Thank you! I can try to get one in the works. I’m diving more into running shoes now and it’s been fun exploring this vertical. The only issue I’m running into is running volume - so I can likely get this up in the next month or so and suggest some options!
hey jake. yours is the go-to review channel for training shoes i go for. Ty so much. I bought the RAD ones (Stormy Gum). I like the built, construction, stability very much but my right foot pinky toe feels a slight discomfort. A stubbing and minute pain. Is it something I got to be worried about and return it or it will be fine after breaking in? I am also considering nano x4 I train 5-6 times a week with a short cardio session at the end like a 20 min run, skipping, rowing, elliptical, etc Please share your thoughts
Thank you! If it's unbearable and it's a true width issue even in thinner socks then I'd return it and go up a half-size or opt for something with a wider toe box. If it's only somewhat noticeable then that should break-in over time. Good to know that they run a little narrow on you, though
@@thatfitfriend omg thanks for replying! Love your videos man! One of my go to vids when I want to purchase workout shoes. I just worry they will come out like R.A.D 2 soon if I buy now.
I missed out on the first drop of these shoes but two more colours seem to be dropping at some point (slate grey and sand) so can't wait to get the grey ones! I always had metcons but I could not get on with the 7s as I my feet are pretty narrow. High hopes for R.A.D. shoes :D
I saw that and am super stoked for more colorways! I think you'll enjoy this model if you're a Nike Metcon fan, the Metcon 4 is one of my all-time fave shoes, so if you're similar - methinks you'll like the R.A.D ONE. That being said, would love to hear your thoughts once your pair comes in!
@@thatfitfriend Metcon 4s were one of my favourites too! They were great. R.A.D shoes look like a pair that will work great for me. Thank you for making these videos about them (seen your previous one too :)).
Great question. I thoroughly enjoy both, so it's tough to say there's a clear winner at the moment. This model gives you a bit more in regard to rope climbing support, but the Haze's outsole beats this shoe with maneuverability!
Hi - so these shoes will be finally dropping in the UK on a Monday and I cannot wait! However, suddenly I am finding myself not being sure about what size to order... Did you go half size up as they recommend it? And did you used to do that with the metcons? I have never gone half size up on any shoes, besides the Romaleos 4s. Thanks for your help :)
Ay! That’s awesome. I did not size up, nor do I size up in my Metcons. However, I’d rather shoes feel a tad snug than too loose. Might be worth reaching out to RAD just to confirm before you order!
@@thatfitfriend Thank you for your answer! I think that's actually a great help. I have narrow feet and I also prefer the shoes to be more snug than loose 😊
Just ordered a true to size in the sparrow and 1/2 size up in the ice blue. Unsure of my size based on your review plus the RAD website plus AMRAP’s review. Figured I’ll just return one of them
That’s a good call - there’s been a lot of variance within the community! Keep me posted on which you like - I’m trying to mentally keep tabs as what works from a majority POV!
Similar, but I'd say the RAD model has a slight edge. I've deadlifted over 500 in both shoes with stability and didn't have too many issues, so they're wicked comparable for most athletes/lifters, IMO!
Hi Jake How are you? I’m about to buy the Rad One but they don’t have my size. Do you recommend if I buy 0.5 cm above my measurement? I am 29cm in Nike
Not to the same degree and I haven’t noticed it, as in it doesn’t roll fully to the side - I could have also tightened them more to prevent that. A tongue loop would be nice, but I don’t think this will be an issue for most folks. Did you see I tweaked that section per your recommendation?
@@thatfitfriend Lol you definitely can! I Ask because they don’t have my size in this shoe and I was just going to see if I would regret never having them. But congratulations you’re so close to 10,000 subscribers. I personally can’t wait for the blowup
@@D-Breezy94 Gotcha - I don't think so. They're a great shoe, but not an end-all-be-all especially if you have pairs you like training in now. Hey, thank you so much! We're grinding and chipping away :)

This is legit the best review I've seen for these shoes. And fair to call out on the flaws
Thank you! Honestly, I'm so excited to see how R.A.D continues to innovate their shoes and improve!
SO many choices from Rad to Reebok...what's your choice for CrossFit training?? @@thatfitfriend
Jake just used the phrase, “posterior lateral heel in a full sentence” what a legend 😂
😂😂 tbh, I’m surprised I didn’t mumble it
I’m not a huge of the looks. To each is own. Thanks for another great video
Do you like the other colorway? Or is the shoe as a whole?
Thank you!
@@thatfitfriend I saw it. It reminders me if a low top basketball shoe. 🤷♂️ maybe it will grow on me
@@ra0333 fair point! Love hearing your feedback, man. Thank you for sharing 💪
“*cough cough*…No Bull “. 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Great review as always. Can you do a budget friendly video on running shoes just started running again, was looking for some good shoes. Thank you.

