Nike Romaleos 4 Review for Squats and Olympic Weightlifting

I just upgraded to the Nike Romaleos 4 and I wanted to post a review for anyone considering them. The first thing I noticed is how wide the base is. These shoes feel like they are glued to the floor when I am squatting. The double straps provide a lot of security across the midfoot.

I am using them for both squats and clean and jerks in Montreal and the heel height feels perfect for my mobility. They are a bit heavier than my old shoes but I actually like the solid feel. I have noticed my balance is much better during the catch of a snatch.

One thing to watch out for is the sizing. They seem to run a bit narrow so I had to go up a half size. Has anyone else had issues with the heel cup being a bit stiff at first? I am hoping they soften up after a few more sessions. Overall these are top tier lifting shoes.
