'The Nike Savaleos keeps your feet on a wide, flat base so you stay stable and secure when you lift. The rigid midsole has a raised heel for good power transfer from the ground and support during your most explosive sets.'
What they're for: Lifting weights in the gym, especially squats and leg work. The raised heel helps you squat deeper and makes up for limited ankle mobility.
What's new and key features: The page doesn't announce a new version or any recent changes to the model. These are its main features:
- Stability: a wide, flat outsole and rigid build for better power transfer.
- Support: a hook-and-loop (velcro) strap holds your foot in place on heavy lifts.
- Balance: the raised heel adds stability and also works for bodyweight exercises.
- Comfort: padded mesh at the heel absorbs impact and lets your foot breathe, and the tongue and collar are padded too.
- Other colors: White/Wolf Grey/Metallic Gold, Sail/Deep Royal Blue/Magic Ember/Black, Black/Fog Grey/Laser Orange/White, Black/University Red/White, and Photon Dust/Anthracite/Metallic Silver.
Reviews: 4.5 out of 5 stars from 67 reviews, and 26 of 27 people recommend them. The newest review, from September 2, 2026, is positive. The only real complaint is from March 2026: that reviewer couldn't figure out how to adjust the velcro strap.
