I switched to these from the first (orange with the bottom pair of eyelets still) generation adipowers since I've pretty much worn the rubber out of the soles where it matters. While the toe box of my adipowers broke in, they were pretty narrow for my wide feet to begin with. The Romaleos 2 toe box fit me really well off the bat (I'm an E width) and I prefer the competition insoles. Not sure if the heel drop is deeper or not, but it surely feels like it in a good way. Light, but feel stable for all lifts - no give at all in regards to torsion so I can rotate my hip capsule as much as possible without feeling like I'm sacrificing any stability or blow my foot out the side. Regular shoe size: 9-10 Wide (E) depending on the shoe AdiPower - size 9 Romaleos 2 - size 9 I found the length of the romaleos to be more true to size, and the width to be perfect for me.
I have really small feet like size 3. And I got 2.5's in men (4.5 in women) and they fit me perfect!
Love these shoes. I can turn my toes more forward in my squat and I can already notice a difference in my lifts. Wish I could say they have added 20# but I'm happy with the toes being straighter!! And the Olympic model is just really cool! Everyone comments on them! So happy with my purchase!
So far I've worn these once and I'm already in love!! So worth it
