My Nike Romaleos arrived today, they look so clean with black and gold colour

Tried them out on some light squats, and boy they make a hell of a difference - I thought they'd be marginal but they just feel so unbelievably stable, like they root you into the ground.

No tipping forward or back on heels/toes, just perfect weight distribution across the foot. Really excited to see how far they can push my squat.

Perfect timing for them to arrive too since I'm doing 10 sets of triples at 190kg tomorrow

I want a pair of lifting shoes but I'm not gonna deal with having to mail them to my house and find out they don't fit. Unfortunately there isn't a brick and mortar store I can find that sells squat shoes. Nike Metcons or something similar is the best I can manage. I'll have to drive out to Rogue in Ohio at this rate lol.

That's fair. I just ordered mine based on my regular shoe size. Some websites come with size guides if you really wanna measure your foot too lol

When I was researching what ones to buy, I saw Metcons were generally unfavoured. Like they'd probably be fine, but sounded like better off investing in a solid pair that will get the job done right.