Jake! Weighing up replacing my shoes for WODs with running - would you preference these over the Nike Metcon free 5?
Great reviews as always!
These hands down. Thank you!
this shoe has been 2.5 years now i wonder if it's still worth getting
Yeah, still worth it if they fit your needs!
@@thatfitfriend omg thanks for replying! Love your videos man! One of my go to vids when I want to purchase workout shoes. I just worry they will come out like R.A.D 2 soon if I buy now.
I wear a 10 in Nobull trainers. What would you recommend? Thanks man. Love the channel.
Thank you! I’d go 10 in these if you half around a half inch of room or more in your NOBULLs. If you have less room than that go 10.5 💪
@@thatfitfriend Thanks! Now fingers crossed I can get a pair on this next drop! Keep up the good work.
Got a pair! 10 was perfect. Thanks!

@@anikonicolaidou Of course! Keep me posted on how you like them when you're able to grab a pair!
How's the volume/width on this compared to the Tri-base Reign 6? I know you picked these for CrossFit and the Reigns for cross-training.
A little higher through the midfoot than the Reign 6!
@@thatfitfriend How the width compare to Reign's? Thank you!
How do these compare to the haze trainer from Strike MVMNT?
Great question. I thoroughly enjoy both, so it's tough to say there's a clear winner at the moment. This model gives you a bit more in regard to rope climbing support, but the Haze's outsole beats this shoe with maneuverability!

How's the stability compared to Metcon 7?

Hi Jake
How are you?
I’m about to buy the Rad One but they don’t have my size. Do you recommend if I buy 0.5 cm above my measurement? I am 29cm in Nike
Yeah, that should be fine!
Do you think .5 size smaller than my true to size Nike shoes will fit?
Nope, I’d go TTS or even up a half size if you have wider feet. These can run a little snug in the toe box
I have an old Air Max 90 pair and the rad one fits exactly the same as those. So stick to your Nike size if you like it
5:43 it seems that the tongue slips a lot on the side, is this an issue as in the Nano X1?
Edit: in the review, you said no issue on the tongue but from the video looks different
Not to the same degree and I haven’t noticed it, as in it doesn’t roll fully to the side - I could have also tightened them more to prevent that.
A tongue loop would be nice, but I don’t think this will be an issue for most folks.
Did you see I tweaked that section per your recommendation?
between these and the nobull trainers which ones are better?
These, IMO
@@thatfitfriend thanks!
Wait you think this is better than the Haze Trainer???
It’s so close, honestly. Can I love both? Each have slightly different perks going for them! You can’t go wrong with either shoe, IMO!
@@thatfitfriend
Lol you definitely can! I Ask because they don’t have my size in this shoe and I was just going to see if I would regret never having them. But congratulations you’re so close to 10,000 subscribers. I personally can’t wait for the blowup
@@D-Breezy94 Gotcha - I don't think so. They're a great shoe, but not an end-all-be-all especially if you have pairs you like training in now.
Hey, thank you so much! We're grinding and chipping away :)
@@thatfitfriend have you heard anything about a size 14 in rad Shoes
Only problem is finding ones instock
Yep, and they go fast. I missed the three last drops as well. Feeel that.
How do these compare to your metcon 4’s?
Feel thicker with more midsole, but solid for lifting for both. Imo, more forgiving for HIIT/sessions with plyos.
@@thatfitfriend I really need my metcons back. Or something identical. I’ll keep waiting.
Not a fan of the styling or colors. Look like some generic sketchers or something 🤷🏼♂️
The look is terrible. Looks like a cheap walmart shoe.
Fair points and opinion!
They look crap design wise.
Always coming in with the hot takes 🔥
