Top 14 cheap Running for Man

You So I’ve had the sakuni or saucony. Whichever way you want to see it freedom. I saw twos for about three months now. However i haven’t added them in the. Rotation so i added them in yesterday i didn’t have them in the rotation just because i wasn’t sure if i would prefer them a lot more to the freedom wands and i had a stockpile of the freedom ones i didn’t want to jump the gun and move. On too soon and then not want to use the ones that I’ve got so my thoughts based. On doing a bit of a tempo run today so i did twelve and a half miles in tall. Where i run at a four-mile section. Temple had a 800 be a jog recovery then. Did another three-mile tempo just to put. Then through the paces in a faster run and then today i run 24 miles and yeah. So first impressions initial thoughts. The shoe feels very similar to the. Freedom ones which is great the noticeable things for me are the heel so. The heel cup feels a lot more cushioned. There has done in the freedom ones and. There’s physically if you look at the shoe you can see its part of that war as is the tongue initially that just. Feels a little bit strange cuz you’re not you know used to that sort of that. Cushion there but that wasn’t a bad point it didn’t affect my ruin and it. Was just it wasn’t really noticeable to be totally honest other than the first. Sort of I’d say ten minutes then you’ve got the amendments to the crystal reversal see you’ve got some parts of. The soul that’s been cut away the outer and i think this is to improve flexibility of the shoe and potentially drop a little bit of weight or maybe. Just account for the extra cushioning they’ve got into the put a little bit more ever running the sole just to give it a little bit more of a push feel so i. Think by cutting those little bit hearts all out the potentially reduce the. Wait a little bit and improve the flexibility but again wasn’t really noticeable i felt the same on. As it did the freedom ones which is not. Bad thing because i love that you it’s my initial thoughts are the changes that are there don’t really have much of an impact from my point of view and like i say the initial part of the run you’ll. Notice at the heel cup is extra padded and that might feel a little bit loose to you but I’m sure if you tie your shoes differently you can nullify that the heel cups a little bit firmer as well than the ones people complain that it would collapse a bit well i never really had that issue to be honest i don’t know if it affects heel strike is more than it does people who run mid foot a four-foot maybe that’s a. Consideration i don’t know but i never had an issue with it but it is a little bit firmer in the twos but again no real impact for me personally and then in. Terms of running with the shoe just feels as good as it always has done so i use my freedoms pretty much for everything i even do some trail races and the freedoms of its a dry deer because the grips just tremendous the. Grip is so good and the crystal rubber soul is it’s so durable as well so I’ve. Run 800 miles in my last pair of freedom. Ones and to be honest that could keep. Going i could keep running in them I’m just conscious of the fact that my mileage is. Quite high and a lot of the time my minimum runs for the week are ten miles and when you’ve put this all through 800. Miles is it wise to keep pushing it and pushing it and pushing it I’ve kept them. Because if I’m doing shake out runs or. Anything before race is where i think I’m just going to go out and do three miles to a few strides the day before a big wrist I’ll probably just throw them on because like i say the feel absolutely fine I’m just conscious of the fact that i don’t want to push the boundaries too far and potentially end up injuring myself where. There that’s champions or car problems. Or whatever it may be i find out in the past four different shoes so I’m just conscious of that well that. Quite comfortably go on and running those something in the freedom tubes. Are gonna be exactly the same i think it’ll be good for at least 600 miles so. You get your money’s worth and talking. Of money’s worth as well the if you look in the shops at the moment certainly in the uk you can pick them up for between 70 and 80 pound which is obviously a massive reduction in our rp which initially was a 140 i believe when the. Freedom one’s came out which when i first. Bought that i was like wow this is a really expensive shoe and am i going to. We buy and if i want to get four or five hundred miles out of these realistically am i gonna know if l do afford to. Constantly keep switching and yeah so. That was a consideration but i do so many miles that in reality for me the cheaper that actually buy in a different. Shoe with a lower rp because i just do so many miles out of them that. Price tag wasn’t really an issue and then over the last soviet months the price has really come down so you can pick up the ones now I’ve got a few pairs for 66 pounds and you can even. Pick up some of the sort of less than. Favorable colors in the twos for about. 