    Just got mine last week. I love them! It's like what the X1 and X2 should have been. I'm 6'2" 105-110KG, did some warm up snatch balances for my warmups the other day and felt very good. I switched to my Reebok Legacy Lifters and gotta say X3 gives much better heel stiffness than X1 and slightly better than X2.

    Very cool Reebok sent that lift and run chasis to you. Really like my X2's and am waiting on my Haze trainers to arrive now. Will for sure pick a pair of the X3's up when more colorways are out and Reebok does their usual sales as the year goes on.

  • @mattpeters6224
    @mattpeters6224 Рік тому +3

    "Oh yeah, Reebok is back." I will enthusiastically agree with that statement my friend. The X2 ripped by the 4th rope climb on me twice. Not the X3. Hopefully this holds. As we have discussed in the past I like the Rad One as the best OVERALL CrossFit shoe. Because of availability issues with the Rads I am hoping the Reebok X3 can claim that title. So not to be redundant I agree with your other conclusions about the shoe to this point. I sized 1/2 size down and they are just a little more snug than the X2, so I would still suggest with a normal width foot sizing down. From my POV the haircut makes you look younger but, your girls opinion is the important one. (:

    • @thatfitfriend
      @thatfitfriend  Рік тому +1

      I'm hoping, too! Feels like the first Reebok since the X that I can trust when tackling different types of WODs. I appreciate you sharing sizing insights for others, too.
      2023 should be (fingers crossed) an exciting year for CF-focused shoes. Now, I'm curious to see if the Metcon 9 is going to be a step in the right direction like the X3 or a bust.

    Pros:
    1)More aerodynamic for short and mid range runs
    2)breathable for outdoor/summer workouts and pickle ball game
    Cons:
    1)less Viking like intimidation
    2)need to adjust hat rotation.
    Overall:
    Solid for multi case use, but not the best for more niche workouts

    @thatfitfriend thanks for the review. The current lifting shoes I have is the Reign 4 AMP Pro which is a really good shoe but it's wearing out now. I find myself doing a lot of walking and jogging now because I am trying to lower my weight so my options were the X3 or the Metcon 9. I also watched your review where you put those two up against each other and made my decision based on that review to go with the X3 for the type of training that I do. I will receive them on Tuesday this week coming. Thanks for a great review.

    Hi Jake, another excellent review video on such an expected shoe, really good job! I was wondering, if you don't mind, if you could explain a little bit why the Lift and Run chassis helps with stability in heavier lifts by compressing, when at least I thought that compression of the midsole is to be avoided for lifting. Thank you!

    • @thatfitfriend
      @thatfitfriend  Рік тому +1

      Thank you, sir! Great Q.
      What I mean by that is when squatting, for example, the internal Chassis compresses and lays flat with the midsole. The midsole doesn't compress a ton so you have a "flatter" surface to train on and when I say "compression" it's only oriented towards the Chassis that is designed to compress when loaded!

    My X1's were destroyed by rope climbs. Hopefully the X3's hold up better. I mean, is a shoe really a Crossfit shoe if you can't rope climb in them?

    • @thatfitfriend
      @thatfitfriend  Рік тому

      That's how I feel, too, rope climbing isn't the most programmed movement, but at the same time...it's kind of like a right of passage for a shoe to be a really stellar CrossFit shoe.
      This is why I had folks mad at me for not including the Nano X2 in my Best CF shoe 2022 list, but for $140...if they break after a week, I can't recommend them for that context. I'm hoping the X3s stand strong!

    When it comes to the shoe, I think reebok is trying to hey back to what the nano used to be compared to the x1 and the x2.
    I bought a pair of x2s for a friend who was trying to get into the gym again after your video of the shoe sizing for different feet anatomy. I watched the whole video and found that the x2 was probably her best option considering the foot width. She loves them and they fit perfectly.

    Hey Jake,
    I recently got a pair of X3 but can't decide which size to keep. I got both 8 and 8.5 but and they both fit. I haven't used them in the gym yet. The 8 is a bit tighter of course but still comfortable. Should I stay with the tighter shoes or just go with 8.5. Love the content as well. Super informative

    • @thatfitfriend
      @thatfitfriend  5 місяців тому

      Shoot, I'm just now getting this comment! I think YT had a backlog because I just got like 15 comments from a few days ago.
      I think it comes down to your comfort preferences and if you have heel slip in the bigger size. If you're cramming your toes in the 8 and your heel isn't popping out in the 8.5, stick 8.5. Conversely, if you're sliding around/heel slipping in the 8.5, then snugger is the move!

    I tried on X2's TTS and it felt narrow through my midfoot. I've seen you address midfoot width in some others such as inov-8 being narrow down the middle. I've been on a shoe review binge, just waiting to pull the trigger on my wide feet. Do you notice any difference in midfoot width, basically through the arch, between x2 and x3? Thanks for all the reviews, they're great.

    • @thatfitfriend
      @thatfitfriend  Рік тому

      A bit, but I'm not sure you'll find the X3 is different enough to be comfortable for you, honestly. Its last construction is pretty similar to the X2 and while I like its midfoot fit better than the X2, I don't think it's different enough to be worth you investing in them just to return them, IMO.

    Have you ever trained with the nano 2.0? With the re-release of the 2.0 not sure if I should get that or the x3. The 2.0 seems to be loved by a lot of crossfitters. What do you think? Which do you prefer?

      Nano X3 gives you more range IMO. And it has a slightly wider fit which I like!

I've always been a Nike guy and was going to wait for the Metcon 9 though these look amazing too. I know no one can tell the future but would you recommend the Nano X3 or waiting to see if the Metcon 9s can match / beat these?

      That's a tough one...IMO, I'd wait for the 9 if the 4s will give you a few more months but keep an eye on X3 sales/coupons for that model. If you can find an X3 for $110 then I would grab a pair. If not, I'd just wait for the 9 since you're a Nike guy!

    Hi Jake, I have a question about size and how this shoe is supposed to fit. Basically my right foot is a bit longer and it's roughly a bit more than 29cm. The US 12 is 30cm but i'm noticing threre's room in my toebox which is higher in the left shoe (roughly 2cm). Do you think that for crossfit training I should go down of half a size? I don't know if there's the risk to have not enough room in my toebox. Could you kindly suggest? Thank you!

    • @thatfitfriend
      @thatfitfriend  Рік тому

      IMO, if they're comfortable and you're not experiencing heel slip issues/sliding around in them while training, then sizing down may not be needed. Tough to say, though, because a lot of this in individual preferences. I always say let comfort/performance dictate the size that works. Some folks like a snugger fit while other enjoy a looser fit!

    I've been doing a bit of research and I'm fairly new to these types of shoes, but I was wondering if anyone can tell me if it is ok to do lo bar squats with these specific shoes or should I opt for something with a lower heel-to-toe drop. Are deadlifts with this heel-to-toe drop ok to use as well or will have have to change some things?

    • @thatfitfriend
      @thatfitfriend  7 місяців тому +1

      You're fine using them for low-bar and deads. As you get more niche and serious with your training you'll start to learn if you like a drop or not, but starting out/getting more serious, I always recommend trying out multiple things to see what works and going from there!
