TYR CXT-1 Trainer
The TYR CXT-1 Trainer has arrived and made quite a name for itself already - firmly cementing itself as a top-notch trainer for CrossFitters. This is my go-to shoe right now. Not only is it the new kid on the block with all the looks and fresh colorways but it offers superior quality and durability that I've quickly come to appreciate. Right out of the box they felt comfortable. I would say it has a pretty standard width, perhaps wider than the Nike Metcon 8 but maybe not quite as wide as the Reebok Nano X2 or X3. If you've been hearing about their anatomical lifting shoe, the TYR L-1 Lifter, that is the shoe that is getting all the hype for their wider toe box but you won't necessarily find the same width with the TYR CXT-1 Trainer (look for an upcoming review of the L-1 Lifter coming soon!).
But back to the TYR CXT-1... During heavy lifting, it's exceptionally stable. I wouldn't say it's my favorite shoe for running, but in terms of versatility and a shoe that's ready to take a pounding, I would totally put this up against any other trainer with great confidence.
If you have yet to try out this shoe and you're up for trying something new, I would definitely recommend it. TYR has been around for quite some time in the competitive swimming space and that gives me confidence that we can expect a continual supply of top-notch footwear and gear for years to come.
