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😇😇😇🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😇😇😇🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😇😇😇🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Haha, I give old pairs away often! Follow on IG if you’re a size 10. I do first come first serve
