Nike Romaleos 4 Review - USA Olympic Lifting Coach & CrossFit Games Athlete

[@clarkmosses5498]

This is actually such an excellently made video in its own right. The effort in this is fantastic and if the videos are consistently this quality then you definitely deserve WAY more subscribers than you currently have. Well done, gotta tell my mates to watch you.

[@TheSampleySix]

Thanks! Much appreciated! Check out my Las test video from a few days ago about the triathlon! I am definitely wanting to make more videos like that as well! Thanks again!

[@Navyseals3]

With this much effort with the video, you definitely deserve more likes and subscribers!!

[@TheSampleySix]

James Li hahaha thanks man!

[@EJ-R-1]

I second that! you deserve the spotlight! definitely an amazing job and I'd say better execution & overall review than the other training shoe reviewers out there. keep it up!

[@TheSampleySix]

EJ Rodriguez thanks so much!

[@asianoly7700]

[@KaptainKerl]

i got to admit the looks and comfortability of a weightlifting shoe are most important to me and these are definitely the best looking weightlifting shoe atm and are really comfortable.

[@TheSampleySix]

Totally agree!

[@LawnThumbs]

Thanks for the review. I’m new to CrossFit and just bought workout shoes cause I’m excited and love CrossFit. I did zero research before buying these, and Initially was upset with how they fit, I felt like I wouldn’t be able to do metcons, but I could tell I would be able to lift more stable. I received them in a weekend (my rest days) so I’m glad to hear they soften up after breaking them in. I’ll keep them now.

[@TheSampleySix]

Awesome! So happy to hear you enjoyed the review and it helped! These will be awesome shoes for Metcons with tons of lifting in them and of course all of your Olympic lifting and squatting! What shoes do you use for most of your CrossFit metcons?

[@LawnThumbs]

@@TheSampleySix up to this point I only used standard Nike running shoes. But yesterday I ordered metcon 6’s wish I would have bought them first but either way I’ll be prepared as I get better haha.

[@TheSampleySix]

Awesome! Excellent choice!! I think you’ll really like the 6s! Tag me in a post in Instagram when you get them and let me know how you like them!

[@LawnThumbs]

@@TheSampleySix will do!

[@davidgallo5266]

Good video man! I like how you formatted it.

[@TheSampleySix]

David Gallo thanks!

[@slashnagy6]

They feel so great because they take a lot from the romaleo 2’s which imo, are the best of all time

[@TheSampleySix]

Good point!

[@Girlwholifts]

Great review and great video! Thanks for the work 💪🏼

[@TheSampleySix]

No problem! Thanks for watching!

[@RigFit]

I ordered the black and white 4’s today. I wish I could’ve grabbed these up. That orange makes em pop

[@TheSampleySix]

I agree! Thanks for watching!

[@ndi5670]

I have read “Shoe Dog”. A very good read and provides a lot of insight. Highly recommended.

[@TheSampleySix]

I agree!

[@PaulDangerfieldd]

Bro. Another legit video. Thanks for the review. After seeing them in the vid I think they look amazing. Wasn't sure from pictures but they look nice here.

[@TheSampleySix]

Paul Dangerfield they’re sweet man! Looking forward to you seeing them in person! When this is all over we need to get together and lift!

[@Priceless889]

Great video. I wanted the ones with the orange strap as well. Had to settle for the black.

[@markguim]

Great vid! That PR snatch at the end 😂😂😂

[@TheSampleySix]

Mark Guim 😂😂 thanks!!

[@ceabo4u]

i got the pale ivory, and i love them, tho eveyone who wants to buy just buy half a size up or just remove the thic sole with a more slim one and you are good to go with your actual size

[@FitOneTech]

Great review! 👍🏻

[@Peinsama6wb]

Lol. What a goof. 😂 I like that last snatch. 👍🏾

[@TheSampleySix]

Hahaha thanks!

[@bilalrasheed]

Thank you for the review, so which size would you recommended going with? I have the 2's in size 11 and it fits perfectly. Should I opt for 11.5 in the 4's? Thank you again

[@TheSampleySix]

Bilal Rashid do you have a wider foot? The front of the 2s are a lot wider than the 4s. Do you have any Metcons? I wear a size 8 in all my Metcons and the 4s fit perfect but if they were any tighter I would have to get an 8.5. I’d say if you want to be safe get a 11.5 and if you want to to take a risk, stay with 11 and they might fit absolutely perfectly! I got mine from Academy Sports here in the US and they have free returns if they don’t fit

[@bilalrasheed]

@@TheSampleySix Amazing thank you for this. I wear size 11 as well in my metcon reacts. I have an average foot (not wide nor narrow). I think. I will go with the 11 and if it's too tight I'll exchange it for 11.5. Thank you again for the feedback. Definitely helped.

[@TheSampleySix]

Bilal Rashid sounds good! Good luck and hope you like them!

[@fredastaire6156]

I love the video and style! Bravo!

[@TheSampleySix]

Thanks!!

[@asianoly7700]

great review! love the video

[@TheSampleySix]

AsianOLY thanks so much!

