I have also bought these shoes. I have a wide feet and it fits perfekt with the true sizes. I also replace the insole with my orthopedic insole. Now the feet are more at the ground. I love it.
I just got these. I jumped from the 1 generation of these to the new ones. So they’re a lot different. They’re a bit more squishy, so that’ll take some getting used to. But they have better grip. I personally do strongman, I’m curious if i’ll like them as much as my old ones.
I've been waiting for this review! I bought 5s and they were good shoes, but the hard outsole made my toes kinda float when I squat. It's getting better as the shoes break tho. I'm quite tempted to buy 6 as you mentioned that its similar to Metcon 5 and 6. Metcon 5 and 6 are my go-to squat shoes and I've been looking for something similar for a long time. Would it be okay to go for me? This ones outsole is looking more flexible, so probably won't have floating toe issues.
My Reign 6's just arrived yesterday, so I haven't had a chance to test them out yet. But I will say that I don't feel like the weight will be a problem as I walked around with them for a bit. I am coming from Xero shoes- which are about as light as you can get. I just wanted something with a little more stability for lifting, and a slight heel lift. I can guarantee that the added weight of the Reign 6's is due to the wrap-around rubber on the outsole. Most shoes with a traditional external midsole don't have rubber that wraps around the whole shoe. Rubber is heavy. Now, I'm just waiting for my Reebok Nano 2.0's o arrive before deciding whether or not I'm going to keep the Reign 6s. I think I'll really like the Reign 6, but the Nano 2.0s were a great price, and I've read a lot of good things about them too. Might be a tough decision!
@@jeffersonmp4 I ended up keeping the Reign 6's. Not that the Nano 2.0's were bad. But they had a little bit more pronounced arch support (which I don't care for). And the materials felt like they wouldn't be quite as durable as the Reigns. I've been using the Reign's for a few months now and they're great!
I dig the wider toe box. I wanted to like the 5s but when trying them on, they were just a little too narrow for me. Not unbearably so maybe breaking them in would have loosened them up enough since it was right on borderline... either way the 6s being wider is enough for me to give them a try.
I had to send my 6’s back. After a short while there was a hole in the heel. In the meantime I’ve went back to my 5’s and they def are noticeably more narrow. I thought about using my return on another pair of 5’s but think I’ll go back to the 6.
@drew123994 I wasn't a fan of the tongue and laces on the 5s. Even after changing the laces I wasn't a huge fan. (That didn't stop me from buying two pairs and they're my second most worn shoes after the 6s)
I like how the tongue on the 5’a came up higher. I feel like the tongue on the 6’s is falling down and it’s not. The heel on my left foot has a hole in it after 2 mos. I reached out to UA and if they refund me a gift card I’m going to get another pair of the 5’s and just buy diff laces. My left foot always hurts after workouts. Maybe the left sneaker is defective but I think I’m done with the 6’s. I love the all white color way they’re just not working for me.
Hello thank you for all your awesome reviews! They really help me out when getting new gear/ equipment. I have been on the fence on buying the reign 5's and reign 6's. Comparing the two which would you recommend is the best all around crosstraining shoe between the two?
I feel the extra length comes from the lack of volume in the upper. Hear me out lol. I sometimes feel I need to pull the tongue upwards, almost as if it’s falling, and it isn’t since it’s gusseted. I feel if it had more overall volume in the upper it would pull the shoe back a bit and sit more naturally on the foot. At least my foot.
The reign series has always taken me some time for the shoe to feel broken in. Unlike my running shoes which feel good out of the box. Could be the lack of toe spring or materials, not quite sure.
Friend, I watch your videos a lot, but I don't understand English! I live in Brazil! But here it takes a long time for the news to arrive, then I'll see your videos! Here's the thing! I'm a fan of UA! And I wanted to import a sneaker like that! Here there's only Reign 4, I'm a Crossfit practitioner! Then I'm going to import one! I wanted a tip which one did you like + or indicate!? The reign 5 or the reign 6! Sorry if it's a little out of context, it's that I used Google translator! Hugs!!
Estou usando um tradutor também, então desculpe quaisquer erros - se você está pagando o preço total por qualquer um dos sapatos, então eu diria que o 6 será a melhor escolha. Se os 5s tiverem muito desconto, então eu iria com eles. Se for apenas uma pequena diferença de preço, então pegue o 6.
I tried this shoe in the store today. for size, I felt at normal size the shoe is a bit too roomy in the toe box, but a half size down is a little snug. What size would you choose?
First review I’ve seen that mentions build quality. My current UA shoes fit good & I like the way they look but theres definitely a “cheapish” feel to them. I’m still gonna give these a look

How are these for everyday wear? I like the look and panning to get these for my travels. Both for training and daily commutes.
What's the brand of that sweater you're wearing?. It looks cool bro

Really?! Better than the 5s? 5s were, imo, the 2nd best shoe after TYR cxt

@jmoak311 well I hope it works out for you with the 5s. I just bought two more pairs of the 6s lol. So far, I haven't had any issues.

If you're doing more running and bodyweight then I'd recommend the 5, if you're doing more lifting then I'd recommend the 6.

How do they fit? I heard the toebox is long and runs big. Is this true?

How does the density of the sole feel compared to the converse?
It's a lot softer compared to Chuck's.
Who would you recommend these to vs the adidas drop set 2?
Depends what you’re looking for. I prefer the flatter drop so I would prefer these but the dropsets are a lot easier to run in.
@@AMRAP looking for a shoe for the gym I do more traditional everyday workouts. Squats, deadlift, barbell chest press etc.
How do they fit? I heard the toebox is long and runs big. Is this true?
A little but I don’t think sizing down is a good idea unless you have narrow feet
@@AMRAP I see. Thank you!
