I really dont care about your opinion on specs-just give it to me cut and dry: adipower or rommaleos
>>36701745
they're both good
romaleos are wider through the foot if you have wide feet. adipowers are thinner.

I've been scoping the adis
Adipowers are more aesthetic desu
I want to buy some Romaleos. My Do-Wins are falling apart now.
Where's the cheapest place to buy online in the US?

Romaloes
/thread
Romaleos feel 1000x better than Adipowers, feels heavier and more connected to the ground, feels much better for front squats for me at least

Gross.
I cut off about 35% length off the top straps on my Romaleos 2
Theyre my first lifting shoes, and its like night & day difference squatting in them compared to typical runners or barefoot......but I don't know if I can honestly recommend a pair of lifting shoes that was like $300 for me (in australia) that I had to do DIY adjustments to....in order to not be annoying.
I ignored it for the first 6 months I had the shoes but I just couldn't handle it anymore. That top strap is really poorly designed. way too fucking long.
Go to the store and try em out, ask to use their customer squat rack.

Romaleos. I got a pair of Adipowers, but they are narrow as fuck, my feet were killing me after using them. I returned them and got Romaleos, I have never been happier with a shoe purchase.
Can someone explain the geometry of lifting shoes compared to a normal flat-footed lifting method?
Seems counter intuitive to have shoes with a downward slope when you're usually trying to keep your force coming from your heels.
Or does the angle increase the lateral component of the force against the heel?
Pls help I don't understand
>>36704530
the raised heel allows your knees to travel forward further, an increase in ankle dorsiflexion. This make you quicker in the catch positions as you can get lower before a stretch reflex kicks in. Many professional olympic lifters practice without shoes occasionally.
the angle is like 15 degrees (i think, its a half inch to full inch heel usually), it's like squatting with plates under your heels. It doesn't lower the effect of explosive forces etc through the heel as the angle is really pretty slight.
you understand now yeah?
