Another banger. Good work Jake! These look like another solid option. But I will continue holding out for the 380 update.

Thank you for checking out the video 🫡🤝

@@thatfitfriend what is your favorite 2 shoes for Hiit, some treadmill running but mainly kettlebell, deadlifts,etc...

[@Eriquillo24]

Inov-8 and Reebok are my go to cross trainers. I alternate them on gym days. Thanks for the review Jake!

[@thatfitfriend]

Ayyy, solid lineup right there! Thank you for checking it out

[@stef7321]

Mine are arriving Friday, very keen to feel this tpu in real life.

[@thatfitfriend]

@@stef7321 let me know! If you’ve worn the metcon, it likely won’t feel as jarring but you def notice it at times

[@kaibeste7942]

Great review! I have wide, high-volume, boxy feet, and as much as I love the construction and colorways of the Nanos, they were squeezing my feet a bit too much. I was going back and forth between the F-Liteand the Savage 1. This helped me finally pull the trigger on the F-Lite. Only one workout deep, but so far loving them. I don't mind the longer laces, I use them to make a runner's lock. With that and the boot construction the shoe feels ultra secure. I wouldn't use them for any sort of running or even longer walks, the heel is just too stiff for that.

[@thatfitfriend]

Epic, love hearing this! Yeah, TPU is TPU. Better than the Metcons, but still not great for running if you're a heel striker. I always mentally note to bias a forefoot strike when training in these.

[@kaibeste7942]

@@thatfitfriend After 2 more workouts, the F-Lite are really growing on me for strength training. I feel super stable and locked in, the fit is great for me, and the heel doesn't bother me as much. 10/10 would buy them again.

[@sergn717]

Thank you for the review! Love what inov-8 have done with their toe boxes! I have narrow feet and I still love my F-Flys (assuming the fit is similar). Yes there's some minimal lateral movement but I'm not doing side to side jumps, and they're great for everything else. I can also mostly wear size 13 in shoes with anatomic toe box vs size 14 in other athletic shoes (which are usually half a size too big). The only thing I don't like about inov-8 is boring colorways

[@thatfitfriend]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@tanyrfeser]

Minimal content on this shoe but this video was very helpful with my decision to ultimately pick up a pair and there was no surprises after watching this. Much appreciated! The only thing I would mention, for me personally I wear a 12 very comfortably in the 235 V3 but actually had to size up to a 12.5 in this shoe for length (my foot width is average I would say).

[@thatfitfriend]

Heck yeah, stoked it helped and thank you for sharing!

[@gluegungymnerd]

Jake - you mentioned on the F-lites that those who hate arch support should stay away from them. Does the F-Lite Max have the same arch support issue?

[@thatfitfriend]

@@gluegungymnerd max does, f lite is less noticeable and it can vary a ton due to it being a little more forgiving. If you’re thinking about em, I’d give a try and see, tbh!

[@orianhernandez4578]

Hi Jake. How would you compare these when it comes to lateral stability, cushioning and sole flexibility vs CXT-2 and Savage 1? could you rank them from more to less in these criteria? thank you!

[@thatfitfriend]

CXT-2, F-Lite Max, BP Savage1. All of them work great for this, imo, but if we're talking pure stability and a "locked down" feeling that's how I'd rank em. BP Savage 1 has more flexibility and play and the other two run a little more rigid regarding their materials.

[@MarthinLutherS]

Hey Jake, I found out that the Reebok Nano X4 Adventure was released in some countries. How bout your place? Please make a review video about it. Thank you

[@thatfitfriend]

I haven't seen that, but when it releases I'll def pick em up

[@neospiderman2165]

What are your thoughts on that new lebron tr1? Looks and just construction just seems to be a average hitt shoe in my opinion, only thing it got going is durability against the freexmetcon

[@thatfitfriend]

Ehhh, it’s tough until I get to try them. I’m most interested in where they slot in with their current trainers. Do they have a niche performance angle or is just an “eh” model riding on Lebron’s name.

[@JBravoRebel]

Interesting heel tpu. Hpw does it compare to go rucks?

[@thatfitfriend]

Lighter weight and feel more "athletic" on the feet when cross-training

[@thomasheavingham5496]

Hi would you recommend for me? 6.4ft 15.9st I struggle on balance & I need better support my knees for lounges etc Are they good for cardio crossfit ?

[@thatfitfriend]

Go F-Lite for that ask!

[@BrianKim-ih4qh]

when is the while on earth review dropping?

[@thatfitfriend]

Soon. Filmed and in editing. It's not super positive, LOL

[@MatOnMotors]

How does it compare to the F Fly?

[@thatfitfriend]

@@MatOnMotors different intents This model has a denser midsole and a more rigid upper to support lifting/CrossFit. It’s basically replacing the G 300! F Fly is lighter weight and softer

[@duskrider1724]

Is saying "this shoe" an attempt at a catchphrase or something? When you are holding up a shoe, you don't need to constantly say "this shoe". It is implied.

[@thatfitfriend]

Then don’t watch my stuff, I don’t care. What a weird nitpick 😂

[@duskrider1724]

@@thatfitfriend It's like listening to someone who says like, like all the time. I'm guessing you write out your scripts before shooting, do a control + find + all for "this shoe" and I'll bet you say it more than 20 times per video.

[@thatfitfriend]

@ that’s sick, bro. Move along now. Imagine wasting your Sunday and choosing to spend energy being this person on KZbin. So weird
