Been doing CrossFit for about 8 years. My first 4 shoes were Nano 4’s. Last year I tried the Metcon 6, and what a difference for me. My foot felt a lot more secure. Not great to run in, but rope climbs and box jumps are much better. By the way I’m 72! I love this video.

[@WODprep]

72?! Love it! Keep crushing it Sandi!

[@danillowandersoncs]

Thanks for the tips. I still deciding which one I gonna buy.

[@normr2]

My fav shoe has been my nano 6’s for all-around workouts. Medium drop and very light weight shoe for runs but firm enough when lifting and has great inner ribs for rope climbs. 👍🏼

[@WODprep]

Great shoe for sure!

[@apriletto]

I'm into crossfit since one year.I tried a metcon,and it was absolutely perfect!It is like having nothing on foot!Really good!😆😆😆

[@WODprep]

Great to hear!

[@apriletto]

@@WODprep by the way:is it useful the heel support?Or is it a way to compensate a lack of ankle mobility?I mean,I can normaly squat without it,but could it be useful for bigger weights??🤔😳

[@IAnjulJain]

The video is a little long, however elaborate. Liked the content. Thank you👍

[@julietmorrice3205]

My next shoes will definitely be Inov-8s, they are my absolutely favourite running shoe brand and I’m a convert to low/zero drop especially for marathon+ distance. Currently training in Nobulls though which are comfy and supportive enough (and such pretty designs! 😍) but just a little bit narrow.

Thanks for sharing!

What do you thing about underamour shoes?

[@ElteHupkes]

Inov8 F-Lite 260 is my favorite cross training shoe, anything Inov8 just has that "put them on and forget you're wearing them" for me. Guess I better try those G300's some time... (Trail) running shoes is a whole different rabbit hole.

[@WODprep]

I LOVE these G300's! Wore them all day yesterday and my brothers were jealous of how cool they look 😇

[@WODprep]

The 260 v2s I just got are quickly becoming an all-around go-to! SO MUCH LOVE.

[@ElteHupkes]

@@WODprep How do they compare to the G300's? Need to consider my options for the next time I need a pair of workout shoes 🙃.

[@traceydixon_tdog]

All time favourite cross training shoe : Nano 9, closely followed by Nano X. Not fond of X1's high heel counter because; blisters 😔 Love, love, love the different/freaky patterns you can get in Metcon 6's. Can take or leave No Bulls because they are way expensive (even though I've started collecting them too 😬) Just bought a pair of Puma Fuse because they are cheap (and nasty) and still undecided cos I've only worn them once ... All time favourite running shoe: Brooks Adrenaline, but haven't bought any for ages because I don't run any more ... All time favourite high heeled shoe: Louboutin, Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo 😍😍😍 I'm a big shoe lover (geek) 😂

[@WODprep]

Those 9s are so good. And yes those X1 have been giving people blisters. I will throw in the Inov8 260 v2... they are quickly becoming my #1!

[@jonathonblue]

I’ve stuck with Nanos since the beginning - I own dozen Nanos. I’ve tried Metcons but they are too narrow. I have one pair of nobulls and Love them but not the price. I own a few 0-drop inov8 and like them for running only.

[@WODprep]

Sounds like you've found one you love. I will throw the Inov-8 260's into the mix... I LOVE THEM... just didn't have them in time for this video. A little more support, slightly less than a nano which I like.

[@georgehernandez4195]

Nano 8 have been my favorite shoe. I’ve also tried Metcon 4 & 5. They were ok. My least favorite are the Nobulls. Tried two different pairs and my feet hurt with DU and box jumps. I don’t even dare to try and run in them.

[@WODprep]

LOL we agree on "least favorite training shoe"....😅

[@pharm30]

I have so many shoes. Think metcon 6 are my fav. Not a big fan of the 7s (have Fraser’s). Really like nano 8s and 10s. Just got Inov8 265. I like them, super light and flexible but not great for lifting stability. 🙅🏼‍♂️🙅🏼‍♂️🙅🏼‍♂️ on no bull

[@WODprep]

I hear the 265s are amazing... and yes there's a reason we didn't even mention NoBulls. Blisters... and it's been the same shoe for years. Maybe it's just not made well for my feet.

[@maple1854]

Do we have a discount code for invo g 300😬

[@WODprep]

Not yet... 😌

[@amealor63]

No mention of Nobull except reference to Tia. Interesting…

[@WODprep]

Because all of these shoes are far superior. I'm convinced people like NOBULL because they look nice (which I agree!), but at least for my feet, they are extremely uncomfortable. I'm really rooting for them to release some new CF shoes so we can see some improvement!
