[@ra0333]

I really appreciate the honest review. I think it’d be natural to simply say it’s amazing bc it’s an “elite” shoe. I’m not sure we need elite shoes (or the elite pricing).

This is a great first impressions.

[@isaacting1301]

Okay Joel, that was a nice pun

[@AMRAP]

@@isaacting1301 was wondering if anyone would catch that lol

[@andykang5448]

great review!

[@rjnj14]

Hey Joel! Love the channel and the IG! Any insight on the TYR shorts compared to the ten thousand shorts?

[@AMRAP]

They're nice! Similar to 10k Intervals with a better DWR finish.

[@rjnj14]

⁠Thanks for quick reply. I love the 10k Session shorts, the interval waistband always seems to be twisted or wonky. Whats “DWR” as you mentioned above? Is the waist band like or better than Interval?

[@super610]

Carbon plated shoes don't even last that long since they're considered race day shoes. This is absolutely wild.

[@CarlosaurusRex]

Yeah, but carbon-plated racing shoes NEED to be light/airy, which tends to come at the cost of their durability. Whereas there isn’t nearly as much of a need for training shoes to be lightly built, so I’m assuming/hoping that Tyr felt no need to skimp on durability, since that’s clearly a higher priority aspect in a CrossFit shoe. Plus, I’m sure Joel would’ve mentioned something, if he noticed any signs of flimsiness/failure points. My skepticism is aimed more towards the claim of a 25% increased vertical propulsion. I’d really love to see their methodology & data on those tests, if for nothing more than sheer curiosity.

[@mumbojumboddot]

Hey Joel, I’m wearing 9 for Nike(s), 9 for Nano X4 and 8.5 for Nano X2, which size should I get for this tyr carbon, thank you very much, ur videos helped me to get the true sizing for nanos too!

[@AMRAP]

@@mumbojumboddot you’re going to want size 9.5.

[@mumbojumboddot]

Thank you!

[@Brown86Power]

I love the CXT-1s as a casual shoe. They actually kinda look like Kobe 8s

[@pikachu0324]

early gang!!

[@JFomo]

Will this increase my bench and squat?

[@craigherbert25]

I guarantee it!

[@fusiongains]

Is this a shoe that you wouldn’t train in everyday because of wearing them down quickly? I like to train in the same shoes I compete in. And do you notice the change from 7-4mm on the drop?

[@AMRAP]

@@fusiongains given the use, I’d assume they would hold up better than plated runners but I still don’t think this is an everyday training shoe. You do notice the difference in drop.

[@fusiongains]

@@AMRAP Don (one of your coaches) and I were talking about how you've made us spend a lot of money on shoes over the years lol. The cycle continues.

[@bennyfinktunes]

How have you gone with the sizing? Did the 10.5 break in, did the 11s start to get a bit loose? Keen to know your experience as we share same size foot

[@AMRAP]

@@bennyfinktunes I ended up sticking with 11. I actually just put up a follow up to this video.

[@bennyfinktunes]

@@AMRAP thanks for the quick reply. Compared to the regular CXT - 2s do you size them the same or different size in the 2s regular shoe?

[@AMRAP]

@@bennyfinktunes my cxt2 is 10.5 and my elites are 11.

[@bennyfinktunes]

@@AMRAP thanks mate! Loving all your reviews!

[@avera9636]

It has become well appreciated that carbon fiber based shoes are NOT your best option for every day training . . . as mentioned in the video, intended for competition day.

[@GianpaoloSenni-xp3wh]

Is the insole actually removable?

[@AMRAP]

Yeah, it the same insole as the normal cxt so I didn’t talk about it but it’s removable if you needed to replace it.

[@jamesparker9307]

What size are you in Nano X4s and X3s?

[@AMRAP]

@@jamesparker9307 10 x3/10.5 x4

[@Frag1ty]

which size you have for Nike's like Romaleos (2) and flex experience rn?

[@AMRAP]

@@Frag1ty romaleos 2 size 10. Never tried flex experience.

[@Frag1ty]

@@AMRAP and you wear size 10.5 for CXT-2? Because you mention the 10.5 are a bit tight on the elite. I want to buy the regular CXT-2 and have size 9 (42.5 EU) for Romaleos 2. For some other shoe brands I even need to buy 8.5 so I fear that size 9.5 for CXT-2 would be too big.

[@AMRAP]

@@Frag1ty yeah I wear 10.5 for cxt2. For the elites I’m in between 10.5 and 11, depending on the socks I wear. Rom2s run about a half size big.
