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.

7 Flat Feet Friendly Training Shoes

I constantly get asked about my favorite training shoes for flat feet, and I always follow up that question by asking follow up questions.

Finding the perfect pair of training shoes for flat feet can be equally fun and frustrating.

Flat feet exist on a spectrum regarding how they’re defined and when we factor in training styles and comfort preferences, the quest to find solid fitting shoes can be a little more complex.

Who is the On CloudPulse Pro *BEST* for?

These are expensive af and I don’t love that aspect, but from On’s offerings, they are by far their best training shoe.

Makes me wonder if they’ll make comparable options with lower prices in the future — if this formula works well for them!

Under Armour Halo Trainer Overview

I’ve had a lot of asks about the Under Armour Halo Trainer. I finally got around to putting them through the wringer for tests and they’ve been interesting.

From Under Armour, the Halo Trainer somewhat feels like a breath of fresh air. To me, this shoe feels like UA’s attempt at rivaling shoes like the Nike Free Metcon 6 and On CloudPulse.

It’s the type of shoe you’ll wear for things like HIIT, classes, and cross-training sessions.

For the most part, I like the UA Halo Trainer. Once broken in, it has a nice bounce to it and it’s [relatively] lightweight for how high its stack height is.

I think if you love Under Armour training shoes and like a lower heel-to-toe drop, then these can make a lot of sense for the class-focused individual.

Do I think this shoe will be a hit for everyone? Not necessarily, but that will come down to your training and foot anatomy needs.
