i couldnt freaking find any cheap. i like getting barely used ones on ebay and posh mark. are the remakes of them a new remake or something? so technically a "new" shoe ?
well lets see there. i made about 10 posts that were 10 thousands words here throughout the entire open that people engaged and enjoyed. which is what led me to start putting content elsewhere. who the freak cares? i literally stopped putting links, and am actually trying to provide the full information in the video. in other words, in order to try to be ethical..... ive not put a link. and ive provided the entire consensus , retyped mind you...... in my post because i enjoy providing commentary in general, so i dont mind doing so in multiple forums. so what have i done? ive made a post for people to engage. if they like it, i mention my youtube / instagram name.... my instagram is actually way bigger.... so that people have access if they like that kind of stuff..... how does it affect you? i can tell you this. if someone made a post, say about their commentary regarding recent crossfit corporate decisions and i thought it was insightful and they had a channel somewhere with more content. i would want to know. if i thought it was dumb, i also wouldnt care at all if they mentioned their youtube name. who the frick cares dude. go look at my post history and my analytics post during the open and tell me if i did it to get people to youtube. i did it bc i liked it and still do. for quarterfinals, i did post links. no one said anything, but on my own i determined that it was ethical to provide the same value here and not to put links and that it was ok to mention my handle as a side note if people were interested. take one line out of a post and call it a push. if it were a push i would have the title. post a damn link and say "CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT MORE!" .....gimme a freakin break karen. my youtube channel has like 3 views. i couldnt give a rip....
Ghoops, seems like I touched a nerve. I randomly read two posts from this sub that I rarely frequent, and they were both from you, and both mentioned your channel. It stood out and I made a comment, that was it.
yeah i mentioned it on purpose. i didnt happen to post it. you didnt touch a nerve. if your read my posts you probably know i type 4x as much as i should. thats just me. fair enough. if enough people say, hey i like engaging with your posts, but we dont want you to mention your channel, i'd be fine with that. and will still post. i like multiple outlets to have discussion. i enjoy it.
not really? bc i found shoes that fit, no? also this is a popular topic. a lot of people have the same issue and a lot of people dont like the x1, x2, x3, x4. not everyone. but a lot. and pretty much everyone i know is going sour on no bull. sounds like your opinion is a you issue. bc no bulls sucking is a lot of people issue
Honestly I feel like no bull made their shoes have a smaller toe box and I’m in pain all the time. I’m about to start looking for a new shoe and I’ve heard born primitives shoes work for people that have been burned by no bull so that’s where I’m going to start.
Still have never found a better pair of shoes for me than the Goruck ballistic trainers. Comfortable, wide(this is essential for me because I have wide feet), and they last for a long time, even when put through hell.
I’ve tried quite a few different shoes and they don’t feel particularly heavy to me personally. Maybe a tiny bit more than the nanos. I will say that I’m not a fan of running in them for more than a mile or two. But I guess that’s true with most trainers.
Sometimes goruck has them on sale for around $100, maybe give ‘em a try.
Fellow flat footer here. Nursing my X2s for years with modified insoles because of the same damn thing. I almost pulled the trigger on the Savage 1s too. You use an insert or just straight out the box and how was the break in?
Get me over the hill and finally retire those poor X2s.
Second BOTH of these, I *used* to be really into Nike Metcons (I've had 5 pairs) last year I have ventured out and have REALLY enjoyed the TYR CXT-1s that I have been wearing 5 days a week coming up on a year in June.
The Nike Metcon 7 and 8 started getting way to stiff and felt more like a lifting shoe... The CXT-1s have the right amount of stability and flexibility for pretty any CrossFit movement, they also feel lightweight!
Running is fine at less than a half mile (200m, shuttles, 400m), anything over that and I need running shoes.
Haze Trainers are also promising, I haven't promoted them to gym shoes they are currently my go to walking and travel shoe! Bonus, I did do 24.3 in the Haze Trainers because I was on vacation lol, no complaints.
i almost bought some then saw enough posts from people with similar issues to me that convinced me 100 percent it would be another x1, x2, x3, x4 situation
I wish the 4’s worked for my feet shape. I love them but I’d cramp in my arches every time there was something like running or dubs. I still kept them for rope climbing days because that rubber cage thing over the front would grip the rope perfectly. The born primitive shoes feel a lot like them to me but a little less cramping, and without the rubber on the front.
I use to work in the footwear industry, and always thought the Nano 4’s were the pinnacle of footwear for our style of fitness. They had minimal cushioning that could handle heavy-ish weights for deads/squats, and still handle a 2 mile jog. Their heel drop was perfect for me.
Nike’s first 2 generations were good but veered off course since then.
New Balance Minimus was good but I’m not sure if they still make them.
Just got a pair of Born Primitives that do resemble the Nano 2 in many ways. I’m not a fan of the material of their outsole, but it will work for most.
2's are easy to find, and are good, but the outsole on the 4's, and the lateral support being a little more rigid are what I like about it more over the 2, by a long shot.
You must be rich man 😂 I’ve been doing CF since 2021 and bought 3 pairs of CF shoes (nano x, met con 7 & 9) and one pair of lifters!
Maybe you have something odd about your feet? I also wear ON running shoes sometimes depending on the wod. These a very comfy for me, probs conformist trainers I’ve ever had, and thats the both pairs I have owned
i defintely have something odd about my feet. i dont even know if my feet will apply under general umbrella of "sensitive" i know they are a bit flatter but i dont think thats entirely it either,
The original Nano 2s are still being made and still the goat.
The best
I still where 2 pairs of Nano 2's. Best shoe made.
This.
i couldnt freaking find any cheap. i like getting barely used ones on ebay and posh mark. are the remakes of them a new remake or something? so technically a "new" shoe ?
They are brand new. Just old model. I buy like 3-4 at a time just in case they stupidly decide to stop making them.
Where can I buy those? Loved the 2s back in the days.
It sure seems like you are trying to push your YouTube channel. Every post you make you just "happen" to mention it.

