Do shoes matter for CrossFit? YES, here's 4 reasons why!

this is probably the best video you'll find when it comes to deep diving into crossfit shoes

[@thatfitfriend]

Thanks, dude! Just some of my observations and what I like to look for. Hope it helps others who may not know where to start!

[@ADyess086]

Bought my first pair for Rads from your review. Definitely my go to now!!

[@thatfitfriend]

Let's go! Love that

Glad it helps!

What is your opinion on Motus Strength by Vivobarefoot for CrossFit?

[@PhilipOon]

Hey Jake, nice to see your video again, I had received my UK size 7.5 of nano x3 adventure I got a thumb space in my shore I still found it lose & I not sure if I buy the UK size 7 would it fit more or too tide & I found it a bit slipery at the tile floor with water, I not sure is it due to its still new. Thanks for the knowledge helping us get our best shoe. 👍👍🙌🙌

[@thatfitfriend]

If you're sliding in this model, then opting for a 7 might be the better call. It really depends if that amount of room is hindering your performance at all. If it is, then I'd go down and play it safe!

Great review with some stellar info to consider. Still rocking my Nano X3's & CXT-1's. I know they just released a runner, but any word on a R.A.D. 2 training shoe? (I guess they're going with the, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", mentality.) 😁

[@thatfitfriend]

No word. Tbh, I'm glad the smaller companies don't pump out new models every year. Feel like the Reebok/Nikes have gotten into a weird place where it feels forced at times and they end up breaking good stuff. If anything, it would be nice to see RAD offer a wider option of the RAD ONE

[@capt1941]

@@thatfitfriend - Totally agree

[@capt1941]

You can also add the UA Project Rock trainers to that list of forced changes, that are not for the better.

🤝🤝 appreciate ya!

[@krakatoasundra]

[@thatfitfriend]

Thank you!

What about the Nobull?

[@thatfitfriend]

They’re fine, but def not a top model in 2023 imo

[@jcsanchez6298]

Hi Jake. I have been doing CrossFit for many years with running shoes because I owned a Nano 8 and I found them really stiff. Now I am thinking of getting a Crossfit shoe again trying to improve the efficiency but I am a little bit concerned because of my bad experience. What CrossFit shoe model do you recommend to be more comfortable?

[@thatfitfriend]

I would look into models like the Inov-8 F-Lite G 300 or RAD ONE. Both should have a plusher ride for you!

[@jcsanchez6298]

Thank you very much for your quick reply :)@@thatfitfriend

[@thatfitfriend]

@@jcsanchez6298 welcome!

[@joekoch7580]

I have super flat feet... Are any/all of the shoes in this video good options?

[@thatfitfriend]

I'd look into the Born Primitive Savage 1 or Reebok Nano 2.0. Think those would be good options to explore first then if those have awkward fits we could adjust from there!

[@joekoch7580]

Awesome, thanks! Love the content@@thatfitfriend

[@mrreece8986]

I've just started crossfit I use Nike air max sc there probably the worse shoes you can use 😂 I'm gonna save up and buy something a bit better

[@thatfitfriend]

I’m doing giveaways for the holidays! Stay tuned and hopefully I can hook you up with some new shoes!
