Women’s Booty Shorts from Rogue

Let’s review Women’s booty shorts. When doing an intense workout, you need to have the proper gear to get the right support and comfortability.

Here’s some of the styles we are going to look at: Women’s booty shorts – Overview Since Crossfit is a collection of different workouts, you’re going to have to move your body in many ways.

Altama OTB Maritime Assault Boot Review

Let’s review the Altama OTB Maritime Assault Boot (Buy on Amazon) from Altama. No, it’s not a Chuck Taylor Converse – it’s a special-purpose boot originally made for the US Navy Seals. They wanted a shoe that fit and worked like the Converse shoes (i.e. a very simple design) but wanted something that could be used in amphibious operations. These are sometimes called tactical chucks for that reason. Luckily for the rest of us, these shoes can do a lot more than that – and they look good doing it!
