Rogue has a great selection of weightlifting shoes – including the Romaleos 4.

Nike came up with another groundbreaking sports innovation with the Romaleos 4, a training shoe created for strength and stability. It features a supportive midsole and a wide, flat outsole, and adjustable straps at the midfoot. The Nike Romaleos are the most outstanding squat shoe in the world of powerlifting.

All the different versions of the Romaleos 4 (including the AMP model) perform in a similar fashion.

Nike Romaleos 4 – Overview

Look forward to pain-free training as Romaleos 4 brings better overall comfort with this pair of bad boys. It is a little heavier on the feet than the previous version, which boosts more power in your lifting and squatting. It has a modern and stylish design with different colors of deep ocean/pure, platinum/ozone blue, and metallic copper compared to earlier versions.

A wide heel creates a stable base for heavy lifts, while its rubber tread provides durable traction to meet the demands of your sport. It has a raised heel, which makes lifting and squatting effortless.

Its adjustable straps at the midfoot protect your foot during your most extreme workouts. The expanded straps over the laces are adjustable to bring guaranteed support, and its grip makes it feel as if your feet are cemented to the ground.

Nike Romaleos 4 Review – Other Editions

Not digging that color? Here are some more styles.

Nike Romaleos 4 - Swoosh
Some people don’t like the ostentatious swoosh logo on these shoes, but there’s no escaping it – it’s on every edition of the shoe.

Black/White is a nice neutral looking color combo. But, that Swoosh stands out quite a bit.

Nike Romaleos 4 - Black/White
Want something more subtle? Check out the Black/White colorway shown here – my personal favorite.

Black/Orange is more subtle and still has all the great performance features you need for Oly lifting.

Nike Romaleos 4 - Black/Orange
Here’s another colorway that we tested. Sharp!

Nike not your cup of tea? How about the Reebok Legacy Lifter II instead?

Nike Romaleos 4 Review – In Summary

That’s our review of the Nike Romaleos 4 from Nike.

Romaleos 4 has an upgraded platform, better balance, and traction, the same heel slip, while its fit and looks still boils down to personal preference. With its additional strap, you’ll enjoy a drastically improved level of support. Romaleos 4 is your perfect buddy if you want exceptional durability, firmer, heavier support, and if you have wide feet.