75 pounds now in the uk start fitness. Online they’ve got a choice of the ones on the twos for anywhere between 70 and. Well the goal that we have is with all the colors all the way up to like 125 i think it is at the moment but you can pick up a pair of white which is the ones that I’ve got as you know we’ve seen em for 73 pounds i think up here 73. 75 something like that see ya you can pick them up at a. Reasonable price and like i said it’s your opinion of them the feel of the. You are personally run in them for track. 5k trail races all the way at the marathon so i did 24 miles a day and a. Brand new pair of shoes which had only done 12 miles and that was yesterday and. They felt absolutely great so come on company about that so all in all i would. Say it’s definitely a buy for me and i. Will continue to buy freedoms at the. Moment I’m not overly fussed with this the ones are the twos so if I’m gonna. Pick up the ones cheaper sick i pick up the ones for 70 pounds and the twos with 80 or 90 I’ll pick up the ones purely and simply just because i will throw so many shoes at the minute that am it just makes sense for me to buy the ones but if the same price i. Will just go ahead and buy the twos the. Only noticeable thing the only real. Complaint I’ve got for the freedom ones. Is if you’ve run in the wet in your shoe. Gets soaked the insole slides around all. Over and i mean slides around all over to the point where you are running in. See you at the track your insole is sliding across your shoe and you can feel your foot moving across to the sidewall of the shoe which is not great. I did a i did a bit of reiki and the. Lakes on a wet day when i run about 20. Miles it wasn’t anything fast but it was a really wet day so there was a lot of sorts of running through puddles and. Really wet trails and the chute the. Insole was just a nightmare so i ended. Up basically the insult. Crumbled and moved right forward so my. Heel didn’t have actually had an insole it’s a for me that’s its not the oh. Breaker by any means but it’s just a pain like i say I’ve had a track as well where it’s a really wet day and it’s puddles on the track and when you’re doin laughs and you go through the pull time after time eventually soaks through and then your foots just. Sliding all over the place which is not great I’m sure if you’ve got like orthotic insole if you need those. Or if you just buy different insoles in. General anyway that’s probably not an issue because I’m sure you can get insoles i have got maybe like a rubber. Sort of base so there’s so there’s a lot more friction there so that the door move around as much but like i say I’ve. In freedoms alone I’ve probably done. Five or six thousand miles since up all. The ones so yeah i haven’t really got. Any complaints because twice I’ve had issues with the insoles sliding around like i say was when my shoes were soaked. Through socks was soaked through that. Was the only real time I’ve been either one I’ve been outrunning them when they do. Get wet and an absolutely fine i think it is just when it gets soft right through but yeah i definitely recommend. Then and in the minute when you can pick. Then up with 70-pound it’s its a complete no-brainer they’re all are cheap weather and like the boost variance from a ddos and. Then of course you’ve got all the night the different shoes from night which you could pick someone’s at bottom prices but not with the same technology so yeah. For me it’s a no-brainer i definitely. Recommend it like i say I’m not affiliated but if you gold chain office star fitness that tends to be where i pick my shoes are from a Louisville shop undergo an online presence so it’s a no. Brainer for me really support local business so I’ll see you guys in the next one.

