Jake your willingness to call out these manufacturers on their lack of innovation and poor design choices is very legit. Keep it up.

[@thatfitfriend]

Appreciate you! Im trying, tbh, but I am only one data point & I never want to deter someone with my sole opinion. But I do get tired of seeing these reviewers/media companies producing glorified adverts myself. So much BS in the review sector.

[@TimChuon]

Dang thanks for the review Jake! These looked pretty cool initially, but if you’re saying they suck then I’m gonna pass 😂😂😂 appreciate your honesty and putting these videos up!

[@thatfitfriend]

Appreciate you checking out the video! Good in theory but execution could be better

[@tobiaskirschbaum5703]

I love them as a dailywear shoe. I have them for a week now, and I enjoy wearing shoes of a brand you don't see normally on the street. But I have no thought in my mind wearing them in a workout. It's just a streetwear shoe.

[@pocoman3455]

Thank you for being honest. Your saying what everybody with common sense would say about this shoe. Theres obviously no shoe tech in this shoe for training. Im so confused about nobull. Are they a luxury sport brand?

[@thatfitfriend]

I think they're going through a brand identity crisis atm, NGL. These feel lazy and like a money grab to me.

[@theAgnotic]

I believe rec trainer is for someone who is wearing vans era classic for workout (?) But with that poor outsole construction, i think vans is still a better choice

[@thatfitfriend]

Vans Better outsole and low key have more upper volume. I have never wanted to kick off a shoe faster than these NGL

[@coopertodd28]

Damn I wasn’t gonna check these out till you reviewed em. Don’t want em anymore😂😂😂

[@thatfitfriend]

Pass on em. I don’t think these are worth it, ngl!

[@MaxTyco]

Good review

[@thatfitfriend]

Thank you!

[@michellebourdo6593]

what is your favorite pick for a womens shoe for general work outs, HITT and dance?

[@thatfitfriend]

Nike Free Metcon 5 can be a good first option to explore!

[@michellebourdo6593]

thank you i will look into those

[@yc1940]

Hmm interesting…I ordered my normal size as the haze trainer and rad one but felt my toes were swimming in these. Maybe the toe box design fits female feet better? The eva outsole does sound flimsy.

[@thatfitfriend]

Likely so! Wouldn’t surprise me because different last constructions always vary

[@hoyiuc]

At least there is something worse than Metcon 9 this year!

[@thatfitfriend]

😂😂

[@mattthomas291]

Dang very disappointing to hear! I was considering them but glad I waited for your review.

[@thatfitfriend]

Don’t write them off entirely, per se. Just not my fave at all

[@technical_bet_144]

well I went for a size 11/ I'm really a 10.5 and man the comfort. So honestly I would have to disagree with you. But I would like for no bull to acknowledge that some users may have to go a half size up such as I did. But yea they are comfortable

[@thatfitfriend]

Sizing should always be individual, ain’t no worries if you disagree as people should based on their anatomy! Glad you like em

[@switchunboxing]

How do I know if I have a narrow foot width? I wear size 12 in Converse chucks. Should I get a 12 in these? Also, I just like these because they look really cool in the green. But the price just isn’t making sense to me. Do you know if there’s a way to get these on sale or if retailers sell them?

[@thatfitfriend]

Go to a running shoe store or an REI/Payless and use their Brannock scale! It will give you your length, width, and arch length measurements. Will make your life so easy when looking into reviews and shoe sizing

[@switchunboxing]

@@thatfitfriend Very cool man I might do that!

[@thatfitfriend]

@@switchunboxing once you know always feel free to hmu and I can direct to different models accordingly

[@switchunboxing]

@@thatfitfriend I’m mainly just wanting to know what size to order these in

[@thatfitfriend]

@@switchunboxing what size do you wear now regarding training shoes and in what size

[@thebouncingbarbell]

You can not sugar coat how bad Nobull shoes are.. if it's not how unstable they are, or how sweaty you get while wearing them, or how expensive they are.. they are incredibly narrow. Coined a new name for them "Toe squashing devices." The Nobull R&D department seems to lack any ounce of imagination, their shoe line is just one recycled design after the other.

[@anthonyolivieri413]

Tbf that’s the point of nobull is to have nobull designs just plain shoes. I also don’t think they’re narrow or unstable and I have flat feet and wide feet

[@ericvandenberg4682]

I was looking for a comfortable shoe for recreation. Something to get me out of a pair of vans. It looks great. But you talked me out of it. The foam outer sole is a big deal breaker. $120 is way too much. This seems like a $60 shoe at best

[@thatfitfriend]

IMO, good call...some folks love these, but I find them to be meh for the price. Let me know what you end up going with instead!

[@84jdgregory]

Didn't realize the outsole was foam. Gross. Sucks because I like the way they look(edit: besides the taller outsole). Once I got out of CrossFit training I went to the canvas trainers and they're awesome.

[@thatfitfriend]

Yeah, it's a big knock on these, honestly

[@switchunboxing]

Why are they so expensive? I think even if they were half price, they would be a little high.

[@thatfitfriend]

NOBULL for ya

[@andresamell9367]

The toe box of this shoe looks so uncomfortable.

[@switchunboxing]

It’s interesting that the other guy said some things opposite of what you are saying. Maybe you are being more honest.

[@thatfitfriend]

I mean, I paid for my pair and don’t gaf if NOBULL likes me, lol. I let the viewers decide 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@matthewwarner1606]

At least they aren't the ugliest pair of shoes ever made... I was curious and skeptical about these but am no longer! Buyer beware.

[@thatfitfriend]

If they had a lower stack height/sole they'd look even better NGL!

[@matthewwarner1606]

@@thatfitfriend and let's be honest... if they made those corrections, at that point, to save yourself some money, just get some Chuck Taylors or Vans and carry on.

[@thatfitfriend]

@@matthewwarner1606 bingo. $60 versus $130 🙃

[@jonfriedman1366]

This looks like a skate shoe to be honest

[@thatfitfriend]

Yeah, sans a skate shoe that has the upper durability for actual skating 😅

[@BrianKim-ih4qh]

I’ve returned every single pair of nobull shoes I’ve ever purchased because they’ve all too stiff, uncomfortable, not breathable and dull

[@thatfitfriend]

Not surprised, tbh. They’re a very mid shoe at this point with how many options there are out there!

[@MrLlama999]

Maui is the best part of this video.

[@thatfitfriend]

Thems be facts 😂

[@zachanderson9649]

I hope you find this comment as constructive and not negative. Not sure if it may have been because it was a less positive review but you seem to talk a lot faster in this review than others.

[@thatfitfriend]

Allllll good, I’ve been moving the last week so I’ve been trying to slam a ton of stuff into my days and have been still trying to keep up with content volume etc. likely a byproduct of knowing I only had a set amount of time to film this day. Ain’t no negativity felt and not every video is going to be money so I’m always appreciative when folks share stuff like this!

[@ryanroberts7597]

They look like NOBULL copying the Flux.

[@thatfitfriend]

👀👀👀

[@ryanroberts7597]

They have been caught red handed 😂😂😂

[@krakatoasundra]

sounds like these NoBull are TotalBS. 😂
