HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 окт 2024
- I take a first look at the Reebok Legacy Lifter II - the newest premium weightlifting shoe from #Reebok. This is a first look, but we talk fit, sizing, and feel and compare to the Legacy Lifter original and the #Nike Romaleos 4. #CrossFit
What a great video! U have a real flow to your delivery. I actually already ordered my Legacy ones yesterday on Reebok’s website for half price but wanted to watch a video to reassure myself that I had done right. Basically you reaffirm that in the last paragraph of your review and now I feel like I made the right choice. Hope to see future content. Really great job, I kinda can’t believe I watched the whole thing actually lol
Thanks for watching. The Legacy Lifter original at half price is a STEAL! Good job.
legacylifter2 with one straps is called legacylifter 2
legacylifter1 with 2straps is called legacylifter 1
Got these for about a week now and they are amazing
How is your experience 3 months later?
@@NunoAlexandreMB I still use them every time I squat or bench, so thats a couple of hours per week. Ive got nothing to complain about and it seems like imma use them for a long time to come
@@darobster3190 Thanks for your reply! Do you still find them amazing? I got these and the Adipower 2 this week, trying to find users of both to help me decide :)
@@NunoAlexandreMB well I really needed a high healed shoe to help my squat; thats the main reason I got these. Id say these are superior for oly lifting over the adidas. They also havent creased or anything like that, didnt notice any damage to the shoe, so yea I still find them amazing :D
@@darobster3190 Awesome, thanks a lot once again mate :) Enjoy them and enjoy your training!
Props for the sound test 😁😁😁
18:43 when you say true to size, do you mean in comparison to other weightlifting shoes? I'm planning to get these as a surprise present for a relative, but all I have are his casual and running shoe sizes, which are around 9. Would you suggest going for a 9 as well, or downsizing to 8.5?
It's very hard to recommend because there are so many variations between people's feet - but I would say just get their regular shoe size.
9:00, the legacy two has adjustable lace holders and the more pliable material so it actually has a more precise fitting system with more inputs. despite losing one strap.
I actually laughed out loud when you were talking about the price. An hour ago my cousin got me the 2's at the Reebok outlet for $58.49.
That's a steal for sure! I always get burned because I buy these on the day they drop. I usually spend the $$$ on overnight shipping too. Definitely better if you can wait.
@@fitatmidlife927 Update: wore the 2's 4 times and they are now sitting in a trash heap somewhere. I'm buying up a couple more pairs of originals because they are the best.
@@johnmitchell8487 whats the problem with nr 2
@@trueredlucky954 how familiar are you with the Nike Romaleos?
@@johnmitchell8487 what's wrong with the 2's man?
as I do only Bodybuilding, not powerlifting but caused by my bad ancle fleibility I would need some shoes like that. Would I perform better with the legacy II or would the Reebok Lifter PR II ?
I still have a fresh 2nd pair of Legacy 1's I have waiting in the wings. One could really last a life time. These 2's look great, I'd want a pair but it def won't get the use I'd want it to have.
Yeah, it's hard to wear these shoes out.
Hey, love your videos! Will you be looking into Reebok lifter PR 2s?
Yes, they are on my list. But coming next is the Cloud X, then probably NOBULL.
With sizing did you get the same size 2’s as you did the flex weave?
do you have nanos? if you do how do the legacy lifter 2's fit compared to them.
do you have any issue with heel slip in the nikes? have heard some people say that can be a problem
Yes, I have the Nano 9 and Nano X. The feel is very different than the Nano - the Nano is very WIDE especially in the toe area. That said, I wear an 11 in both the Nano and these. I get 0 heel slip in the Legacy Lifter II, or the Legacy Lifter I. Heel slip can be an indvidual thing - it all depends on your foot!
@@fitatmidlife927 thanks for the reply. very helpful.
how do the nikes compare in fit and any heel slip?
I personally don't get heel slip in either. I do go 1/2 size up on the Romaleos - because otherwise toes are too tight. Here's another tip - I like to wear athletic socks that have extra padding in the heel - that can make the difference between a heel feeling loose - or fitting nicely.
so how did you like them? i see no use review on your channel.
So what’s your take , if I have bought legacy lifter flexweave should I get legacy lifter 2 also , will that make a lot difference in squats or performance
Not going to make a difference - stick with what you've got.
@@fitatmidlife927 and romaleos 4, I like them but already have romaleos 3. Don't wanna buy unnecessarily but I guess I am having the itch to shop because of covid lol
@@SK-jy9pw romaleos 3 are rubbish
T I actually they are not , the tongue is still fine . I won’t call them rubbish but yeah they are not a pure weightlifting shoe.
A little help. My heel to toe measurement in inches is about 10.8", which per the chart says I would use a 9.5 US Men, but i've never used 9.5 shoe size, always 10.5-11 depending on how narrow. Can anyone explain this, not sure what I'm misunderstanding. Thanks
definitely recommend getting a size close to the chart or 1 size up. Otherwise heel slip will too much.
