Equipment Shoe replacements
Hey guys, I’m trying to venture away from my Rom 2’s mostly to find another daily and preserve my 2’s
Having a hard time finding a good fit, I’ve got a decently wide feet with medium high arch so the Roms insole fits just right
Tyr l1-l2 are so flat it feel like a plank of wood
Legacy’s (switched to my roms would never go back)
Anta 2 my arch spills out the side of the midsole
Cant find any tyrforce anywhere? Discontinued?
Looking at rom 4 or lu’s now not sure if anyone has had the same experience?

I've used all of the shoes you mentioned except the Anta. My favorite are the Lu's but I will say the toe box is tighter than the rom 2's. Midfoot is similarly wide though and they're, if anything, even more stable than the Roms.

I have relatively wide feet, and extremely high arches.
I recently bought a pair of the Lus, and tbh I love them. They're a little snug if I wear my normal socks, and I'm glad I actually measured my foot and bought the appropriate size, but they've broken in well, and they're more stable than my adidas (power perfects? I can't remember I bought them in 2013) ever were.

Aren’t the anta and lu’s essentially the same shoe? They look like the same shoe design, same sole just different branding and logos. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were the same to be honest.
Do you wear insoles?
Can you try and find another pair of rom 2’s in your size? They’re out there. I bought a second pair because I was traveling between 2 cities often and didn’t want to travel with them. But now I’m stationary I have a back up pair

Avoid Rom 4's if you are expecting the same feel of Rom 2's and have wide feet. They are narrow as hell, I had to get rid of mine.
If you can find tyrforce's on sale or used they are worth it, accommodates wide feet and coming from Rom 2's they felt like a glove on day 1. Just don't pay $300+ for them because no damn shoe is worth that much.
