Hello fellow niketalkers.
I'm on the hunt for a good shoe for my weightlifting workouts. The only exercises where I really need good shoes are squats and deadlifts. Obviously I don't really care about the shoes when I'm benching or doing chin ups.
I'm looking at the adipure trainer and the nike romaleos II. The romaleos looks good but is seems more geared towards olympic lifts, whihc I don't really do. I lift for muscle mass, not to compete. Plus I can only find them in the US or Australia, so the $200 retail jumps to 280 when you add shipping to London and taxes. And if I don't like the fit, I'm out $280.
The adipure looks decent and I can get it here for about $120. But I'm not sure if it performs well or is just a marketing gimmick.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
