Inov-8 F-Lite 270 Training Shoe Review
First Impressions: Snug! Lightweight, cushioned. NoBull?
Although they look a lot like another cross trainer on the market (ahem Nobull), they're lighter and they have more cushion.
It's definitely a low profile shoe - you feel closer to the ground which I like. The flex is good: not too much, not too little. It feels stable enough for the amount of weight I lift but if you're going heavy often you'll want to level up to something more supportive.
I’m pretty much a size 9.5 all the way around (Nanos, Metcons, Nobulls, etc.), some versions fit a little smaller, some more narrow, but I’ve never had to deviate from a size 9.5. I did for this shoe, I needed a size 10 so be sure to size up.
Overall this is a solid choice that you can run in for short distances. If you're looking for a lightweight shoe with cushion, or just want to try something different you'll be happy with the F-Lite 270.

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.
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.
Designed by U.S. veterans, this no-frills trainer brings an authentic, rugged edge to the performance space. From the first wear, it’s clear this shoe was made to go hard—whether you're hammering through a Hero WOD, HIIT, strength circuits, or just racking up steps on a busy day.
