[@gregoryneedsaname]

I made the mistake of walking through a puddle while wearing the dropset 2. I'm glad you called that out, it's a significant concern if you live in a wet climate and plan on wearing them outside.

[@thatfitfriend]

Such a weird niche thing, right? Thanks for checking out the video!

[@fabriciodias4883]

Jake, for crossfit, short run and gym. Dropset 3 or nano x4?

[@thatfitfriend]

Nano X4, but if you like less arch and need more toe box room, go Dropset 3

[@RenoFriends]

​​@@thatfitfriendHi Jake, and in between that 2 and also de Reign 6, which one would help more with my chondromalacia patella knee problem? I need some more damping since I've been training with barefoot shoes and I feel it would be better with a more robust and shock absorbing shoe. I do cross training, and general gym strong trainings. Thanks!

[@rafael-rossi]

This color looks great. Hope to see a thorough review. I just got the 2s on sale, but will consider getting the 3s as well.

[@thatfitfriend]

Future! Need more sessions in em :) Solid line up right there

[@samuelgonzales9775]

Got my 2s today on the mail. They were on sale plus I had a 30% off plus free shipping coupon

[@juliogadea7794]

Great review bro, keep it going 💪🏼

[@thatfitfriend]

Thank you, friend! I'll have the full review soon enough!

[@Lexa19958]

Just bought Dropset 2 few days ago based on your review! 😂Will you recommend getting Dropset 3? I mostly do deadlifts, squats, hip thrust and lunges. I don’t train outdoors or do any CrossFit.

[@thatfitfriend]

I'd rock the 2 until they break. They're great shoes and you'll be happy. No need to spend and buy more for now!

[@SteveBIRK]

Glad to see Adidas kept it simple with the upgrades. I was contemplating trying the 2s out. Are these wider than the RADs?

[@thatfitfriend]

Agreed. Yes they are!

[@HealthSX]

What’s the best colour way in your opinion for the dropset 3?

[@thatfitfriend]

Ahh, I love the neutral colorways!

[@mitsinai3091]

Great review. Which shoes would you recommend for someone going to the gym 3 to 4 times a week and walking 5 miles a day? or if you had to recommend 2 shoes, which ones would you recommend?

[@thatfitfriend]

Got you - What do you wear currently? Do you have any budget constraints? Adidas Rapidmove can be great if you want a budget model, Inov8 F Fly if you want a shoe for a bit more running, Dropset Trainer 3 can work but it will run a little more dense, Nano X4 can also be great but has a pretty pronounced arch! I'd start with those!

[@mikebahrami]

5:59 I'm Really interested in this, but since I live in England where it always rains, it seems like a no-go. :-( It's a shame as my first CrossFit shoes which I love and still occasionally use are the Adidas CrazyPower Trainers (bought 2017). I think those need to be brought back!

[@thatfitfriend]

Ah, yeah, you'd be one the lifters who'd fall into that niche context! The CrazyPowers were mad cool

[@gundamOPS]

I'm glad they update the upper. Dropset 2's upper material wasn't very durable.

[@thatfitfriend]

Yeah, that was the one problematic area I know some had with the 2s. I’m a sucker for lighter materials, but I also recognize that comes with a drawback at times

[@matty9217]

Hello Jake, what model is better? Dropset 2 or Dropset 3?

[@thatfitfriend]

Both are great, cop the 2 if you can get them on sale

It does feel like the 2 just dropped, but I guess it's been awhile. Great first impressions vid.

[@thatfitfriend]

Dude, a year! There was another comment saying that. I stand by my statement because everyone I’ve spoken to feels like time is going faster these days, Someone has turned up the speed of our simulation 👀

[@tonyku5354]

Hi jake I just start researching about work out shoes and stumbled upon your videos and felt your content seemed to provide the best information about shoes. Last night i watched tons of your video and i have a question, i have a narrow feet, squat and dead lift around 150 lbs. Do some light running and basic gym exercises. No cross fit but i hit the gym 4 days a week. Do you recommend this shoe or something else. I saw your best shoe for 2024 but still not sure what shoe to pick.

[@thatfitfriend]

I’d look into models like the Nike Free Metcon 5/6! Will be comfier for running asks Thank you for checking out the channel!

[@kevinappearshere]

I heard about their first release by end of May at the Les Mills Live event in China with some limited pink color editions😍

[@kevinappearshere]

Btw Jake I find these CrossFit trainers becoming popular called FETAQ AllMove 3 not sure if you have ever come across. They offer interchangeable inner soles for different CrossFit workouts which is a highlight.

[@thatfitfriend]

Ayyy!

