Adidas made the impossible. Not only a great shoe for lifting but also for running. Comfortable, light and looks great!

[@thatfitfriend]

Agreed! Dropset has become a solid model 👌

[@jamesfranko1568]

You are lying lol the back upper part is way too high to be suitable for running let alone fast pace walking and it's heavy lol

[@thatfitfriend]

@@jamesfranko1568 bruh, at no point did anyone say it’s amazing for running but it can work, especially if you’re a forefoot and midfoot striker doing short bouts. I legit say in this review not great for long running and heel strikers because of the heel. Did you watch the video or you just spouting off based off of limited contexts in comments? 😂

[@jamesfranko1568]

@@thatfitfriend I actually own this pair lol I love the design so much which is why I kind of am a repeat customer of this for 3 times but I've given up on it cuz the upper back is just way too high not only that but hard plastics and gave me blister on achilles at any given time so I had to stop. You are paid by Adidas. I have no problem when I'm wearing socks above my ankle but this is definitely not a shoe for high intensity exercises.

[@thatfitfriend]

@@jamesfranko1568 I’m not paid, lmao. I buy everything on this channel - you must be new here, huh? Ask anyone who’s been around if I’m paid… I also mention how the higher boot can be a turnoff for some. You likely have a flatter Achilles which causes that rub which can happen in some - part of the individuality of stuff, but you can’t blanket your own issues on everyone - make it known but to speak so bluntly for everyone shows your lack of understanding of the review/channel. You had a bad experience with em which is fine, but share that context as to why for folks and move on. You sound like youre projecting your bad experience and taking it out on my review, lol.

[@carsons5750]

Thanks Jake, it was your videos that got me in the excellent Dropset 2, and your videos that let me know that this newer model won't work as well. Invaluable! I am exactly who you are describing at 3:22

[@thatfitfriend]

Ayy, stoked the videos have helped you!

[@SteveBIRK]

I only have one lift in them and it was a heavy squat day and they were PLANTED. My RADs are pretty stable too but I think the heel in the DS3 makes it feel a tad sturdier. I did have some issue with the heel going up so high on a walk I got some rubbing. Wasn't that much of an issue during the lift. I have a 2E foot and they fit great but you are right about the toe box being a little aggressive. Nothing too serious and it felt like it loosened up by the end of the workout. Have yet to try them crossfit.

i've noticed that on adidas's website, in details section, the dropset 2 has Traxion outsole (i believe it means full Traxion outsole) , but the dropset 3 has Adiwear 6 outsole with Traxion heel (so that means it only has Traxion at the heel). Do you feel any difference between those outsoles?

Heyo!, I watched the video because I'm considering buying some new shoes for the gym. I've been eyeing some weightlifting shoes because I love squats, and I find that an extra heel could help, but I'm not sure because buying so specific for squats could not be the best. What do you think of these shoes for squats? Could it be good for someone with decent mobility?

[@thatfitfriend]

These can be decent for that, imo, especially if you're not trying to spend on multiple pairs from the jump. Plus, you can use these for other things so you'll tick your squat and normal lifting/cross-training boxes. I'd start with the Dropset, use em for a few blocks, then assess as you get more data on your performance.

[@eveanddell]

Sad to say I am still rocking my Metcon 5s that I love and because I'm afraid to switch to something new. I think these may be a good incentive to finally switch.

[@thatfitfriend]

@@eveanddell nothing sad about it, homie! Those are sick and if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. These will be solid when the time comes

[@lozontheinternet]

Hey Jake! Thanks for this review, I ended up getting the Dropset 3 (all pink women’s ones - so nice!!) and got a UK 6.5 (I’m usually a 6 or 6.5 in Adidas and Nike, depending on the shoe, and the dropset 3’s fit, but only just. Do they give slightly once they’re broken in? The issue I’m having is that it’s slightly snug around my big toe on my left foot (it must be slightly bigger on that side and my right foot is fine). I feel like the UK 7 would be too big and my foot might feel less stable? Would appreciate your thoughts on this, thanks!

[@thatfitfriend]

Hey! They should break in a bit more as you wear. I feel like if the one fits and the other is a little snug, then you'll probably be okay if it's just a slight tightness on the left side. As long as you're not dying in them, then you should be okay or I'd also grab some thinner socks which may also help if you haven't tried that yet!

[@lozontheinternet]

@ thanks Jake! That makes me feel reassured for sure. I actually wore them to the gym today for the first time and I can’t believe how stable I felt doing RDLs! So happy I got them!

