Danny Nemani reviews the Nike Romaleos 2 and compares them to the Adidas Power Perfect II.
Of course shoe reviews depend a lot on foot size and shape. What’s good for Danny might not feel right for you.
But he concludes that the Nike Romaleos 2 have:
- reduced knee and hip wobble / ankle lateral wobble
- increased stability in pull and push
So he gave them a 9/10 on the Nemani scale.

I have never tried the Romaleos but am very happy with the power perfect 2’s. The Romaleoes are also ~ double the price!
Yeah the price is hefty. That is why I would buy past years models of shoes.
I thought the power perfect was the powerlifting shoe from Adidas. Hardly a fair comparison when it’s up against an o-lift shoe.
From everywhere I have looked the Power Perfect 2 are weightlifting shoes.

Ill stick with my cheap do-win oly shoes I got years ago I feel they are all pretty much the same and if you don’t care about style get the cheapest one you can.
And why not. If it works, it works.
I got lucky and got some Adistars of ebay for €30 a while back and I think these will last forever.
