    Awesome content. Thank you so much for your hard work! I have made up my mind and I'm getting the Adidas Dropset Trainer 2 (since I rarely do anything outside of lifting). I was about to check out, when I noticed that this model is on sale for $60!! But only for the women's version. Is there any major construction difference between getting the "men's" version, and the "women's" model? Besides sizing, of course.
    Thanks again! 🙏🏻

    • @thatfitfriend
      @thatfitfriend  6 місяців тому

      Would be a sizing and fit difference. I'm not sure if Adidas sizes unisex with this model or not, tbh. Unless you have a super wide foot, I think you'd be fine if you went with women's sizing but tread lightly in doing so because that's just my hunch!

    • @thatfitfriend

      Dropset 2 feels much more lifting focused and the heel construction is better, imo! It also has more flexibility through the forefoot

    Hello Jake, how are you?
    I was looking to buy the dropset 2 shoes because they had a good grip on my foot and also had a wide toe box (I have a fairly wide toe area even though I wear size 8/8.5). However, they are not suitable for running medium to long distances.
    Can you recommend some shoes that don't have a narrow toe box and are good for running? Also, they shouldn't be more than 150 USD.
    I think the options should be Nike or Adidas since I'm from Argentina, and not many products are available here.
    Thanks!
    As always, you bring the best shoe analysis content.

      Hmmm, the Nike Free Metcon 5 might work, the Nano 2.0 will give you width but will feel dense and uncomfy for longer runs, Nano X3 can be a good hybrid option butttt you may find hem to be too snug through the forefoot.

    hi. Looking for versatile training,, never owned a training shoe. Can we do lunges with these shoes? Also, I couldn't find any reebok outlets in my city, I didn't want to order them online and return them if they didn't fit..
    I have wider feet,, tried dropset 2,, and the uk10 was tight, 11 was a little long. They don't dell half sizes in my country,, so should I get the bigger size in this situation?

    • @thatfitfriend
      @thatfitfriend  4 місяці тому

      Can totally do lunges in them.
      IMO, if you're not sliding around or having heel slip in the 11, then you'll probably be fine in them! If you are having slip issues, then you'll want to explore other options. Let me know what's going on in that context!

    Love your review... From classes and hit workouts in slippery floors I prefer the drop set 2 for all the rest nano x3 is the shoe to go. For lesmills classes and hit workouts dropset 2. For all the other athletic activities in a gym nano x3. If adidas make a shoe like nano with the rubber of dropset 2 you have the ultra shoe 👟

    Went over the video again today~ maybe it is just me - the "membrane" (include top part of the patellar tendon) wrapping my knees just cannot stand the flat-forefoot/toe-cap style shoes which is considered a good model for weightlifting😅 I still keep the dropset 2 for my chest day (its stability perfect for lifting heavy dumbbells) but use dropset 1 for squatting instead...

    I've had both, the biggest take away for me is that Nano is so unstructured in the forefoot (top) compared to the dropset 2; they bagged out really fast. Dropset 2s feel much more stable with load while being a thinner, lighter shoe. The Nano feels like a chunky 'sneaker' vs the DS2 training shoe feel.
    If you do more agile work: Nano
    If you want an all purpose lifting shoe, DS2
    Be careful when it comes to width, the outsole of the DS2 sticks out more on the right side of the shoe making it 'look' wider than it is.
    For reference I use Reebok PRIIs, powerlite mids and adidas totals (all in current rotation). I’m slowly finding both pairs of adidas are all I need.

    I felt unstable in the Nano X3 and returned them. I also dont like having the same shoe that everyone else at my CF gym has 😂.
    I wanted to make the Dropset 2 work for me, so bad. But somehow they were just too long for the size that i normally use (too much room between front of toes and shoe). I even tried downsizing and then they were too tight on the midfoot.
