The arrival of the Reebok Nano X4, the 14th version of the Nano series, sparked excitement, especially knowing that even-numbered releases typically bring improvements over their odd-numbered predecessors. The X4 lives up to this expectation.
The all-new Nike Metcon 9 has dropped, and folks in the training shoe scene were pretty stoked about it. We knew it was going to get a serious makeover, and boy, did it deliver! One of the first things you notice when you put the shoe on is a wider toe box.
The Nike Free Metcon 5 offers immediate comfort and notable improvements over its predecessor, especially in its more stretchy and breathable upper. Although its midsole and outsole remain similar to the Free Metcon 4, the shoe now features a larger opening in the tongue and collar for easier wear.
This year I was looking to replace my old 2017 Reebok lifters. They've certainly taken a beating over the years. I wanted to try something new and with all the recent hype and attention on the new TYR L-1 Lifters and their anatomical design (i.e. wider toe box), I decided to try these out and test it for myself.
I've put the Reebok Nano X3 to the test for awhile now and I have to say that Reebok has built a shoe that is very well-balanced. They are surprisingly nimble and flexible enough to run and move fast.
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.
Overall, the Nike Metcon 8 is an excellent shoe. It's built on the same tooling as the Metcon 7 - the midsole and outsole did not change. However, Nike did redo the mesh upper to make it more breathable and durable.
The Strike Movement Haze Trainer received high praise from Joel Te, a well-trusted shoe expert on Instagram and YouTube aka As Many Reviews As Possible). In 2021, he named the Haze Trainer as the #1 CrossFit shoe. Its exceptional versatility allows for running, heavy lifting, and travel, while maintaining comfort and style.
