Product Highlights

  • The Nike Romaleos 4 features a 20-millimeter heel-to-toe drop for Olympic lifts and squats.

  • While not particularly breathable, the upper is resilient and durable enough for regular wear and tear.

  • Nike adds two midfoot straps across the Romaleos 4s for improved lockdown and stability.

  • While the toe box is admittedly more accommodating than previous Romaleos iterations, it’s still a pretty snug fit.

Product Summary

The Romaleos 4 were designed to represent the favorable parts of all versions, and I do believe Nike has executed that well. While the price tag of $200 may deter some, this shoe is a great option for those seeking a sturdy, aesthetically pleasing weightlifting shoe.