[@strawberypocky]

If i don’t really squat, but mainly just do hip thrust, rdl, b split squats, and stair master, which shoe should i get? i’m deciding between these ones, metcon 6, reebok nano x4, and nike blazers (which i got for christmas but is thinking of returning for one of the above😅)

[@thatfitfriend]

All of them can work! I'd go with the shoe that fits and feels best for your feet. The Blazer will run warm for stair master. Nano X4 can be great, but if the arch is meh, then I'd return. Free Metcon 6 is going to be the most versatile which may be the move, imo!

[@HealthSX]

Hey, which shoe would be best for HIIT or cardio workout? I would want to use the dropset for the gym (squats, Lunges, machine and weights mainly for strength and resistance training), and if I’m doing HIIT separately on other occasions, which shoe best serves this function? Second question, ASICS superblast 2 is the best running shoes hand downs? 🤣

[@thatfitfriend]

There are a lot of options out there! Adidas RapidMove can work great so can Nike Free Metcon 6 and PUMA PWR Nitro Squared models. Haha, I haven't tried them so I can't speak to them!

[@imborednevermind]

Can you wear this shoe for trampoline workout? If yes,wiill it give you long-term foot problems if you wear it regularly for trampoline workout? Thanks in advance jake!

[@thatfitfriend]

It should be okay regarding its performance!...however, I'm not comfortable answering the "long-term foot problems" part of this ask because that's multi-factorial and to say definitively without seeing your movement mechanics/lifestyle would be irresponsible of me.

What would be the best shoe to go to for crossfit class workouts. I currently have tribase 5 looking to upgrade from that. Confused between dropset 3 tribase 6 and metcon 9

[@wuti463]

Hey Jake,My main training exercises are bench press, deadlift, and squat. For cardio, I do jump rope (limited to under 30 minutes). My foot length is 26 cm, and my foot width is 10.2 cm. Which would you recommend between the DROPSET 3, Metcon 9, and Nano X4

[@thatfitfriend]

I'd go Dropset 3 or Nano X4! Grab the same size that you wear in your normal running/training shoes. Both models are pretty true to size. Nano X4 is more narrow FYI

[@DimaXer88]

Hi Jake, I'm a new subscriber in need of help. I'm about to join a gym again after 15 years and I'm having trouble deciding which shoes to buy. I hope you can help me and your reviews already helped me a lot narrowing it down. I'm planning on doing mainly bodybuilding (incorporating the 3 powerlifts) and just some light cardio as warm-up before the weights. In my case, which shoes would you pick between Dropset 3 and The Total? Toe-box width-wise, they're similar, right? I have wide feet. There isn't much difference in heel elevation, right? I can only afford one pair of gym shoes right now and I really want to make the right choice. Thank you in advance.

[@thatfitfriend]

Hey, welcome! I'd go Dropset 3 and prob size up a half-size if you have wide feet. Their heel difference is noticeable. The Dropset 3 has a 6mm drop and the Total is flat. Both can work, though, so if your gut is saying Total, then don't second guess it proceed because you'll be fine. The Dropset 3 will give you more range if you want to add in cross-training/HIIT to your sessions, too

[@그냥뭐-k4h]

Hi Jake, love your videos! Not too many fitness KZbinrs do informative and indepth shoe reviews like yours in my country 😧 Just wanted to ask for some tips as I'm really divided between getting Adidas Dropset 3 vs UA Tribase 5. I'm a regular gym goer and mostly do weightlifting such as squat, deadlift, benchpress without plyometrics and definitely no crossfit. So I'm looking for a shoe with a lifting bias that I can just comfortably squat and deadlift in at the same time. I've been using Metcon 3 with 4mm offset while Dropset 3 and Tribase Reign 5 each have 6mm and 2mm. I like the way how my 4mm shoe feels when lifting and was wondering if the 6mm or 2mm offset will make a huge difference (and which will be better for my lifting needs like squats and deadlifts). I know 2mm probably won't make too much of a difference but I did hear heel elevation can be a help for squats but hurt when it comes to deadlifts and vice versa for lower offset. Is there one that you'd recommend between the two?

[@thatfitfriend]

Eh, probably not that big of a deal if you don't have any specific issues with mobility/mechanics! I'd go Dropset 3, then for deads, if you find the heel to be too much you can ditch them and pull barefoot!

Can lace them through the lowest then cross them etc. It's really dealer's choice with em', I'd suggest playing around and seeing what feels and works the best!

