My feet end up rotating outwards mid squat because the soles on the Romaleos aren't as grippy as I'd like. They don't seem to stick to the platform like my old shoes did. Anybody have any ideas on how to give them more traction?

Thought about this, but not sure how effective it is or how often I'd have to reapply it.
Google came up with some skating forums and a lot of them are saying that Shoe Goo made their shoes less grippy. I suppose skateboards are a bit different than platforms though.
What is your platform surface?
Unless your platform is really slick, the problem may just be that you are squatting with your weight too much on your heels.
I've had the same thing happen and that was the culprit.
Sounds like an issue with the platform surface.
It's a hammer fitness platform (glossy wood).
Spraying it with cleaner and giving it a good wipe makes things much better, but there's still some rotation by the end of the set. A big part of it is that I have to squat toes forward, which makes it much easier for my feet to rotate without really good grip.
