Nike Romaleos 2 is a shoe that has built an extraordinary reputation among weightlifters. Its not just another model of weightlifting shoe - the Romaleos 2 is a symbol for many athletes of maximum stability, honest construction and a shoe that was designed for really heavy weights.
Nike developed this model for the London 2012 Olympic Games. The goal was to create a weightlifting shoe that would offer strength and stability in the market, overhead and heavy squats, while remaining comfortable and functional enough for demanding training. The result is a model that, even after all these years, is still considered one of the best weightlifting shoes ever made.
These shoes are new and unused. As the Romaleos 2 is no longer in regular production, this is an exceptional opportunity to get your hands on the last pieces of a true weightlifting legend.
The Romaleos 2 are known among our customers for their perfect stability. The sturdy construction firmly envelops the foot and helps the athlete maintain a confident stance even at maximum weights. The shoe feels very solid, but at the same time retains the necessary flexibility in the forefoot so as not to restrict the natural movement of the foot.
The tightening is taken care of by a combination of classic lacing and two tightening straps. The double strap system is one of the reasons why the Romaleos 2 holds the foot so well in the shoe. When sized correctly, the shoe tightens tightly around the foot, stabilizing the instep and helping to minimize unwanted foot movement inside the shoe.
The lateral foot guidance is also a distinct advantage. Youll especially appreciate this during heavy trials, when its not just about forward and backward stability, but also lateral support. Its this detail that sets the Romaleos 2 apart from many conventional weightlifting shoes.
One of the most important parts of any weightlifting shoe is the heel wedge. On the Nike Romaleos 2, it has an effective height of 0.75 inch/1.9 cm, which is very popular for weightlifting and heavy squats.
The heel is made of durable TPU material, a thermoplastic urethane. It is strong, stable and wear-resistant. As a result, the shoe does not feel soft or unstable under heavy loads, but instead provides a secure and solid foundation for barbell work.
The raised heel helps improve positioning in deep squats, allows for a more upright posture and makes it easier to achieve a technically correct position during weightlifting exercises.
The big advantage of the Romaleos 2 is that youll find two types of insoles in the pack:
Soft Training Insoles - suitable for regular training when you want a little more comfort.
Harder Racing Insoles - designed for maximum stability, heavy trials and racing use.
This allows you to better customize the shoe to your type of training, feel in the shoe or current stability needs.
The upper of the shoe is made up of a mostly synthetic material that is very durable and easy to clean. Ventilation holes are incorporated into the upper to help dissipate heat towards the textile lining.
The inside of the shoe is textile and breathable. Admittedly, because of the tough synthetic upper, the Romaleos 2 is not the most breathable shoe on the market - but durability, strength and stability are clearly prioritized here. Its a logical compromise for a weightlifting shoe in this category.
The outsole is rubber and designed to provide sure contact with the floor. Nike has also focused on reducing wear in the heel area with this model, which contributes to the longevity of the shoe.
The Romaleos 2 have very durable integrated lacing that holds and doesnt tear. This reduces the risk of so-called "lace cutting", which can occur with poor lacing technique or over-tightening.
The laces are used for basic tightening of the shoe, but the main fixation of the foot is provided only by the laces. It is the right combination of lacing and straps that is important for maximum performance and longevity of the shoe.
The Nike Romaleos 2 is the ideal choice for advanced weightlifters, competitors and athletes who want a very stable heavyweight shoe. They are great for: weightlifting, market, overhead, squats,strength training with an emphasis on stability
They are especially appreciated by athletes looking for a solid, sturdy and long-term reliable shoe. They can also fit very well for people with wider feet.
On the other hand, they are not ideal for athletes with very narrow feet and are not suitable for dynamic or flexible exercises such as lunges, box jumps, running or regular CrossFit workouts. Due to the elevated heel, they are also not suitable for deadlifts.

Running shoes are not your classic walking shoes. They are meant to hold the foot firmly and provide maximum stability. If you choose a size that is too large, your foot will move around in the shoe and the shoe will not serve its purpose.
The shoe should be comfortable but sturdy. It should not be extremely compressive, but it should also not have an unnecessarily large space in it. Ideally, you should try the shoes in person at our WORKOUT store in Prague, where you can compare them with other weightlifting models.
Tighten the laces firmly, but not extremely. The main fixation of the foot is to be provided by the drawstrings. If you tighten the laces too tightly, the foot can easily swell during training and loading, and the laces then put unnecessary stress on the shoe material.
After training, we recommend pulling the insoles out and letting the shoes dry freely. Never dry them on a heater or near a strong heat source. This could crack the material or damage the shoe.
A damp cloth is sufficient for routine cleaning. Definitely dont put the shoes in the washing machine.
When fastening the straps, be careful not to catch the laces in the Velcro. Frayed laces can be replaced, but worn Velcro on the straps is a much bigger problem.
We also recommend not hiding the laces under the drawstrings. While it may look cleaner, it puts unnecessary pressure on the ankle and reduces comfort during exercise.
The Nike Romaleos 2 is a premium weightlifting shoe for athletes looking for maximum stability, strength and durability. Theyre rugged, reliable and designed for tough workouts and competitive trials. With double straps, a sturdy TPU heel, metal buckles, and two types of insoles included, this is a model that has rightfully earned legendary status.
If youre looking for shoes for serious weightlifting, heavy squats, and maximum confidence under the barbell, the Nike Romaleos 2 is one of the best choices you can wear.