Hey everybody today we’re going to do a. Review up on my sake freedom is souls, and we’re gonna talk about how they’re gonna help you get your daily miles in and how they’re gonna feel when you’re running We’re gonna start up in the tool box up here and talk about like how it fits around your toes one thing i noticed. When i was running up yesterday they feel like kind of like tight up here they grip your toes really good so you gotta kind of have to wear like thinner. Socks and not not as thick and stuff and. There’s a nice like water-resistant like. Front area like make sure you can keep. As dry as possible, and then we’re gonna go to the outside here and you got your sake logo and as you can notice it has. The ever run foam or on the whole entire. Bottom to get you the more spring in your step and then up top this shoe. Lacing it’s kind of like confusing. And stuff to like tighten them because it’s not you know they sure like which ones i pull on and stuff but it grips foot really well it’s just kind of hard to tighten them up, but they’re really. Good and then here on the back they have. This support frame to like make sure it. Clips your heel very good and then you. Have a lot of foam inside and to like make sure it’s hugging your ankle. Really good and then on the inside you. Have the stocking logo again and i like. The blue of it and it looks like really. Good and everything and then on the. Inside the tongue it’s like all. Connected so it like gives you more. More of like a honey feeling so it’s. Connecting to your foot better and you feel like you’re you’re like secure in the shoe and then here on the bottom. It’s really durable because it’s like i. Can hardly tell that i warm at all. Yesterday i did like three four mile run i think yesterday, and they felt amazing. But you can’t even like hardly tell i ran and I’m except for like the black because i was on a track and stove and. It really great shoe for the stuff. I did yesterday i did a two-mile race. And it they really helped so I’m gonna. Be using these shoes for mostly days of. Like when we’re doing like faster paced stuff like when we’re doing like 402 hundreds maybe even like six. Hundreds or something on the track and I’m gonna be like these are gonna be my. Fascist because i have like my nike Pegasus 34 is those are gonna be for. Like my high mileage days and stuff and I’m mostly gonna be using these things. On faster days because when i warm yesterday for like three four miles like. Three five three four or five miles that i did they felt amazing on like the fast. Stuff like I’m really excited to use them for that and these are going to be. Some great shoes for the speed stuff and super excited to be using them so that’s. My review on the sake freedom is oh everyone’s and I’m going to be I’m super.

What’s up guys matt ross fresno’s calm today we’re checking out the under armour horizon rtt trail running shoes. These guys right here you guys been asking for some trail running shoe reviews we’re finally getting around to it and this one’s pretty cool under armour launched the horizon trail rain line of shoes earlier this year which i believe is comprised of four different skus, and they also recently announced a mountain running series which is just a bunch of two day trail events that they’re hosting around the country, so they’re making the big push in a trail running and just the outdoor market in general, so we thought we’d run through what we like what we don’t like about the rt ts which seems to be the model that under armour’s just been marketing the most it’s its the flagship product in the line so let’s get to the video Okay so first up as usual let’s talk. Price the rt t’s come in at a hundred and ten dollars so yes expensive, but we have seen more expensive trail running shoes out there in fact there are a couple of other models in the horizon lineup that come in above that 110 dollar price point either way if you’re in the market for trained shoes I’d recommend checking out our website rizzo’s comm the link is right here on the screen or just open up a new tab check it out for yourself we all the time are posting awesome deals on trail running shoes from all the big brands chances are we’re going to save you some money okay so let’s get into what we like about these shoes the first being their overall comfort level for shoes that are supposed to be tough that are going to get beat up a lot these shoes are pretty darn comfortable the charge cushioning and evi a mid sole. Definitely do their job i was pleasantly surprised with the overall comfort they’re super durable I’m definitely not worried about these breaking down at all the upper is made of a tough synthetic material it’s still pretty pliable you can just tell from the first touch it can take a beating it’s also got a pretty decent bumper that will help protect the front of the shoe issues also have great tread and traction the bottoms are comprised of five and a half millimeter lugs very sticky they. Can easily handle all kinds of different terrains however the layout of the lugs is not multi-directional so these aren’t the most conducive for trails that require a lot of lateral movements which leads me into a couple other items that i think could be improved on these shoes the biggest negatives for me had to be the setup around the heel i don’t know what it was but the heel just kept slipping in and out i know you’re probably saying matt you’re a moron you probably got the wrong size i can assure you i did not my. Toes pretty much darn near touch the front of the shoe and i even had four different people check just to make sure as well lock down could also be a little better it just it’s just not as good as i was hoping for it seemed like every five to 10 minutes i was stopping to adjust the tongue and then reese inch the laces to get that nice lock down feel. So the heel issue coupled with the so-so lock down just not a good combo for me as. You can see here on the screen ended with a twisted ankle and a few laughs and jess other items you probably want to know the archie t’s come in and around twelve ounces so not terribly. Light they do have a seven millimeter drop, and they do fit true to size and the last thing I’d mention here is that they’re a little stiff out of the box it takes couple runs for you to break them in and even then there’s still kind of fairly. Stiff compared to other trail runners and that’s it for this review i don’t know as you guys can probably tell I’m just kind of lukewarm on these shoes if they definitely have some positives but just i wish the heel la khan was a little bit better I’ll probably just end up using these kinder of general hiking shoes moving forward but hey i want to hear from you guys comment down below make sure you subscribe see you guys next time what’s up guys he painted paint ring in.

