I mostly do strongman style training over crossfit, and these are absolutely my favorite shoes since the Nano 5/6. I dont love them for max deadlifts or squats, but they're absolutely amazing if im doing any sort of carry, pressing, power cleans, stone loading, sled pulling, etc. And they're not bad for deadlift rep work.
Seems like a really solid shoe. I wonder if the "elite" version that has been spotted would be the more dynamic one for regular WODs. Not sure how they are gonna differentiate the two.
Goated review Joel! Thanks very much for the full intricate review. Can't wait for them to be available in Europe! Btw, are they any similar to the rf1 ? I loved the sk8 feel of them, and no other shoe even came close.
How do these compare to gorucks trainers? I’ve been using those over the last 5-6 months as my go to shoe… these have peaked my interest. But, I knew a lot of the issues people had with the 1s.
@@kylegreenley8950 for me it’s no contest, cxt2 are better all around and moreso in lifting. I thought Gorucks were good general trainers but I don’t love the platform for oly because the midsole/insole combos is thick.
@@AMRAP Thanks, I've really enjoyed my gorucks and I've been doing oly in them after my surgery and have found them to be the best all around trainer for me and my foot. Thanks for the reply and the detail review.
@@timcheek8707 they’re better than metcon 8 but not a world of difference. You’d notice more if you’re a heel striker but if you’re a forefoot striker it’s not a huge difference.
@@OliverTheIceDude I prefer them to both because of the more grounded feel...but either way you go they're all good. Dropsets are way wider so that might be a factor.