[@umm_khaled]

Hi Jake, thanks so much for the review! Need advice - I’m looking at getting shoes for training - 99% of the time powerlifting indoors. Already have dedicated running shoes. Where I’m at, the Dropset 2’s are 40% off as they’re rolling out the 3’s. Ngl, the pink 3’s are super cute but is it worth paying full price when the 2’s are on sale? 😅 Lmk! You’re basically the only channel I watch for shoe reviews lol.

[@thatfitfriend]

I'd go 2s but I'm also more frugal with stuff like this. Plus, the 3s will be out for a while so you can always come back to them when they have future sales :) Ay, thank you so much for that!

[@umm_khaled]

@@thatfitfriend2’s it is then! Thank you!

[@edfono]

Hi 😊 For gym training(weight lifting and machines) and some walk/run on the treadmill Dropset3 or nano x4? Thanks a lot for this videos

[@thatfitfriend]

Nano X4! They'll be a smidge more runnable. The Dropset 3 is the stronger shoe for lifting and cross-training, though.

[@edfono]

@@thatfitfriend thanks a lot 🫡

[@thatfitfriend]

@@edfono got you 🤝

[@Virru112]

Nice informative review. I’ve been looking for a replacement for the metcon 6 but found the 9 to chunky. Would this be a suitable replacement potentially?

[@thatfitfriend]

I'd go with these or the Dropset 2s if you feel like saving some monies!

[@Virru112]

@@thatfitfriend thanks mate, i appreciate it. I placed an order for the Dropset 3s.. arrive tomorrow!

[@shoresy6951]

Hey Jake! How would you compare these to the original dropsets?

[@thatfitfriend]

These have a bit more bias toward weightlifting, imo. Can work great for c & j, snatches, traditional strength. Uppers feel similar regarding weight/rigidity.

[@shoresy6951]

​@@thatfitfriend Awesome, been looking for a good weightlifting shoe.

[@blindeye1234]

Dropset 3 or Nano X4? For Cross Training style hockey combines? Or something else? Great videos btw. :) Love the channel.

[@thatfitfriend]

Dropset 3 all day Thank you!

[@cathycuevas3370]

Question unrelated to this shoe. I’m looking to replace my Nano 9. I like the wide toe box, the 4 mm drop, the stable fit around the ankle AND that there is not a ton of arch. What shoe currently on the market of any brand or price would be a good replacement?

[@thatfitfriend]

These could be a decent replacement, the Born Primitive Savage 1 can also be okay along with the Nano 2.0. I'd try the Dropset 3s first

[@chriscatan1]

For everyday CrossFit and have not used either previous models which would you choose - Nano X4 or Dropset Trainer 3?

[@thatfitfriend]

Dropset 3!

[@merkoutios]

Hi Jake how good are they for body move trainning like berbese or general later movement

[@thatfitfriend]

Solid, imo!

[@watsonswhey]

Are these recommended if strictly used for weightlifting? Cant break the bank on multiple pairs but I'm interested in these vs alternatives like TYR 1s

[@thatfitfriend]

Yep, they can work great!

[@HamishBuckley]

Which would you recommend for HIIT / light cardio and some lifting - deadlifts, squats etc X4 or the new Dropset 3 I don’t have a wide foot.

[@thatfitfriend]

I'd go Dropset 3! Won't be the best for runs over 1-2 miles, but if you're doing quicker intervals then you'll be fine!

[@928guy]

Great review 👍👍

[@thatfitfriend]

Thanks, bruv! I'll have the full review after more testing!

[@dureeceabraham6563]

@thatfitfriend for 2E wide feet would you recommend dropset 2 or 3? Please

[@thatfitfriend]

2 for sure!

[@paparrinsky]

It seems these Dropset 3 weren’t your favorites. Would you compare them against UA Reign6 please? Thanks for the content. Cheers

[@thatfitfriend]

I like them a lot! I’m also still a bit jet lagged so my energy is lowwwwww atm 🙃

I actually like light the weight feel. I'm more nimble. I guess soon as you see heavy discounts on these trainers, the next model isn't far away?

[@thatfitfriend]

That’s the pattern, my friend. Shoes typically release around the same time every year, too

[@pardss9737]

Nano x4 and project 6 and tribase all down in price. A buffet of beauties there. 👀

[@alanpatrick7465]

what's the best shoe for a lot of jumping? are there any shoes with a lot of cushion in the forefoot with stability in the mid and heel? I currently have the rad one and my feet hurt like a bitch after intense jumping workouts.

[@thatfitfriend]

Hmm, you could try something like the Adidas RapidMove or Inov8 F Fly, those may be better for your asks here!

[@JBravoRebel]

What about arch support and toe box?

[@thatfitfriend]

Toe box is decent, and there’s a little arch in these. I’ll discuss this more in my full review :)
