I spent OVER $10,000 on gym shoes this year: What surprised me, stunk, and more

[@namesilya]

Have just recently discovered your channel. The content and the manner of its presenting is great! Only the necessary information, no fluff. Don't have to turn 1.25 speed :) Good luck in 2025!

[@thatfitfriend]

Ayyy, welcome! I hate watching fluff so I really try my best to limit it on this channel, I appreciate you sharing that. Thank you - shout if you ever have Qs and Merry Christmas!

[@AndreS_22246]

Thank you! Your channel has saved me from the annoying situation of ordering shoes, finding they suck, and having to send them back. I have near 100% success on new shoe ordering, mainly from watching your reviews. Either we have similar tastes, or I’m a great big copy-cat 😂 happy either way. Happy Christmas 👍

[@thatfitfriend]

Haha, love hearing that! Thank you for supporting the channel and That Fit Friend Shop is live if I ever have something you're interested in. Just give a shout on IG and I'll make you a KZbin special comment! Merry Christmas!

[@LazyRawUnedited]

I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers. Solid content. I've bought several pairs of training shoes after watching one of your videos on a particular pair. Good luck in 2025.

[@thatfitfriend]

Haha, we're a slow grind here. Brick by brick, brother! Slow is good because it's easier to connect with community through comments NGL. Thank you and you as well. Enjoy the holidays!

[@nolinolasco6375]

Happy Holidays! I pray for the growth of your channel so that you can continue to bless us with wonderful contents.

[@blvnkos]

What surprises me the most is that you continue to do what you are doing, and I sincerely hope that you at least manage to recover the money you spend on shoes through these videos, what I would honestly like is for you to make a profit, because you deserve it, a lot more. I live in a country where the sneakers you review here are usually 30-40% more expensive on average, but even worse is that most models are not available after they appear on the market, but appear after a long time. Regardless, I enjoy watching the videos, and I make a choice for the moment when some well-rated sneakers come on the market. Thanks for everything, I hope you have a nice holiday.

Ive been wearing and loving the adidas total through your review. Was planning to get the Nano X5 when it drops. Looks like i have to control the urge and wait for YOUR shoes. Keep up the awesome work and all the best in 2025!!

[@gerym341]

Thank you for all your content

Thank YOU for supporting the channel. Couldn’t do it without yall

13:09 The Haze trainer is my only gym shoe, it’s so good. I’ve been looking to expand my horizons with something similar that has a little more structure to the upper without sacrificing the low heel drop. What do you think I should look in to?

[@thatfitfriend]

Love hearing that. Hmm - the BP Savage 1 has that lower stack height feeling. Metcon 1, too. It also sounds like the TF2 shoe may resonate with you, too!

[@Garrettismyname]

8:30 the bare-xf is my travel/drop-in shoe this year and I’ve been super impressed. About the only thing I don’t love doing in them is like a Cossack squat or something lateral heavy like that. Sweet shoe.

[@thatfitfriend]

I hear that, they can have a bit of spillover at times! Stoked you've been enjoying them and I appreciate you sharing feedback.

[@deborah3912]

Thanks for the vid Jake, sorry about the loss of you're Dad. God has you in the palm of his hand, all the best in 2025!

[@joedavis2400]

I highly appreciate your help with bearfoot shoes. Main accomplishment this yes was a powerlifting total of 1300# at 180# bodyweight, giving me a 400DOT. I did it up there in St Louis at the Broken Barbell Gym. Hopefully, you'll get all 3 things you want in 2025. God bless

[@thatfitfriend]

Ayyy!! Good stuff. What were your lifts? Also, I’m in STL. I think we talked about that. Let’s link eventually and train. With enough hard work and a dash of luck, I think anything is possible for anyone. Going to be a bumpy but fun year. Happy holidays, homie

[@tinti7]

I love the f-flys and they were perfect today for my gyms “12 days of xmas” WOD. Also on a milestone for me was going from weighing 235 pounds on January this year to now being 199 pounds in December.

[@thatfitfriend]

HYPE. Love hearing that, homie! Keep chipping and pushing. Stoked for ya. Merry Christmas and thank you for supporting the channel

[@bronsondrewry2491]

Sorry to hear about your father brother, hope you're doing better since then.

[@thatfitfriend]

Thank you, friend. Been weird with the holidays, NGL. Have to keep moving and showing up.

[@thatfitfriend]

@@user-hi4po7kr9w Dropset 3 is great, just not as good as 2 imo! I rock my 3s often

Good stuff, dude!!!

[@andresamell9367]

Loving these series. Can’t wait for all these 2025 projects come to life

[@thatfitfriend]

Stress...and excitement. They're coming! Merry Christmas, brother!

[@bobcaygeon975]

That $10k expense is tax- deductible. I bought the No Bulls based on your review, although Im ambivalent about putting money in tom bradys pocket . Going to try the UA or the Tolos next.🎄....🏃‍♂️

[@thatfitfriend]

Haha, I know that! Right? It kind of shifts the mindset of NOBULL a bitn NGL. Awesome, have some Tolos models on That Fit Friend Shop and they're marked down for the holidays if you plan to grab them soon! Have a great holiday!

[@Kasparovvvvv]

As a true fit friend you have to but them all. Especially barefoot, enough with all these uncomfortable shoes 😊

[@thatfitfriend]

I don’t prefer only barefoot shoes. To each their own, lol. Plenty of dogmatic barefoot shoe channels out there to scratch that itch 🫡 I like me normie shoes, too 👟
