adidas Powerlift 3.1 vs Nike Romaleos 4 - Where are the differences?

Let us take a closer look at the differences between the two weightlifting shoes adidas Powerlift 3.1 and Nike Romaleos 4.

Heel Higth

The heel height (blast) is the core element of every weightlifter shoe. Most models have a heel height of about 0.7". This corresponds to a blast of 17 millimeters. With 15,0 mm excitation is the adidas Powerlift 3.1 flatter than the Nike Romaleos 4 with 20,0 mm.

The right heel height depends a little bit on you personally. With long legs you should rather choose a higher heel height. In this comparison the Nike Romaleos 4 would be the better model.

The way you perform your squat also plays a role in the decision. If you have a tight stance as well as the high bar squat, a larger blast is recommended. So again the Romaleos 4 is the variant with the higher heel for you. With a wide stand or the low-bar squat, a flatter blast is more suitable. With the comparison of the adidas Powerlift 3.1 and the Nike Romaleos 4} that would be the Powerlift 3.1.
