The best socks for mid or high top sneakers that are thin: Feetures High-Performance Ultra Light Quarter. My pair has lasted me 4 years. They're also the perfect height for Converse, PF Flyers and GoRuck (boots).

another brand that I didn't even know existed haha. great job, Jake. loving the new edits.

They're all over my Insta because the great algorithmic vortex makes it so.

My bar told me today while I was straining during a squat that Jake does helpful shoe reviews.

Haha, I love that! Tell the bar that its paycheck is in the mail 😂

I really think that at least half of the complains about shoes being too narrow are ACTUALLY about the SHAPE of the Toebox. That's the reason why buying "wide" shoes still doesn't work.

Maybe, and that’s a good point! Last constructions vary a lot, sure, but your toes scream in this model due to them running snug af with their taper 😂

Good call out. I always thought these were supposed to be wide

The social media marketing for them is a little misleading, imo.

Looks like they stole the sole of the Puma Fuse 2.0. Great review!

This might be a long shot. Do you have any recommendations for reebok lite lifting shoe? I had two pairs and they both got stolen when my car got stolen😅.

Thank you for the kindness man! I’d be happy to take them!

so if i'm a 9.5 in regular shoes, should i size up or down the half size? pull ons and wellingtons i size down a half size. 10 is too much toe room in all shoes, but 9s are too tight in laced shoes. ok my fault i commented before the sizing section of the video. looks like size up

About the same!

It really blows my mind how these multi billion companies like Nike and reebok are unable (or maybe un-WILLING, who knows?) to produce the best shoes on the entire market by listening to feedback from people like you who actually train in them and compare dozens of pairs. Also, how can a company discontinue a shoe like Nano X or Nano 6?! It's like as if Nike would just Discontinue The Air max 90 or the Air force 1 after 1 year? Nobody discontinues their flagship sneakers, so why do they do this with training shoes? I don't get it. If anyone of them up there actually used their brain they would make the metcon 8s toebox more anatomical, give it metal eyelets for the laces and reinforce the entire shoe with an additional layer of leather or synthetic material right where the Upper attaches to the shoe at the edge, also all of those shoes should be stitched to the sole like in the old days instead of glued. But it's all about these shoes hopefully breaking down after a year so the consumer has to buy another made in China product for 10 dollars more each year... Also Id really like to know whether all these fancy ocean plastic materials actually leech various chemicals into your skin when it's hot and you sweat a lot while training...

Feel you. I honestly think it has to do with the consumerism mindset of, "need the latest, greatest, more more more, etc." These companies build something great, then change and innovate just for the sake of doing so without much thought sometimes, it seems. I think it also had to do with companies not using proper athletes for the specific types of training/shoes they're building. Who knows, lol.
