The Nike Romaleos 2 is a lightweight, flexible powerlifting shoe that can withstand the unique punishment that weightlifters put on their footwear. Synthetic upper with integrated lacing and two large hook-and-loop closures to keep the foot locked in place. Elastic added to the top of the shoe flexes with the tendons of the foot during the movement of lifting. Contoured TPU heel wedge cups the heel for a secure fit. Each pair comes with two insoles: stiff for competition and softer for training. The flat rubber outsole is specially designed to minimize wear in the heel.