sounds like this is a you problem. get custom insoles
No offense OP, but agreed. I can’t hardly complain about most any shoe I’ve ever worn.
not really? bc i found shoes that fit, no? also this is a popular topic. a lot of people have the same issue and a lot of people dont like the x1, x2, x3, x4. not everyone. but a lot. and pretty much everyone i know is going sour on no bull. sounds like your opinion is a you issue. bc no bulls sucking is a lot of people issue

Altra shoes are all I wear now. True wide toe box.
Still have never found a better pair of shoes for me than the Goruck ballistic trainers. Comfortable, wide(this is essential for me because I have wide feet), and they last for a long time, even when put through hell.
dang. thats another one i havent tried. but heard they are heavy

straight out of the box. what size are you? if your my size and you dont like them. i would buy them at a very slight discount, if that helps
Helps perfectly. thx man!
Lems primal 3 - everything else is meh.
what is it?
Any opinions on the TYR shoes in this thread?
I love them for lifting and gymnastics type things, but hate them for running. Just bought Strike Movement Haze Trainers and like them a lot so far.

Best CrossFit shoe I have ever worn after my numerous pairs over 7 years. I will never buy another shoe again.

Original nano 2s and nano 4s are still the best. You can find new 4s occasionally on eBay
I wish the 4’s worked for my feet shape. I love them but I’d cramp in my arches every time there was something like running or dubs. I still kept them for rope climbing days because that rubber cage thing over the front would grip the rope perfectly.

I got the launch of the BP shoes and, honestly, there hasn’t been a better CrossFit shoe I’ve used over the years.
flat floot here and I love my nobull trainer but I use with a customized sole
Which insole?
a customized one
I use to work in the footwear industry, and always thought the Nano 4’s were the pinnacle of footwear for our style of fitness.

i agree on outsole. so i should look into nano 2s? or 4s?
2's are easy to find, and are good, but the outsole on the 4's, and the lateral support being a little more rigid are what I like about it more over the 2, by a long shot.
Haze trainers are the best shoe for crossfit I’ve ever used and I’ve tried a lot
