    I think Nike has a surplus of ripstop nylon cause they're using a ton of it in a lot of their models

    Hi man, thank you for the review. I have a question about the arch though, do you get it from the insoles that come with the shoes or does the inside of the shoe actually elevates to give an arch support directly, thus supinating the foot ?
    I hope it is not the latter, I already have over supination, I was hoping to get them but I really need a pair that is flat laterally speaking. Thanks in advance, and hope you recover well from your knee injury.

    • @trainershatehim
      @trainershatehim  4 роки тому

      Just double checked, the arches raise in the shoe AND on the insole (more of a slope). The shoe also seems narrower where your arch would rest. I wouldn't recommend these if you want something more flat.
      Appreciate it! Hope this helps.

      @@trainershatehim I guess I will pass on these then, thank you for taking the time to check. Still waiting for an awesome looking weightlifting shoe with neutral foot and sufficient heel raise... I am currently wearing the inov 8 fastlift 335 with a small hard heel insert under the insole but they are starting to look pretty beat up now. It's a good time to update for the 325 model and have a cobbler add 5 mm of heel height.

  • @kcb5150
    @kcb5150 4 роки тому +2

    They probably are the exact same length but the heavier material adds up around the foot to make the shoe internally smaller. At least this seems like a proper oly shoe again vs the 3 which seemed like something inov8 would make, only way worse.

      @@trainershatehim 04 are not that good. I would take the 96 with the strap over the 00 but not the 96 with the two backpack buckles. 08 are just awesome because your ankles are so out there and free but everything cupping the heel and mid is so hard. That and the got the flexibility perfect. I do have a pair of matocha m which are great shoes, but heavy.

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

    • @trainershatehim
      @trainershatehim  3 роки тому +1

      I think both Roms are the same narrowness, but I'm basing that off of using the original Rom 3's not the XD's. Haven't worn Adipower 2's, but judging by Adipower 1's, the Rom's are tighter. Rom 2's are wide though!

    Can you guys help me? I have a narrow feet (3.5 inches / 88.9 mm) my usual Nike running shoe size is US 11 i'm considering on buying Nike romaleos 4 should I also get size US 11 as well or should I increase the size by US 11.5?

    • @trainershatehim
      @trainershatehim  3 роки тому

      Wish I could help - not sure how to size from Nike running shoes to these. Part of me wants to say you should go down to 10.5 but don't quote me on that.

    • @trainershatehim
      @trainershatehim  4 роки тому +1

      Honestly I'd tell you to stick with the 3xd's. The 4's are cool, but if you've never worn weightlifting shoes before, the heaviness is going to be overwhelming. Indulge how you will.

    • @xXAkitokunXx
      @xXAkitokunXx 4 роки тому

      Agreed just use the 3xd to experience it but when you go to 4 you will notice the changes. You have to feel it and it’s hard to explain.

    • @trainershatehim
      @trainershatehim  2 роки тому +1

      I actually went with a women's size 10 when I normally wear men's 8, and they were a little big on me, so my knowledge on sizing will be a little off. I'm assuming they're mostly true to size but check other reviews just to be sure.
