Romaleos 2:
http://store.athleteps.com/products/category/3976.0.1.1.23495.0.0.0.0

I got the obsidian pair on July 4th (USA edition). I had the original romaleos before and I can say the 2s are a big improvement. I'm not sure if they are releasing more than the volt colorway, but I'm pretty sure they are getting new shipments of the current colors. I might be getting the volt color aswell. 2nd pair in a month. lol.

^ they are referring to your 1rm. KellyB said in one of his articles that a 1rm lift shouldn't take more than 4 seconds to complete, if i recall correctly.

how come you don't incorporate any oly lifts - snatch / cleans? i know you don't want to over complicate your training but don't you think it would be beneficial?

The VS athletics can feel really goofy and weird. They have a 1-1/2" heel, no matter what size you are. There is no in between with the VS athletics

My VS Athletics just arrived today. The heel is exactly 1 1/4" or 10/8" while the midsole thickness is 3/8".

10/8 - 3/8 = 7/8.

The effective height of the heel is 7/8". Higher by an eighth of an inch than all the others (I think) except Risots.  My Ristos have an effective height around the same, even though Ristos raise the heel as the shoe size increases to keep the foot angle constant. As far as I know, every WL shoe except Ristos have the same effective heel height for each foot size which means the angle at which it puts each foot is slightly different. Shorter feet will be at a steeper angle than longer feet.

I don't think this has ever been a problem for anyone in the history of WL shoes ever. 3/4" or so effective heel height has worked for people with size 6 shoes and those with size 12. As long as the shoe gets your heel higher than the ball of your foot, it will allow you to get your knees forward in the bottom of the squat while keeping your torso more vertical.

It is probably just me then. I have had my VS athletics for about 2 weeks. I haven't become acclimated to it. I used to squat in chucks.

^^^ I'm a 10.
My recommendation to you is just get a pair of chucks, save your money then go and get a more well thought out shoe. The VS athletic shoe is durable but just not as well thought out as others.

It probably does work. It makes you "think" you are stronger, faster and have more balance. The mind is the most powerful thing in the body.
