Why NOBULLs are BETTER than other training shoes 

Needed to pin this comment! Important point that they've been doing for quite a while. Thanks for the reminder!

I'm very interested in the marketing idea of certain career fields receiving discounts. It's virtue signaling at it's finest, with the hope that it will align itself with others that also want to show how their support for healthcare "heros". The problem is it's bull crap, which ironically is contrary to their namesake. Oh you mean you mean you go to work and do your job for which you are paid? Effin heros! Not exclusive to bobull, nike is always doing stupid virtue signaling crap all the time.

​@@samclegg2805 Conversely, not sure if it's a bad thing. From a business perspective, I'd view any discount to a certain demographic as a marketing expense. Their products are great, and if they can find acquire a customer through a discount, who then feeds positive reviews of their products to those who don't, it's a win-win for the consumer and business. NoBull has utilized ID.me, along with quite a few other companies, to provide discounts. Also, from my knowledge, NoBull doesn't openly advertise this discount. Personally, I don't qualify for any of the discounts, but I have spoken to them about it. As for the virtue signal, I do understand your point. To that, I'm not a fan, but also a business as their own entity/identity is able to do what they want. We answer with our dollar.

@@WesJH is this discount still active??

And firefighters 🚒

She’s the goodest.

haha, I personally don't understand the cutting in half of shoes in reviews, even the carbon plate running shoes. There's plenty of public schematics that can show an exploded view. And appreciate the awesome feedback. I'll definitely do a follow-up. I can tell you right now though, my shoes still look brand new.

Hey, I really appreciate the kind words and thank you so much for watching! Love making the videos, and sharing products. Comments like that motivate me to make more.

Thanks for watching! No regrets on my end except it’s a gateway into buying a lot of NoBull lol

Awesome, appreciate that! Yea, Garage Gym Review is great, love watching that guy.

Oh yea, huge pain to take on and off. Same as chucks, blazers, jordans. I don't use the high tops when I know I'll be switching to lifters that day.

@@WesJH so maybe better to go with the mid trainer than high tops then? Thought the high tops would offer me more support though. Thanks

For the leather one, did you get the high-top one or the standard one? I am very curious meanwhile skeptical.

@Addison Towne i dont know the ownera

Hey appreciate that a lot, and thanks for your time watching!

Honestly, I've worn my all black NoBull hightops out, and they've looked great.

I was able to get true to size and they fit nicely

Give some adidas HVC's a try, they're super cheap and great for lifting

100% on the list! Going through the "Big 3" right now - Nike and Reebok breakdowns coming soon. Being in Florida, GoRuck is kind of a local company so I really need to give them a review. Everyone I've met from that company has been great. Obviously not aesthetically pleasing, but I've heard good things from their function. As for the NOBULL runners, I'm not a fan to use them in workouts. They're not really great running shoes, at no fault to them. They just don't have the R&D behind them compared to running focused companies like Nike, Asics, Brooks, and my absolute favorite - Hoka One One. I think they're trying to be an in between that are good for WODs that have running/lifting, but they kind of fall in a weird limbo for me. Okay at either, but not great if that makes sense. Sometime down the road, I may do a breakdown of them.

@@WesJH Thanks for getting back so soon man, and thanks for the info. Can't wait to hear your impressions of the GORUCKS sometime, and just your future reviews in general! I'm super bummed about NOBULL's Boston store being closed seeing as I live only 15 minutes away. Never heard of them until your video!

Thanks for watching and the feedback! You know it's funny that I never thought of 'noble' when saying "NoBull." I'd be curious to know if this was a subliminal marketing decision when they landed on the name. Interesting.

Yea, I think NoBull is targeting that CrossFit market in the US military, especially with how many like to have their own box. Also nice that the Army started their Warrior Fitness program. As for the business and law background, I focused on entrepreneurship and patent and trademark law during law school, and worked for a law firm after where we worked with a lot of startups. Learned a lot of end-to-end business processes and requirements that has helped me throughout my post legal career.

They’re probably 3rd under the METCONS, then Nano for me. I need to finally review those. On the list!

The bike will be no problem. I sometimes bike to the gym in these. As for the treadmill, I've done 30+ minutes at a moderate speed (5.5 to 6.5) with no issues. For longer times or distances on a treadmill, you're fortunate to get some give on the machine so they work great. At that length on pavement or a track, I wouldn't recommend it due to the lack of cushion.

They definitely do. He didn’t not say one bad thing about the shoe

Had to size up

I wouldn't say so. I think they're just a tad better than Jordan 1s, but nobody wears those anymore. I think PJ Tucker did most recently and tore up his feet. It's moreso the constant running, and change of direction. Great for workouts with minimal running distance, but I wouldn't wear them for basketball.

@@WesJH okay good to know. I’m just sick of buying different shoes for sports haha. Nanos are my tried and true for CrossFit but maybe I’ll give NoBull a go for my next shoe for that. Thanks so much for the response. Cheers

@@MsCaitor Aren't we all! But you always need the right tool for the job. Shoe companies definitely benefit form us needing shoes for different sports, but there's also a reason.

