    Would x3 nano be a good upgrade coming from Metcon 6s? Worried about the heel to toe drop, focus is lifting like squats/ deadlifts!

    • @thatfitfriend
      @thatfitfriend  Рік тому

      It's not not an upgrade, it's just different. The "upgrade" part would be contextual on your preferences. For example, you may find that the Nano X3 gives you more range and feels better for versatile training, but it doesn't have the same "flatter" feel as the Metcon, so in some ways, I would call it an upgrade, but I tread lightly saying it's an upgrade in every aspect of training because the Metcon 6s are a sick shoe!

    Hi Jake! I was in the market for a new gym shoe and ended up ordering the nano X3 but im a bit worried I ordered the wrong size. I kept reading that the X2’s run large so sizing down 0.5 size was recommended. I’m usually and 8 so I went with a 7.5 but now I’m worried that I got the wrong size since I was reading some of your comments and you mentioned the fit is different on these 😅 send help! Should I have ordered my true size an 8 instead of 7.5?

      Thanks for checking it out! Whichever is most comfortable, honestly. If the snug model causes your toes to ache, then I would return. Conversely, if the model that's too big has heel slip, then the snugger shoe assuming it's not super uncomfortable will be the play!

    Without taking any crossfit into account, what shoe (picking only 1) do you think is the better option for general barbell work: Vivobarefoot primus III or the Nano X3? Is going barefoot the real way to go now for leg days: squats, rdl's, bulgarian etc plus upper body days where shoes aren't as important but mixed with moderate cardio?

    • @thatfitfriend
      @thatfitfriend  Рік тому +2

      That's like comparing apples to oranges. Both shoes have utility, but will be super different in the gym.
      My [coaching] opinion on this topic, play with a few different styles of footwear. For example, the Primus Lite III can be AWESOME for lower body days, but you may not find them to the best fit in certain contexts. For example, if you need a bit of a drop for squats, then they may feel limiting and if you're tackling a bunch of lower body work in a cross-training format, then you may prefer a cross-trainer for that.
      If you have options you can plug and play to see what allows you to perform your best, then you can bring the shoes with you to the gym that work for ya based on your programming. I like to pull, do RDLs, and lower body accessories barefoot shoes, but use cross-training shoes for squats/lower work programmed in WODs/athletic sessions - it just varies, though.
      All that being said, either will likely be fine for you. I'm a fan of not going all-in on one thing out of the gate, though, and playing with different options to see what you resonate best with! Variability with footwear can be an awesome tool for athletes that train with a lot of variety, IMO.

    I hate, hate, hate the X2. I don't understand how they got such good reviews. The shoe laces cut through the eyelet when I tried tying my first pair. 2nd pair shoe laces just broke. 3rd pair I threw out. The sole grip sucked...I didn't even need sliders that's how slippery the soles are. My arches constantly hurt in the X2. I like the specs of X3, which probably is better suited for the type of workouts I do. I have PTSD from the laces cutting through the X2 eyelets so easily, so I'm hesitant to buy another pair of reeboks. I may give the X3's a try given your detailed review. How is the X3 sole grippiness on indoor court wood floor? What do you think about X3 compared to the F-Lite G300 or 235 v3?

    • @thatfitfriend
      @thatfitfriend  Рік тому +1

      I can see where you're coming from there! Also, speaks to the individuality of shoes and how we interact with them.
      The Nano X3's outsole should give you more grip. This shoe's tread is a lower profile so it should bite more. IMO, the X3 runs circles around the X2 which was a mid-tier shoe and the X1 which was a no-go for me.
      Between those, I'd go 235 V3 if you want to try something new before the Nano X3. The 235 X3 will give you a lower to the ground feeling with a more minimalist vibe whereas the Nanos can feel a bit chunkier. If the X3/235 V3 are misses, I'd try to the G 300, but I'd def give those other two models a try before the 300!

    The X2 is one of the most uncomfortable shoes I've worn. I bought it under the impression that it was a good cross-training shoe. I love the toe box, love the grip and stability on leg day and especially when doing any kind of loaded squat. When it comes to running, joggin or even walking it's a big no. The bottom of my midfoot will be on fire. I literally feel like I get plantar fasciitis only when wearing this shoe and the pain lasts a long time after the workouts. Ive never really felt this pain with other shoes, so idk I would say stay away from the X2 if you will be doing any kind of running, jogging or walking long distances. It doesnt seem very flexible. I thought maybe if I broke it in a few weeks it would get better, and it did get slightly more worn but nowhere near comfortable. I didn't buy the X3 because the toe box wasn't wide enough for me. Time to try another brand 😞
