My question, is the upper of the grit more like the nano x?

Great video. Nano ix was My last Reebok shoe... X looks great... But this xi i don't like, looks more nano 7... Nike metcon6 thought is verter option for CrossFit shoes

Yeah, I rated the Metcon 6 as slightly better too. But it doesn't fit some people correctly (Width, collar, etc.) Some people don't like the styling too, so it's good that we have options from different manufacturers.

Yes but are they comfortable for walking and exercise?

Is there a difference in weight between the two types? Is the one with a stronger fabric more stable? keeps the foot firmer?

There is not a physical difference in weight. As such, I recommend the grit as it is probably going to be more durable. The grit feels like it hugs the upper part of your foot more closely, although that may be purely a tactile sensation and not a performance increase.

Is the Knit easier to do cardio-like activities with (jump rope, box jumps, burpees, sprints etc..)?

Not really. It's the same weight overall. If there's a difference in performance, I can't feel it.

Tried the Grit on this weekend at RoadRunner. God they felt awful. The high stack felt miserable and the "cushioning" was really not noticeable to me. Would love to see you review the UA tribase 3

Do you mind if I ask what shoe you've been running in previously? It's good to get different perspectives...

@@fitatmidlife927 Hi,,,is like cross fit...a lot of pivot of feet, lateral movements, jumps...etc:)

Which shoe is best for HIIT, not for running (for running I have a hoka). Nike free metcon 3, reebok x1 grit, nike superrep go, reebok hiit, UA rise 2 / tribase reign 2

Assuming bodyweight HIIT exercises - I'd go with Nike Free Metcon 3 OR SuperRep Go (If you want or need significantly more cushion). I have not personally tested the Reebok TR shoe.

@@fitatmidlife927 I also have a nike metcon repper dsx that I bought when I was just starting out. But I don't have enough cushioning in them, but they are great for strength training in the future.

I'd go Free Metcon 3 then. SuperRep Go too mushy for weights.

The grit looks like the 8s flex weave.

Yeah, it definitely looks like the 8 or 9.

anyone notice these slippery in gym? Thinking its from spraying everything down for covid

Maybe a tip for your future videos: get to the point and leave out empty spaces. This video could easily have been half of its length
