Here’s some of the styles available now: Cloud X Training Shoe – Video Review on our YouTube Channel Why read when you can watch? Check out this video from our YouTube channel: Cloud X Training Shoe – Overview All right, let’s talk about the tech. First of all, let me say this is a very light-weight training shoe. A Men’s Size 11 (US) weighs in at only 9.2 ounces. That, in and of itself, doesn’t tell you much – but consider that a Reebok Nano X in the same size is in the 14 ounce range, as is the Nike Metcon 6. When you put these shoes on the lightweight feeling is immediately apparent. How do they do this? First of all the upper is thin and breathable. It’s got perforations up front – you can see some ( a [Read more …]

Athletic Socks for CrossFit Review

December 28, 2020 clothesadmin Comments Off on Athletic Socks for CrossFit Review

Let’s review the best athletic sock for CrossFit. This is going to be a review of athletic and running socks. But, before you hit the back button – give it a chance. I’m the person that always bought cheap socks. Whatever was cheap and available in a 12 pack – and usually $20 or less. But after I started testing real athletic socks intensively – I found out all the benefits of a comfortable, performance sock that fits right. So ditch those Costco socks and look at these options for the CrossFit WOD (or any other workout, really): Let’s review these socks! Athletic Sock vs Running Sock – Is there a Difference? First of all, let’s define what an athletic sock is? And, is this the same thing as a running sock? There is some overlap, and the line between the two is blurry, for sure. Here are the key differences. Athletic socks are for general workout and physical activity (like exercise). Athletic socks are light-weight, breathable, and usually have a mild compression effect. They have a stretchy, comfortable fit. [Read more …]

Reebok Nano X Cross Training Shoe Now Available

April 28, 2020 clothesadmin Comments Off on Reebok Nano X Cross Training Shoe Now Available

Reebok has launched the Reebok Nano X (Get it now!) – the 10th iteration of their excellent CrossFit training shoe. It is available now to Reebok Unlocked members – but will be available globally on May 5th. (Please note we are a Reebok affiliate). We’ve ordered two pairs (both mens and womens) with express shipping. Check back here for a full hands-on review, and on our YouTube channel soon. In the meantime, here’s take a close look at what’s new with this CrossFit shoe. Here’s some of the launch styles that are available now: While we wait, let’s take a look. Let’s start with the side profile – the Nano x is taller – specifically in the heel and tongue/collar. The upper is “upgraded Flexweave” – it looks different than the original Flexweave. It’s described as being a soft woven textile upper. Reebok is claiming a “minimal drop outsole.” At the moment, I’m assuming that means it is unchanged from the Nano 9 at 4 millimeters. (The “heel to toe drop”, “offset”, or “profile” all refer to the height difference [Read more …]

OOFOS Sandals for Men

October 16, 2022 clothesadmin Comments Off on OOFOS Sandals for Men

OOFOS makes the world’s best sandals (flip-flops). I found this brand via GORUCK – they had a very time-limited OOFOS sandal branded with the GORUCK spearhead – but they are all sold out – nd have been for quite some time. But that’s OK because you can get OOFOS Sandals from Road Runner Sports. (They don’t carry the GORUCK spearhead branded version though…) Exercise is good for the body as it helps in promoting general health.

Nano X1 Women’s Training Shoes in Acid Yellow

February 1, 2022 clothesadmin Comments Off on Nano X1 Women’s Training Shoes in Acid Yellow

Check out this hot new colorway of the Reebok Nano X1. This is a Women’s Training Shoe for CrossFit From being a cross-training shoe, Reebok’s Nano X1 has evolved into becoming the Shoe of Fitness. Athletes who combine running and plyometric training will be happy to wear this shoe with its Flexweave knit upper and extra Floatride Energy foam cushioning. Get it now, from Reebok: Nano X1 Training Shoe Review We reviewed the Nano X1 Men’s training shoe – and the Women’s version is similar. Reebok fixed the problem areas of the Nano X – and have come up with a contender for the best CrossFit shoe of 2022. The Nano X1 has more dynamic cushion in the midfoot and heel, it’s lighter (by close to 2 ounces), yet it’s stable enough for weightlifting with heavy barbells. In comparison, its predecessor (the Nano X) was not good for running – there was just too little cushion in the heel. Find all the details in our Nano X1 Training Shoe Review.
