Hey Jake, Awesome video. What an amazing shoe collection you've got. I love running and working out. I switched to barefoot shoes a long time ago and got two pairs of the Hykes Pinnacle-one for the gym (especially for leg day) and the other for running/walking. What do you think about barefoot shoes for working out and running? Thanks for sharing! 🤛🤛

Can be great depending on preferences! Shoe selection in that context is highly individual and context dependent. My biggest advice to most is to rotate shoes based on what allows you to perform your best. Get to go hard without skipping a beat and expose the ankles/feet to different stressors!

I feel like you've probably answered this in past videos, but would you recommend the Vans ultrarange exo for shorter metcon runs? I only have nanos and I constantly get shin splints, but my gym usually programs a lift with a run, and I'm a heavier lifter, so they work great for that part.

You can lift in them, but they'll have stability thresholds. If you're wanting to double down on your performance in both verticals then I'd suggest having separate tools for different jobs. Grab a shoe for running when you're doing longer distances and a trainer for your lifting + cross-training sessions. Your shoes will last longer, too, by rotating them!

On Cloud X3 or F-Fly would be solid bets, imo! Give me some inches...pls?
I am looking for shoes for Orange Theory Fitness workouts. Based on your videos, I have tried Reebok Nano x4, UA TriBase Reign 5, Adidas Dropset Trainer 2, and Nike Metcon 5. Nothing has worked so far for me. They are all very uncomfortable for running sessions at OTF, which are usually about 25 to 30 minutes long. Can you please suggest good hybrid shoes that are comfortable for running and weight lifting?

Love the list!! Can you please do the same list for some budget friendly running and lifting shoes? PS Haven't been on youtube lately, seeing you after a long time, you definitely are aging backwards my friend😂😂. Keep it up!

I have a budget training shoe video coming out in the next few weeks! Haha, it's just endless injection of botox every single week prior to videos. I'm going to look 10 by the end of the year
I feel like R.A.D instead of keep releasing new colorways should be releasing at least 2 new shoes.

I don't mind that they're not innovating all of the time, honestly, but it would be cool to see a "wide" version or a new model in the next year. My fear is some of the smaller brands breaking good things by trying to innovate all of the time like Nike, Reebok, etc. Curious for your Haze Trainer feedback
Hi Jake. I really like F-lite G300. Do you think the F-Fly will replace it and is it a better shoe?
@thatfitfriend

I don't think so. They have different performance intents. G 300 is much more stable and dialed for CF so it's different enough, imo

It can for some, but note, the midfoot is pretty tapered in them. What do you currently wear?
I want tyr but a little bit concerned for the fits. They have wider version but it I read many comments and people said it’s still narrow. Also, since it’s bigger than normal, I wonder if it’s ok for deadlift.

It's fine for deads, but yeah, the wide isn't that wide, tbh. Have you considered the Reebok Nano 2.0 or Born Primitive Savage 1?
Hi Jake ! Wich one you recommend for mildly jogging and gym , i wear wide shoes .Not heavy lifting ( less than 250lbs)

CloudPulse or PUMA models would work great, imo. If you want a more minimalist ride, go F-Fly!
Have you ever tried anything from Altra? I’ve been very curious about the escalante and solstice. Defiantly leaning in the running end of the spectrum, but I’m curious why I don’t hear about them more. great stuff as always!

Yeah, I've reviewed the Solstice XT 2! They're not bad. The durability on their outsole can be "meh" though so I'm hoping that gets fixed in the XT 3 so I can recommend them more without worry of breakdown

Hey man. any suggestions on best shoes for lifting but to wear all day whilst walking around / doing personal training sessions / coaching etc. I currently wear nano flex trx 2.0 for lifting / daily wear and nano x3 for heavier sessions but looking to treat myself to a new pair of gym shoes I can wear all day.

RAD ONE or STR/KE Haze Trainer are my faves. Look good and are comfy + baller for training. RAD has a bit more sole to it and sizes a smidge more narrow. Haze is wider and has a more minimalist vibe

You can lift in them, but they'll have stability thresholds. If you're wanting to double down on your performance in both verticals then I'd suggest having separate tools for different jobs. Grab a shoe for running when you're doing longer distances and a trainer for your lifting + cross-training sessions. Your shoes will last longer, too, by rotating them!