100% percent imo - I wear mine for everything and anything

Yea absolutely. I personally have never lifted in Vans, but they’re pretty similar. However, from my understanding the toe box is stiffer for the purposes of skateboarding. So I think hat sense they may be more limited than Converse. Deadlifts and squats are a go, but maybe not much else depending on your comfort.

@@WesJH thanks so much ! I got both no bulls and vans for Christmas! I guess I’ll use them both! Thanks lots and amazing review !

Oh no, they actually look sold out online. I've had this for a long time now, so I have no idea if they'll make them again.

Thicker socks. :)

Thank you.

I mean it certainly could if you lace them tight enough, I guess. For me, I've never had any issues with ankle mobility for any sort of workout with high tops. Even wear them when doing GOWOD mobility exercises aimed specifically at the ankles. Personally, high tops are just a preference. I wore high-top baseball cleats, I love Jordan 1s, my boots, etc.

Did you get them yet?

@@charlesmercado3606 yea I got them bro

I do. I think they’re more comfortable than Chucks or Jordan 1s.

In cross functional training, wouldn't say that this is possible. I used to do this when I had more of a bodybuilding regimen.

@@WesJH yeah. You’re right. I’m looking at it from more of a bodybuilder/power lifter point of view. I’ve got two pairs of No bull shoes headed to me in the mail. Can’t wait to try them out. 🤘🏼👍🏼my point still stands about the chucks though, I’ve never thought of them as comfortable enough to wear around the gym unless squatting/deadlifting/ or leg press. My tennis shoes feel like clouds after wearing the chucks for a bit. Haha

So many shoes to review!! I'll get to them at some point! Just finished my Metcon breakdown if you haven't seen it, and I'm doing the Nanos next.

I blame them for constantly coming out with new designs

Wes Same! I got 3 pairs of their canvas also. It’s a lot thicker and sturdier than converse. I like it just as much as the superfabric. I want those black and coffee mids. They are super addicting. Haha

@@Sportdiva7 did you buy any "Lifters" that's the ones I'm thinking of getting.

@@outerspacing9207 no, all trainers. I think their runners are too expensive since I can find running shoes cheaper. And I have a pair of dowins that probably need replacing but I only used them when I didn’t have ankle mobility on squats. I’m impressed with the trainers and I NEVER spend more than $100 on shoes (and I have 7 pairs). Lol I’d say get them because they allow returns.

💀💀💀

To buy or not to buy. That is the question.

I actually haven't, but they look like a thicker boxing shoe. Interesting, and I like the style.

@@WesJH They are amazing to work out in 💪🏽, plus they catch a lot of attention, lol

- They slip on and off like chucks nike blazers, jordan 1s, etc - I think that's just what you get with high-tops; - Interior lining is much better against the skin than the canvas of chucks; - bottom is more forgiving than chucks; and - slightly wider than chucks. I used to wear Chucks for powerlifts, but my feet would stick out over the sides. NoBulls are more comfortable for me. Hope that helps!

I would say so yes. I have a pair and i find they are a little snug at first but once you break them in they fit great. Better than Chucks for sure

I used to love wrestling shoes for squats and deadlifts. But with crosstraining, we add in that element of plyos and running, usually on the streets, that I don't want to use wrestling shoes for.

I appreciate your ability to keep them in shape, but I'm entirely too rough. Chucks also lack integrity on their side stitching, and with my foot and any lateral movements. they always busted at the seams. I had to upgrade.

@@WesJH lol, Nice job on the video had epic info

haha this comes from working as a lawyer specifically with startups. I see a purchase of any product as an investment in that company. Personally, I like to know who they are, and what their market differentiator is, as this is telling as to what I'm paying for. Just a different perspective to give people!

Now, that's the move!

This is very true, and a big factor for a lot of people.

I state why I don’t in the video. Lateral movements bust the stitching of footwear not designed for it

Really!? I’ve had the opposite experience. I’ve gone through 3 nanos, and 2 Metcons. Which ones?

@@WesJH men black trainer.

Wild maybe you got a defective shoe? Everything I've hear about nobull is they last a while and are super durable. What were you using them for?

For me the nike metcon last longer as well

@@mdondo yeah? I had metcons and they lasted me a year of everyday hard use. Only thing that was finished was the insole and the tread was just about completely smooth. I hope these last me just as long or longer.

That's what happens when you continue to research, experience new things, and keep an open mind. Knowledge evolves!

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but from my understanding Nike had to push hard to lure Jordan from signing with Converse. Doing so, they designed the Air Jordan 1 around the style of the Converse Chuck Taylor, a shoe that Jordan loved. Being that the design is inspired from the overall impression of the high top Chuck, it would make it by definition, a derivative.

You know I 100% agree. The quality of the shoes purchased in this video versus the quality of the same shoe sold less than a year later is bad.

Who from NoBull hurt you?