[@RAPFlavour87]

They are better then running shoes, but not sure if they’re worth the price. I have 3 issues: - they run small, so I had to return them and order a bigger size - although they’re wider in the front than the Adidas, they still don’t have a wide toe box, so I’m not as stable as I could be when I squat - the tip is a bit raised, not flat like it is on the much cheaper Adidas, which makes me a bit unstable when squatting.

[@TheSampleySix]

I agree with a lot of what you said! I’m going to try the TYR lifters next. I have tried them on and they have a much wider toe box

[@RAPFlavour87]

@@TheSampleySix nice. To be honest, I didn’t even lookup the TYR, ‘cause I thought maybe they’re not available for Romania, that’s why I went with the Nikes.

[@Officernoob]

nice video. If i can recommend, separating the different features covered because there is a bit of jumping around on topics. ALso music can be a bit loud over your voice. I did enjoy the multiple opinions.

[@TheSampleySix]

Timjko thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!

[@getstrongby4038]

Is the sole the same as the rom2 competition sole or the training sole?

[@TheSampleySix]

They’re the same as the competition insoles Thanks for watching!

[@CHRIS-ty4tv]

Can I wear my romaleo 4's without the insoles? Or does the insoles have a big impact on lifts? Please help

[@TheSampleySix]

I guess you could use them without the insoles, it would make a big difference to the fit of the shoe though. The insole is a little thicker than you would expect and it’s very stiff

[@davidershon3185]

Would you wear these for leg presses or deadlifts?

[@TheSampleySix]

I wouldn’t use them for deadlifts unless you’re specifically wanting to put yourself into a higher position (I’ve work them while doing deficit deadlift work) I’m not sure what your would benefit by using them on a leg press because I haven’t used one in years but I don’t think there would be much benefit because the purpose of them is to help out your body into the optimal upright position for weight distribution doing a lift and really more specifically, Olympic lifts and a leg press is designed to take all of that load distribution out of the equation. Thanks for watching!

[@thehiatusprt]

orange strap looks great. would like to see one black shoe with red strap and sole.

[@TheSampleySix]

I know! There are tons of new colorways coming out now!

[@therightman2031]

I have a question: which are narrowest: Romaleos 4, Romaleos 3 XD, AdiPower2?

[@TheSampleySix]

The Romaleos 4 are definitely the most “narrow”. I don’t really like to say they are narrow because the base of them are still plenty wide and stable but they definitely have the tightest fit in the toe box area

[@therightman2031]

@@TheSampleySix I thought about fit 🙂 Thank You for your request 👍🏻😉

[@darrenflynn1564]

Any heel slip in these?

[@TheSampleySix]

I don’t have an issue with heel slip. I’ve heard others talk about it but I think it’s because they don’t tighten the top strap on them very well

[@jonathanstevens5349]

Did you find there was heel slip? I've heard other KZbinrs say that they felt it really heavy in these

[@KaptainKerl]

there is definitely a slight heel slip

[@TheSampleySix]

Hey Jonathan! I’ve heard people say that there’s a problem with the heal slip but I haven’t had that problem at all if I tighten the top strap enough

[@lapasta9925]

I bought these for squats and hope theyre gonna fit well and enhance my performance :)

[@TheSampleySix]

Let me know what you think of them!

[@lapasta9925]

@@TheSampleySix I tried them, the first thing i noticed is that they are heavy af. I wouldn't really walk in this apart from my leg training. I did squat better, but felt my knees more. I guess i have weak knees and need to train it more often.

[@stevechui04]

i have a pair of legacy lifter in US10. Should I order the same size in romaleos 4? Thank you

[@TheSampleySix]

Cheuk Chui yep! I would order the same size you wear for your everyday training shoes

[@hanskazan7403]

hahaha bro the end i was like wtf hes gonna do 140 kgs lollll

[@TheSampleySix]

hahahaha Thanks for watching till the end!

[@RareAirTwo4]

Can you use these for plyometrics?

[@TheSampleySix]

I would not use these for plyometrics. They are super heavy but more importantly the 20mm heal would really mess up any movements like that. I’d keep these for just squatting a s Olympic weightlifting 👌🏼

[@RareAirTwo4]

@@TheSampleySix So basically for when I hit the weight room only.

[@TheSampleySix]

Yeah they’re very use specific for sure! They’re great for lifting though

[@juliusstrbk4218]

What size should I go for, if I wear EU 44 in nike vapormax

[@TheSampleySix]

You should be good with a size 44 in the Romaleos 4 because the Vapormax runs a little on the small side so should be about right for the Romaleos!

[@TheSampleySix]

Thanks for watching!

[@onslaught213]

Are they true to size or size up?

[@TheSampleySix]

I'd say they're on the small side of true. Maybe size up a half size

[@billiestanfield2702]

Ugh the disappointment these aren't every day wear shoes lol. Haven't been able to find the old Nike shox nz in my size saw these and wanted them.

Heel size?

What if im a size 13 and a half , what size should I get between 13 and 14