Hey Jake, what shoes would you recommend for a 2E-3E width foot and a high arch? I currently own the primus lite 3s but find them too narrow in the midfoot (the toebox is fine) and too flat for my high arch. I'm thinking of trying these but I'm a little concerned they're going to be too narrow in the midfoot as well. Also considering the primitive savage 1s but i'm interested to see if you think there are any better options.

[@thatfitfriend]

If you try these out, I'd go through Adidas or Amazon so you can easily return in case they're too snug. I'd try Born Prim Savage 1 or VIKTOS Core Gym/2 - those may give you the space/width you're after!

[@renaud_]

Cool review but I would like to see a comparison section where you compare the tested shoe with other models. Many of us do not have the opportunity to try all the models and it would allow us to better "understand" the shoe since. I love the UA Tribase Reign 2 and still wear them now but it's time to retire them🤣I don't like what UA did with the new iterations, so I just ordered the Dropset 3 and Nano X4. I would like to test the Haze, RAD One and CX-T2 but it is not easy to find them in Europe (Belgium). I can order them but it's not easy to know which size to choose and given the costs, returns are almost impossible. The Dropset 3 feel good on feet but I don't think I could use them for all my WODs. Which shoe would you choose to go with?

[@thatfitfriend]

I have round-ups and film comparisons separately! Haha, feel you - no one wants to spend all of that on them, too, which is my goal. Save you time and money. I’ll have more comparisons as I test them more. If I did it all in one video, then it would be like 30-40 minutes long 😅 CXT-2 and DS3 is one of my next ones I’d try RAD if you have narrow or medium foot width! Haze is also sick and TYR is good but may feel too chunky for you through the midfoot if you don’t love the newer Nanos

[@renaud_]

@@thatfitfriendI would watch that 40 min video 😂 But I understand that you want to test it more. I do have a narrow foot so interesting comment on the RAD 😬 The Nano X4 wears pretty well at first glance. I ordered another size just to be sure. Thanks for your feedback 🙌🏻

I tried the Dropset 2 and I think the Dropset 3 is going in the wrong direction width wise. Reebok has done the same in the Nano series post the x2. Instead they need to copy what Nike has done with the latest Metcon, those are wider than Reebok and Adidas now and therefore more accessible to a larger segment of the population.

I just bought these and tried them out for a leg day. I usually buy a 1/2 size up for my shoes because my feet are wide, so I go with a size 10. I have 2 other pairs of Adidas that are size 10s. This is the widest shoe I’ve ever bought, I have too much room for my foot to move. It doesn’t look any bigger than my other Adidas 10s, and my toe is where it usually is, but I don’t feel like I can get it tight enough, especially around the ankle. My heel doesn’t really stay put. Performance wise they are great though. I just wish the fit was more natural, but I’m new to training shoes so maybe that’s just how they are.

Interesting! Then def don't go with the 2s because they feel wider than these, LOL. It may just be that this shoe's last doesn't align with your foot anatomy. It's not incredibly uncommon to experience that and to try multiple models when starting out to see what fits best.

Hit you back on my other video!

[@irajmatla]

Are these shoes good for running???

[@thatfitfriend]

No! Can work for sprints/short intervals, but anything over 1-2 miles can be uncomfortable!

[@Anurag7Teen]

Are these good for flat feet ?

[@thatfitfriend]

Eh, they have some arch. Def not the best! BP Savage 1/VIKTOS Core Gym can be better flat feet options

Who wears training shoes outside the gym?

[@thatfitfriend]

A lot of people. Many a contexts outside of your personal use case, homie. For example, I rock em casually if running errands and going to train or don’t feel like bringing multiple pairs with me. I know a lot of folks who walk to their gyms in diff countries and like wearing them to and from, and there are always comments on videos asking so I test for that 🫡 Peep my other Dropset videos, always comments about that cut out in rainy settings

[@insearchofYAH]

I do as well. I rock the nano glide tr v2 at work and ruck with them as well.

[@rolffaustienpaglinawan1269]

the dropset 2 is the worst. wear and tear is terrible i am afraid if the 3 has the same condition.

[@thatfitfriend]

@@rolffaustienpaglinawan1269 how fast did yours break down? The 3 is better if it was the upper that gave you issues

[@rolffaustienpaglinawan1269]

@thatfitfriend that's why i'm hesitant to buy another from the same line because of the issue. But the comfort fitting is 💯

[@Salondoradoeventos]

so buy dropset 2 ? hahhaah

[@thatfitfriend]

If you can find a good sale!
