    The biggest diff to me is that the Reebok shoe is a sneaker built to be able to do three different things, while the Nike sneakers feels like it's three different shoes being mashed together. And it just doesn't work.

    I've just gotten the Nano X4 (literally haven't worn it yet!). I had and still have the Metcon 8 and the heels started wearing out on mine very early. I do NO running or cardio stuff in these shoes at all. I basically wear them at the gym which has rubber flooring or occasionally when I walk the dog, and the plastic heel starting wearing way too early.

    • @thatfitfriend
      @thatfitfriend  3 місяці тому

      That's because it juts out and for some folks who have a lot more heel strike it takes a brunt of that impact. Not completely abnormal to here, tbh!

    Hello Jake
    I have been wanting to replace my old converse with a good pair of training shoes
    Have narrowed down to 2 pairs. Nike Metcon 9 and nobull trainer
    Which shoe would you recommend . I am a runner and follow a push pull legs split
    Sometimes switching to functional training
    I have a bunch of running shoes and am looking for something more workout specific
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated 🙏

    • @thatfitfriend
      @thatfitfriend  11 місяців тому

      NOBULL Trainer+ could be a good option to look into! Much better than the Nike models these days for your context since the newer Nike aren't very runnable

  • @theepilogue2190
    @theepilogue2190 7 місяців тому

    I just got a few pairs of the Nano X-4s. And I can say without question from my perspective, that so far these are among the best workout shoes that I've ever had! I was coming from the X-3s and the Nike Metcon 9s, and I gotta say for me the X-4s are already a MAJOR improvement and I've only had them for a few days. I can literally feel the difference in my workouts!

    What is the best CrossFit shoes in your opinion? I already had the Rebook, I didn't like it, it wasn't very durable. I had the Nike, it also didn't last long and I didn't think it was good for CrossFit. So now I have the Nobull, it lasted for many years, great shoes, I just find it not very breathable. Now I need to buy a new one, I wanted one that was more comfortable and breathable than the Nobull. I'm thinking about UA Reign 6 after seeing your reviews.

  • @krakatoasundra
    @krakatoasundra 7 місяців тому

    the Nano 14 is way better looking. but unfortunately, it’s 7 mm heel drop. To me, the Hyperlift plate is a dumb gimmick that lowers the performance of the shoes. i don’t know. these days, i only wear minimal shoes because i have enough joint mobility and have a lot of natural feet/lower leg shock absorption that i don’t need i need shock absorbing and stability shoes. the body just does it for me.

    • @thatfitfriend
      @thatfitfriend  4 місяці тому

      Depends on your foot anatomy/training. It’s not necessarily that black and white
      For lifting, for example, the metcon 9 beats the nano X4, and the Dropset outperforms both imo

    I prefer the metcon 8 over the 9. And the Nano X4 trumps over both the metcons. My rotational crossfit shoes are between the Nano X4 and the metcon 8.

    The nano are very durable and comfortable (once broken in). I wear everyday casually. But if I want to go for a sprint or the gym. I might buy the adventure version. In case I want to go on a spontaneous trail run or hike. My hypothesis is that they are good for heavy people to bare their weight better also. I wear the same clothes too that I also sleep in. Less stress. I want to be prepared to do anything.
