I was a huge Metcon fan (from 4 to 7) and then I watched your 1st review on the DT 2 (few months ago)... I switched to the DT 2... And clearly have done the correct choice...lighter, room for toes and stable. I use it for general training, crossfit and weight lifting

Great review! I just bought the Metcon 9, along with a pair of UA Project Rock 6. I got both strictly for CrossFit. I've eliminated running from my fitness regimen, so that this type of shoe is not ideal for it, is fine with me. I haven't actually tested my Metcon 9s yet.

Been watching some of your reviews for quite a while to help me decide which training shoes to purchase and finally got my Dropset 2 for 2 weeks now! Doing strength and interval training with these for an hour and a half, 4x a week, and I am more than satisfied. Plus, I got it for $65! Definitely a bang for the buck.

Hey Jake! Great vid. How does the ‘felt’ traction compare in these? I’m pretty decided on the Dropset, my only reservation is the traction looks lesser. The entire reason I’m upgrading shows is for traction and flexibility on platforms and pressing sleds.

@@thatfitfriend I got around to testing the Dropset 2 today and i have to say that the stability in them is out of this world.

Felt my feet perfectly planted on the floor with amazing support thanks to the firm section of the shoe. Thanks for the great video review! So far they seem the perfect purchase for my gym needs.

I wacthed alot of your review with these two.And finally just bought dropset2 today ,How long can I use one shoe for just lifting? Can it last for 2 years ? This is the most expensive shoe for me lol. (And my both feet are the same size but it's kinda hurt at the pinky toe at the right side,try figuring it out)
@thatfitfriend7 ай бұрын
Should last a while if you take good care of them! As in the shoe is causing some discomfort?
@Krim0097 ай бұрын
Yeah,I bought it at the shop and walking around there for 2 hrs and feel uncomfortable.Actually it might because of my right foot's pinky structure.It's fine in the gym,not much walking there.might use it for training only. And is there different between shoe for men,women, and unisex? They gave me the unisex one.I might have to try the men one next time,that might be more comfortable. (I got the color black with grey camouflage, it's very cool😂.btw I'm 26.3 cm H,10.7 cm W.bought 9us unisex)

I currently own UA Tribase Reign 4 they are great for my lifting sessions. However, I'm looking to incorporate some sprint intervals into my workout, likely after the lifting. Would the Dropset 2 be a better choice for such a workout (lifting and sprinting on treadmill) compared to the Tribase Reign 4?

I think so, tbh! The toe box is a little more lively and pliable in the Dropset 2s and I've enjoyed them for my sprint workouts.

It sounds like the adidas would be great for stability (not forcing or allowing medial or lateral tipping) and comfortablity for a slow pace walking shoe. Correct? Note: I am female, over 50, and approx. 390 lbs. I have best pain free with low drop (eg. Nike free 7) but looking for a more shock absorbing shoe. You seem to have great insight and I would appreciate your help. Thanks! :)
