ReebokMen's Nano Cross Training Shoes

This review is for the grit model which is a more durable upper fabric construction than regular nano X1’s but just as comfortable and breathable. I have wide feet so I sized up half size and these fit snug like a comfortable sock but with perfect support and stability for me. The grit weave on the uppers is breathable but secure so the tightness isn’t an issue but I think on more normal feet there will be room in the toes for splay when lifting or vigorous movement. They hardly needed any break in to fit just right (accept for the aggressive heel lock (but that is very useful for burpees and push-ups to keep the shoe from potentially slipping off, just wear socks that cover your heals over and you will be fine). I get great stability support, balance, and cushioning for doing BeachBody P90x, P90x3, Insanity, T25, and Body Beast workouts. I definitely recommend this model for those types of workouts over the nano X9 or X models. As the previous models are more suited for heavier lifting, not so much for jumping around or quicker movements. This shoe is snug but still gives my toes good room. I would say that for wider feet the shoes are good but if they were any less wide I would be falling over, it’s right at the cusp of being too small. The previous models were a little bit wider which was nice but for me, they are doing what I need them to do. They are great for HIIT type workouts but I still prefer the Nano 9’s for heavier lifting activities as the sole seems more conducive for that.Pros: comfortable for wider feet, good toe room, sole is stable and has good cushioning for a trainer.Good for plyometrics, agility, burpees, lighter weight lifting, lunges, and stability workouts. It’s more universal for all different types of exercises over the previous CrossFit endorsed models of the X9’s and X’s due to the soles having a little more spring in them.Cons: heel lock is going to cause blisters unless you wear longer socks until they break in, tongue is very thin, laces are longer than needed without a real place to store them besides shoving them down the sides of the shoes. Not for heavy heavy leg day in the gym as the soles are a bit squishy under heavy weights (only noticeable if you had the previous models). I’m sure it will be fine for most but I still use the nano 9’s for leg day PR’s or heavier weights. Also, these shoes aren’t true running shoes, only for shorter distances. They are 100% better than the X9’s and X’s which are hard to run in longer than a couple hundred yards but that’s not really what they were meant for. This is due to the shoe style trying to fit in all workout types but with lifting the sole is less springy and more solid for stability.All in all, I recommend these for people looking for a universal exercise trainer shoe. It is really hard to find wider trainer shoes for exercise currently so if you’re like me and searching, these are worth a try.

I’ve been doing CrossFit for over 10 years now. I remember when Reebok came into the picture and trying basically each evolution of the Nanos. I remember loving the 6s and I would still probably wear those if they made them.The new X1s are better for me at this stage in my journey. They do have more cushion than the nanos, which is better on my aging knees when it comes to double unders and running even though it goes against the old primal/barefoot ethos.I looked into the other major competitors and with the shape of my foot (it gets wide towards the toes) the nanos still have the nicest, most comfortable fit. This is a comfortable shoe and works well for when the feet have to perform both statically and dynamically. I’m not normally big on writing reviews but I wish there was this review when I was trying to decide whether to stick with the Nanos post-CrossFit-affiliation or move on to one of the newer cross-training partners. You’re still safe with the reeboks and if you’re an aging crossfiter and/or the reeboks wide toe box has been a deciding factor to this point, then these are definitely a good option.

The shoes are very comfortable more than what I was expecting, good for short and interval running.Stable in box jumps.But not that stable in weight lifting like clean and snatch mainly.Overall excellent shoes that I can use inside and outside gym.

The fit the feel and the finish of those shoes are amazing. Super stable in all lifts(squats, reads, DB/BB lunges) even fast twitch and impact movements. Sprints and jumps etc. I definitely would not run longer than a mile in them given my knee issue but others run just fine for miles in them.

These are very sturdy shoes, they do not have the Gush, which is what I wanted. Firm but elastic enough for lifting and physical activity. I wouldn't use these shoes for running. Cycled 30 miles and felt great!*So comfy I bought another pair, the Red/Black/whites. Great shoe for physically activity! I have flat feet so not great for long amount of running.

Incredible product for the price. True to size, comfortable, and fit for purpose. They look great, vibrant colors and bright white.

I got these due to needing new workout shoes ASAP. They turned out being a lot better than expected. They're incredibly comfortable, great for jumping, and the grip is great as well.Only thing is order half a size smaller than you should. Im normally 11.5 and I ordered these at 11.5 and they're just a bit too big. Not an issue for me but just a tip for you.
