I know this is old , but myself and many others have heel slip in NIKES . BUT!! The material on the inside WILL swell once you start sweating in them …. To speed up the process , you can kinda wet you fingers massage the water into the inside area at the back of heel and sides … kinda memic a heavy sweat … let it dry and do it again ….. you may even feel the foam on the inside swell as you do this … They do get better as you wear them ..
Hey, really enjoyed the review. Do you have any experience with Legacy Lifter 1s/Romaleos 2/Anta shoes? I have heard that these models should be better for squatting than these newer models, but am struggling to find a place that still has them in stock. What's your take on them?
Hey man never tried those 3 shoes before, because like you said its pretty hard to find them in stock 😅. I have heard people rate the romaleos 2 a lot, actually spent some time trying to get a pair but with no luck. If you can find one your size, might be worth a try
I had 3 pairs of romaleos 2 and they were the Best shoes for squats ever. I was able to get a new pair 2 months ago in Finland it was expensive getting them to my country but totally worth it
Reebok Lifter 1’s are waaay better than the 2’s. The material feels more stable and the two straps in comparison to the single strap in the 2’s makes such a difference.

great review. can i ask why you decided to have multiple different weight lifting shoes or was it just kind of something that happened over time? thanks.
@@mojeedsulayman1518 I saw the Reebok legacy lifter 2 on special (like less than half price) sorely tempted to get them but already have the Nike romaloes 4.. thanks for your review definitely edges me towards getting them.
So you said heeled shoes can be beneficial depending on your leverages and your height? Obviously its specific to each individual, but would you not recommend flats if able to?
If you feel comfortable in flats and have the required ankle mobility I'd definitely say flats all the way. In general, I'd really only recommend using heels if you are a taller lifter and are struggling with hitting depth or feel like your squat is too back dominant.
@@filiptasev1059 Hey man if you have good ankle mobility, I'd recommend you try squatting with a pair of chuck Taylors or any shoe with a completely flat surface for starters. If you find you aren't able to hit depth or want to invest in a heeled shoe for squats, considering how discounted the legacy lifter 2's have become now, id definitely recommend picking up a pair for the price. They are amazing and I've enjoyed training in them so far.
@UCcyR_hjmsFjqPUgi5rdIiGg Hey man, 6'6 is a long way up. If you've tried squatting in socks and feel comfortable I'd definitely say stick with that in the meantime. As you get stronger and start squatting more weight, look at getting a pair of Chuck Taylors, Nike Air Jordans, or any flat sole shoe in general. A wide squat stance with a low bar position will probably not feel very stable with heels but considering this is your first time using squat shoes, it might just take a while for you to get comfortable with the new positioning. A side video comparison of you squatting in socks and heels can also help you decide which one puts your body in a better position to squat.
Hey man, these are great shoes but if your originals still work for you and they aren't falling apart, I will say stick with the originals. Oly shoes are supposed to last for years so save the upgrade for when those are starting to breakdown ✌🏽.
ohh weightlifitng shoes tend to be very heavy. these can help you feel "planted" when squatting. Although if you are using them for oly lifitng, might throw you off
@@mojeedsulayman1518 it's a Mexican joke, doing reference to the song that goes "this is the rhythm of the night...", but when said in a Mexican accent it sounds like your saying "¿esos son Reebok o son Nike?".
Hey, I think they run at your normal size. Watched a few reviews that said go up a size bu 0.5 but when I ordered 11.5s they felt too loose and I normally wear 11s.
Hey man, for high bar squats it really depends on how good your ankle mobility is, if you don't have great ankle mobility the larger heel on the reebok will help if it's okay any of the shoes will be good for you. For overhead press, I've never really tried them or worn heels during them so can't give you my opinion. For bench, both shoes feel the exact same, so either will do you well. Hope this helps
@@mr.everything1969 Hey man, id recommend the legacy 2, had them for over a month now and really enjoying training in them. Although i would have to say the build quality isn't as good as the romaleos.
I wish I could give you two thumbs up: one for the solid review and one for using Careless Whisper in it.
🤣🤣🤣, thank you so much 🙌🏾🙌🏾.
Thx so much for your straight forward review! I just bought the Nike Romaleos and find them way to solid. Going for the Reeboks now!
Glad the video was helpful
Nice review, just bought the legacy 2, thnks!
Thank you very much man, hope you enjoy them !!.
Just casually stunting on us with the 2.5-3.5x bw squat👀😅😅
Hahaha, the 3.5x was a stretch, that's a freakish squat.
This helped a lot!! Gonna get the Legacy's !
Glad the video was helpful. 🙌💪
Love your color choices! I'm super bummed that the green strap Romaleos 4 are no longer being sold :(
Ahh thats a shame, the nike romaleos have some really good color choices
I bought mine on stock x.
thank you man, this helped me a lot!!
Glad you found the video helpful 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼.

What would you choose now? Romaleos 4, Legacy 2 or Leistung 16 2.0 BOA ?

are the reeboks wider in the toe box? please reply. It's literally my most important criterion
They definitely are, feel more comfortable than the Nike romaleos.

Currently own the original Reebok LL. You think these are worth the upgrade?

@@mojeedsulayman1518 yeah they're in perfect condition lol. Appreciate it man.
Received the Reebok Legacy Lifter II today and am shocked how heavy they are.... I don't think lifting shoes are for me lol

Havent watched yet but is is a great video for me. I have adipower 1/2 but looking to get more
Its between these 2 and antas
Adipower have a pretty low heel height so Will definitely notice a huge change in your leverages once you get any of these.
he man look up harry runs heel slip lacing on youtube and try that with your romaleos for me the heel slip its almost gone completely
Hey man, just gave this a watch and looking forward to trying it. Unfortunately returned romaleos, but will be trying this with my rebooks.
could I wear them for like normal using? not for lifting I mean. like a sneaker. would it be awkward or it would be okay and fine?
you do NOT want to do any running or jumping in weightlifting shoes
Esos son reebok o son nike?
Hey man the video is comparing the nike shoes vs the reebok ones

Do the Romaleos 4 run smaller or bigger? I was planning on getting .5 size bigger based on reviews.
Hey, I think they run at your normal size. Watched a few reviews that said go up a size bu 0.5 but when I ordered 11.5s they felt too loose and I normally wear 11s.
Are reeboks legagy lifter 2 better for deep high bar squat and strict overhead press? Or even bench press? (powerlifting)
Hey man, for high bar squats it really depends on how good your ankle mobility is, if you don't have great ankle mobility the larger heel on the reebok will help if it's okay any of the shoes will be good for you.

Why would you be concerned with strict press and how lifters effect them lol? Doesn’t sound like you know what you’re doing.
Rom 4 or legacy 2 for squats only!
Which ones?
@@mr.everything1969 Hey man, id recommend the legacy 2, had them for over a month now and really enjoying training in them. Although i would have to say the build quality isn't as good as the romaleos.

What is the name of the Adidas lifter?
The addidas lifters are the leistung II, nice shoes to use especially if ankle mobility is limited.
nike retcon 5 if your not a professional power lifter
No
Nvere tried these shoes before bro, unfortunatly. might check them out
Why u doing those lifts in ur kitchen
This was during the pandemic, so will still training at home as all gyms were closed.
@@mojeedsulayman1518 makes sense