The shoe feels much better like this. I normally wear size 10-10.5, and tried these in size 9 to 10 and it felt bad, with too much heel slip and the mid foot area poked my foot.
I then tried a size 8.5 just 1 size up from my foot measurement per the chart and it felt snug in a good way, locked in, and minimal heel slip.
Could even size down to 8, which is what I should be wearing based on the chart to foot length
The shoe will only stretch more as it wears in
This is still coming soon on their website but thank for your review
Are you outside the US? They launched 7/1 in the US.
Fit At Midlife Yes. The only available one is the white cookies and cream and the black with pink outsole witch is the only sold out color way. Maybe only on Rebook website. In WIT however they’re available.
Thank you for the video!
Sizes are the same in all Rebook shoes? I have the Nano 9 EUR sizes 42.5. I might be getting these ones for weightlifting, should I get the same size?
Every pair of Teebok shoes I've ever had has fit me fine in US Size 11. BUT, these aren't wide in the toe box like the Nanos. So length wise, they feel right, but the width tends to be more narrow.
How come Reebok’s website has this color for women only, and do you know when they might restock?
It's a Men's shoe - I swear :) Get them at WIT Fitness (US). Reebok sold out in under 4 hours, and didn't have this colorway for men.
Currently have the Legacy I and while I love them to bits, I’m not exactly impressed by the durability of the Velcro. I think this is due to the hook side of the Velcro which doesn’t stick as much as « standard » ones.
I’m hesitating to get the Legacy II because of the same Velcro. How do the Velcro straps compare to the ones found on the Romaleos 4?
They feel close to the same for me- except the Rom 4 straps are about 1/2 as wide, because there are two. Unfortunately I can't say how well either will hold up over time. The Reebok velcro felt OK to me (but these are new)
@@fitatmidlife927 Thanks for your reply. I’ll try the Romaleos and will decide. Something odd I found with the new straps is, on the tightest fit, it only use 50% of the Velcro... And I do have flat feet! I don’t have such issues with my current legacy I’s. That being said, I was surprised how effective the single strap is, and as you rightly mention, I feel no difference in fit between the dual and single straps.
My feet measure ~26.8cm but I wear a US size 10 in most sneakers including Reebok Club C 85, wondering if I should stick with 10 or go for 9.5, never owned a pair of lifting shoes before :(
It's very hard for me to say. The Nike lifters are very "pointy" in the toe area - so you might have to go 1/2 size up for width. The Reeboks (in my experience) are fine as is. I order my normal size for Reebok.
Reebok Legacy Lifter //Reebok Legacy Lifter II same size?
Yes - at least the same sizing worked for me.
@@fitatmidlife927 Thanks
Is reebok legacy lifter 2 and reebok 'training' legacy lifter 2 is the same one?
I'm not familiar with a Reebok Training Legacy Lifter 2. Do you have a link?
I wear a 10 in NOBULL training shoes that run true to size and I wear Adidas Powerlift 4 in 10.5 and they fit snug. Would I go with the 10.5 or 10 does anyone know?!?
11 in both NOULL and Powerlift 4 fits me fine. That said, I get more and more hesitant to give people shoe size advice. Some people have wide feet, some narrow , some have a high arch, some low, etc.
I waited on Reebok and they were sold out immediately. Where did you get them?
WIT Fitness US
Forgot to mention, I tried to get them at Reebok as well, they must have sold out in about 4 hours time...
Effective heel??
Cuanto mide el taco de las reebok Legacy 2?
I'm not certain if I'm understanding your question , but the heel to toe drop is 22mm - I think.
My Velcro straps seems to short?
Shorter than what's shown here? ruclips.net/video/IfARnniV6Sw/видео.html
It would be helpful if we could see you actually lifting in them
I'm hoping to be able to provide that later this year.
@@fitatmidlife927 thta would be great. I apologize that comment sounded a little rude
Just got the legacy's for £83 bargain
That's a great deal!
This vs Nike's?
Very, very similar. This has more drop, and is quieter (assuming you are talking Romaleos 4). Either will work.
Got them for a bargain at the outlet. $90 for me and my buddy
Just bought these for 95 bucks
13:03 "denth cloth"
LOL was too lazy to re-do that part.
What is heel height ?
I believe it to be the same 22mm as the Legacy Lifter I.
@@fitatmidlife927 looks like more than 22. It looks like my air max which is 4 cm
The Nikes toe LOOKS wider, oddly.
Yeah, it's deceptive. Sometime there's less room on the interior though, or less height vertically at the edges if that makes sense. Really the best option is to try them on for yourself, but that's so hard to do with these shoes.
@@fitatmidlife927 got their size 14. Too small. Returning tomorrow. Really enjoy the shoe otherwise.
Never buy these new from the factory I bought both pairs reviewed here each for $50 plus tax. Shop around folks. People practically give them away on Facebook marketplace and sometimes on eBay. Theres always a deal to find if you find them in your size
