As a follow up of sorts, I finally was able to try out the Romaleos last night. Wow! What a difference from my Adidas Powerlifts! My feet felt nailed to the floor. Squat, press, dead all felt super solid. The Powerlifts were certainly a step up from the sneakers I had been using, but the Romaleos feel like at least as big a jump in stability and support as the Adidas over the sneakers.
