Love that! Whats your foot width? We can only hope 🤞

@@Grumpyoldman666 they’re on my list to buy! Thanks for the nod

Should run TTS. Go with the same size that you traditionally wear in Adidas, Nike, Reebok.

@@thatfitfriend thank you my friend, looking forward to get them for my gym trainings. Keep it up!

These have a better performance for CF and feel more flexible on foot. Project Rock models will give you that bulkier, more built-out feel

Grip should be fine in em!

@@thatfitfriend thank you

I'd go Rapidmove if you can find them on sale! Think they'd work well

@thatfitfriend thanks bro but not in sale it's full price and the store which do have for sale are womens one..

@@Craigbarnes5868 haha, fair enough

Yeah, they can work! I've seen multiple lifters use em and enjoy em. They're kind of like Sambas in that regard.

Either can work. Generally, the Cloud 5 will give you more all-day comfort, though. However, their durability can be so-so especially if you have wider feet and put a lot of stress into their forefoot upper. If you have narrow/medium-width foot, then you'll be fine in em!

@@thatfitfriend my fat toe does put stress on the upper shoes. And always! 😩🤦🏻‍♀️ So I willl grab the X3. Thank you so much for your help!

LOL, Brozer, big shoe is killing you. Need toe splay, bro. Trust me, I deadlift 225 lbs and still have mid performance in the gym 😂

The normal model is not

Pass on the Fly G 295, their grip won't be it for the HYROX sled. The F-Lite 260 V2 could be the move, but if you're having Achilles issues then their density may actually be problematic. Do you find the F-Fly's drop to be more of an issue or their over ground feel? I'm also curious when it bothers you the most. Have you done any rehab/prehab work for it? Have you considered any other brands/models for this ask?

Thanks Jake. I have looked into and am open to other brands but the information is a little overwhelming and focussed on runners rather than cross fitters. A lot of recommended shoes are not looking great for CrossFit. If you have any suggestions, I am all ears! The Achilles is worst in the morning. I am rehabbing with heel raises, hard roller/massage, etc and using a clay wrap overnight. It is improving but slowly. As for the F Fly, no real issues with that, just hearing a higher drop may be kinder for the Achilles. Was looking at higher drop Inov8 shoes cuz I love the fit of their shoes so much. But if you have other suggestions I’d be really grateful - btw I feel my Achilles is non-insertional, higher up the ankle and to the outside of the heel a bit, although the swelling is on the inside, oddly! Thanks so much for responding, best. Simon.

DUDE! I agree. I never understood that. You're using less materials, why are you charging them same ffs. TT used to have diff prices, but not anymore sadly.

Mine have been solid for a year now and I've had other folks DM on IG that there's have lasted multiple years, too! All good signs

These have surprised me, I tell ya

Don't think you can go wrong with either. If your feet are thick and wide, then AVANCUS, if you like a more articulative shoe that has a more traditional fit, Radix.

@@thatfitfriend i have normal to narrow feet so maybe i'll go with Radix then. Thank you!!

@@tz7813 awesome, stoked they’re working!

RAD will likely feel a bit narrow for you - GORUCK is solid, but can feel a bit heavy at times. Have you thought about options like the TYR CXT-2 wide or Inov8 F-Lite Max?

What do you wear currently/how is that shoe's fit for you?

@@thatfitfriend I use nike air force 1 - 8,5 usa. Fits perfect after some days using. Really want this nike tr, would go to the gym/lift and could do some cardio there too. A video of shoes that you recommend like this I think would be a banger

@@Ocean.DreaMz they’re a budget one on wayfair, search 24 shoe rack and it should come up!

I saw em! Can't get my hands on em, but they look interesting...a bit thicc. CXT-2 is worth trying if you can find em for a good deal, imo

Not really - there are better CrossFit-focused options out there. This model's heel can feel a bit clunky, too, if you're running longer than sprints/400m bouts, imo

Ayyy, we are equally addicted, lol. Thank you for sharing this feedback!

Dang…yeah, these I always go a half size up in. Idk why vans want to make some models so dang narrow. It’s wicked frustrating because the fits are meh then

Don’t miss!

They may feel a bit dense for that if you're used to running shoes, imo. Are you looking for a hybrid option?

80 is solid for these, imo!

@@thatfitfriend Yes, I just ordered yesterday! Thank you for providing a proper review.

Love that, bet that feels awesome after

Nooooo - the arch will likely feel super offputting for you

@@dul22 high handle pulls are typically performed with an equal bias of knee and hip flexion. Lower handle will get you more squatty. I’m also 6’ 0” with long a$$ legs so I’ll have more flexion than shorter lifters. If I was doing a hinge variation specifically there would be much less knees but I would point that out like in my trap bar RDL guide

@@andresamell9367 🥲🥲

What size shoe are you?

@@thatfitfriend 10

See you there!

What do you wear currently and how do you train?

​@@thatfitfriendHi jake, thanks for reaching out. I am wearing a converse shoe. I am at the beginner level. I do weightlifting, jump rope, some cardio

@@isurusandaruwan4532 got it, I’d go everyset or Rapidmove from adidas!

Barefoot for free

Ain’t nothing in this world for free AIRHAS/Whitin on Amazon are cheap and tend to do a decent job!

Plug and play, that's the name of the game. You may try a heeled shoe and not like it, and that's totally fine. As long as you're lifting well and efficiently, that's all that matters. Keep in mind, there will be an acclimation period when switching drops, so if it feels weird the first few sessions - that's also normal! Glad this video helped!

EXO if you’re going to use em for it

@@thatfitfriend thanks!! 🙌🏽

@@thatfitfriend thanks!! 🙌🏽

@@jasonbellows7 the WOLACO Warren has been surprisingly stellar. I was skeptical of them, but they’ve been great hybrid shorts and the 5” lined model fits well! Linked them in my latest 5 vs 7 inch shorts video if you want to see them on in person

@@jasonbellows7 you stash your phone in em? That’s what does mine in

⁠I put my phone in the liner, but keep a knife in the zippered pocket, sketchy area sometimes lol. (Knife is covered with a sheath obviously so it’s not stabbing anything ) I also babied them by washing on delicate and air drying. Sucks because they look great and overall are good short. 😢

@@jasonbellows7 dang. The synthetic layer is constantly having issues with certain things - bigger phone usually cause that, interesting to hear about your case!

Yeah, 11.5 wide would be the move, imo!

Altra and TOPO will likely feel a bit too wide in pretty much all of their models, I feel. You may want to look into Inov8. They make some sickkkkk trail shoes with wicked good grip/tread

These would feel a smidge wider, imo!

@@CptAngelKGaming more padding, I honestly like it from a comfort pov
