I'm very interested in the marketing idea of certain career fields receiving discounts. It's virtue signaling at it's finest, with the hope that it will align itself with others that also want to show how their support for healthcare "heros". The problem is it's bull crap, which ironically is contrary to their namesake. Oh you mean you mean you go to work and do your job for which you are paid? Effin heros! Not exclusive to bobull, nike is always doing stupid virtue signaling crap all the time.

​@@samclegg2805 Conversely, not sure if it's a bad thing. From a business perspective, I'd view any discount to a certain demographic as a marketing expense. Their products are great, and if they can find acquire a customer through a discount, who then feeds positive reviews of their products to those who don't, it's a win-win for the consumer and business. NoBull has utilized ID.me, along with quite a few other companies, to provide discounts. Also, from my knowledge, NoBull doesn't openly advertise this discount. Personally, I don't qualify for any of the discounts, but I have spoken to them about it. As for the virtue signal, I do understand your point. To that, I'm not a fan, but also a business as their own entity/identity is able to do what they want. We answer with our dollar.

I'm fairly new to Crossfit about 3 months in perhaps. I absolutely love my NoBulls i wear them everyday not just for lifting but my day to day as well. The durability is phenomenal with these and they aren't too bad for running. I have worn mine for a few 4-mile runs but I land on my midfoot. If you are a heel striker i can see some discomfort coming on after even 1600 meters.

Another good options would be minnimalist running shoes (I have a saucony type A9, super great for running and also very stable, good power transfer, also super bare bones). Tennis shoes could be good, very stable, also latteral stabillity, best would be hard court I guess (best grip) basketball shoes meh, indoor football shoes heck yeah! Why? They fit snugly and can be very minimalist and hard wearing. Also, shot put, hammer throw and discus shoes are stable and pretty good I think. Skateboard shoes are okay for lifting nit cross fit, they aren't too stable with lockdown in directional impact movement but when lifting they can be great. Good when you can get enough lockdown. Anything minimalist and stable is a yes.

I hope they sponsored you by now! Because this is the first time I hear about this shoe.

I also have wide feet with a high bridge. They're a little pricy but I don't like buying cheap stuff either...it just means I have to put off buying my next $250 Thorogood boots. Decisions decisions.

The bike will be no problem. I sometimes bike to the gym in these. As for the treadmill, I've done 30+ minutes at a moderate speed (5.5 to 6.5) with no issues. For longer times or distances on a treadmill, you're fortunate to get some give on the machine so they work great. At that length on pavement or a track, I wouldn't recommend it due to the lack of cushion.

As for the NOBULL runners, I'm not a fan to use them in workouts. They're not really great running shoes, at no fault to them. They just don't have the R&D behind them compared to running focused companies like Nike, Asics, Brooks, and my absolute favorite - Hoka One One. I think they're trying to be an in between that are good for WODs that have running/lifting, but they kind of fall in a weird limbo for me. Okay at either, but not great if that makes sense.
