Nike Romaleos 3 XD vs Reebok Legacylifter - Where are the differences?

Let us take a closer look at the differences between the two weightlifting shoes Nike Romaleos 3 XD and Reebok Legacylifter.

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. The paragraph height of the Romaleos 3 XD is 20,0 mm. This means that the blast is higher than for the Legacylifter with 15,5 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 case the Nike Romaleos 3 XD would be the better choice.

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. Therefore the Romaleos 3 XD is also the variant with the higher heel. With a wide stand or the low-bar squat, a flatter blast is more suitable. When comparing the Nike Romaleos 3 XD and the Reebok Legacylifter this would be the Legacylifter.

Verschluss

Both shoes have laces for closure. Neither of the two models has a tension lock for extremely good hold. However, this is of more interest to the elite of weightlifters.
