R.A.D® ONE V2 Review

You know how most training shoes make you choose, either they’re solid under a heavy barbell but feel clunky for conditioning, or they’re flexible for running and jumps but leave you unstable when lifting? The R.A.D® ONE V2 breaks that mold.

Nike Metcon 10 Review

The Metcon 10 feels like Nike finally struck the right balance between structure and comfort. There’s solid stability in the heel and midfoot, but the addition of ReactX foam makes it noticeably more cushioned than the Metcon 9. It still delivers that classic Metcon feel just with more versatility and comfort during fast-paced workouts.

If you want a lifter that actually feels good outside the squat rack too, check out the EZ Lifter from Strike MVMNT. It’s super stable, surprisingly light, and has that sleek trainer feel—kind of like if the Haze Trainer bulked up and got serious about leg day.

The TYR L-2 Lifter builds on everything that made the L-1 great, but with some key upgrades for even better stability, durability, and grip. You still get that awesome wide toe box that made the L-1 such a fan-favorite and revolutionary design in the weightlifting world but now with a reinforced toe guard, upgraded heel counter, and improved traction.

The Inov8 F-Lite training shoes are ridiculously light and comfortable. The first time I put them on, I couldn’t believe how airy they felt. Combine that with the roomy toe box, and it’s like your feet are on vacation, even during tough workouts. They’re so light, it’s almost like you’re not wearing shoes at all—but with all the support and grip you need.
