I've been dragging my feet on building my page — welcome and thank you for following! Picture this, it’s 2021 and you’re looking for an honest shoe review about the Reebok Nano X1. You find countless “reviews” about the Nano X1 but they’re all reviews from big media companies using stock images and vague language to describe this shoe’s performance. As you search more, you continue to fin

d the same type of reviews and your frustration continues to grow. Who can you trust and realistically turn to for an honest review on the internet, especially when most reviews are glorified adverts? This is the pain point that spurred That Fit Friend’s Editor-in-Chief Jake Boly into action. If you ask Jake, he’ll be the first to tell you that the best recommendations you can ever receive about gear typically come from your trusted circle of peers. After all, nothing is stronger than a word-of-mouth referral from someone you trust. Knowing this and with his background in personal training which lives and dies by word-of-mouth referrals, Jake started to wonder,

“Is it possible to build a site a brand that truly embodies that ‘in-person word of mouth’ trust we all have in our lives and social circles?”

With this idea serving as the mission and guiding beacon, That Fit Friend was born.

AIRHAS BAREFOOT SHOE REVIEW

For $40, you kind of get what you pay for with these.

They can work fine for beginners, budget shoppers, and more static gym work.

IMO, they’re going to fall short for most dynamic things and their fit feels kind of sloppy.

For anything dynamic, better options include:

-Tolos Arch 3
-Lono Flow 2
-Notorious Lift Radix Pro
-AVANCUS Apex Power
-Vivobarefoot Motus Strength
-Inov8 Bare XF V2

Adidas Dropset 3 vs Adidas Dropset 4

The key construction updates that are worth knowing that influence each shoe’s performance and fit.

I like both, but for different reasons.

Dropset 3 = Fantastic for primarily lifting

Dropset 4 = Well rounded for lifting and cross training

Adidas Rapidmove Pro | Things to Like

This shoe has been cool. Walks the line of being a solid hybrid option for workouts with interval runs.

It could also be a contender for HYROX-style sessions that you often see at F45 👟

Welp, that’s not great. Nike Free Metcon 7…

I had the issue pop on my Free Metcon 6. Hav you experienced this?

I don’t see it as a “make or break” for most contexts, but it sure is annoying.

This shoe does a lot things right and I’ve enjoyed them, but it still has a few quirks!
