Another aspect that makes the Nike Romaleos 3s different is the Flywire material used to compose the upper shoe construction. This material creates increased shoe flexibility, which will take less time to break in, andcan be a major plus for a lot of athletes. In terms of durability, the lightweight, flexible nature may be a problem with prolonged use, which Burns pointed out as well. These shoes are relatively light compared to shoes like the Reebok Legacy Lifters that weigh around 20 oz. A lighter shoe will be beneficial to lifters with slow foot turnover. In addition, a lighter shoe is more idealfor those going through functional style workouts, or workouts including multiple exercises (power and strength) at once. This lightweight feeling could be a key aspect for most lifters, as these shoes are designed with a hybrid mentality, so their feetwon’t feel clunkyor slow. Nike Romaleos 3 Weight Weichersalso pointed out that she likes the lightweight flexible nature of the shoe and said, “They feel lighter on my foot compared to the 2s. The toe box is more flexible. The 2s would bend weird in the toe box sometimes.”

Similar to the Nike Romaleos 2 model, this liftercomes with two different soles, which influence the shoe’s final weight. If you’re using the soft sole, then the shoe will weigh around 13 oz, while the harder sole equates toabout 15 oz.Just like the majority of the weightlifting shoes, the Romaleos 3 run big; you might want to go down half a size from what you normally wear in a running pair.

On the top 2 eyelets, Nike added its ingenious Flywire technology. In a nutshell, this feature comprises thin Vectran filaments that wrap around your feet to improve the support. Since they’re connected to the laces, the whole shoes will feel much tighter as you pull harder. The Romaleos 3 XD The Nike Romaleos 3have a hard thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) heel, which is a lightweight non-compressible material often used for its sturdiness and resilience to abrasions. More attractive colors: The Romaleos 4 come in a variety of bright, attractive colors that will give you something to brag about! Lightweight: The TPU midsole is built in a honeycomb pattern that cuts down on the amount of the needed material. The Nike Romaleos 3s come with an effective heel height of .79″ or 20 mm. This difference is so small to the norm of .75″, that they’re still often grouped in the .75″ heel category. A heel heel height of .79″ makes this shoe slightly more versatile than the Legacy Lifter, but to a minimal degree.