This is the ultra running men’s lone peak. 4.0 low rsm trail running shoe it’s an. All conditioned version of the award-winning lone peak with vamped up protection against rain snow and mud as. With all ultra models the shoe has a zero drop platform unlike most running. Shoes which have a higher heel and a forward can’t the height of the heel and the forefoot of ultra shoes are identical this is intended too basically. Provide your feet with a neutral platform that allows them to perform at. Their best this can take some getting used to so if you’re trying 0 drops for. The first time be conservative with initial mileage until your feet have adjusted the shoes foot shape cut is. Also unique to ultra our feet tend to be. At their widest just before the toes and this design provides room for toes display and react to the terrain beneath. Then that wide toe box has always been music to my ears waterproof event fabric. In the shoes upper does a fantastic job of keeping feet dry while still providing breath ability to keep you from overheating and sweating on the inside. Overlays in places that are prone to abrasion and wear increase the shoes. Durability the design of the tongue. Helps to keep out debris you can add. Additional debris and weather protection by using ultra gaiters they are sold. Separately but they connect easily to the shoes thanks to the system of gator trap attachment points relative to other. Options i consider the shoe moderately cushioned. It’s evie a missile strikes a nice balance between comfort and weight another nice feature is the shoes integrated stone guard which offers additional underfoot protection against. Sharp rocks roots and inconsistent terrain the rubber outsole uses multi. Directional lugs and has a tacky surface that provides great traction on trail or off a great option for wet weather and. Challenging conditions it’s the ultra running men’s lone peak 4.0 low rsm call. Us with your questions or visit our store at back triage comm subscribe to stay tuned and.

This is the ultra running men’s lone peak. 4.0 I’ve always been a huge fan of ultra. And the lone peak has been a go-to for me on everything from short daily trail runs to ultras it’s a great balance of. Cushioning and traction the shoe has a. Couple of design features that are consistent throughout the ultra line it’s important to know that ultra shoes. Use a zero drop platform which means that the height of the heel and the forefoot are the same most running shoes have a higher heel than the forefoot but. Ultra feels strongly that zero drop allows your foot to function exactly as it’s designed if you’ve never worn low drop shoes you may want to ease in. Mileage until you get used to it the. Foot shaped toe box is flared so your big toe isn’t pinched and your other toes have room to spread out even though. I have relatively narrow feet i very much appreciate that extra space up front where my feet are definitely at their widest the (upper) of the shoe is a quick-drying breathable mesh and these. Overlays increased durability in high wear areas the integrated tongue is. Designed to keep debris out of the shoe and cushion the top of your foot if you. Have ultra gaiters they’ll pair perfectly with the shoes thanks to the integrated gator trap attachment system. The shoes evie a mid sole delivers what i. Would consider moderate cushioning that is a big step up from minimalist shoes but it isn’t as bulky as some more highly cushioned options an internal. Stone guard is shaped to mirror the structure of your foot and take some of the pain out of running on really rocky or route covered trails a trail claw. Outsold uses a tacky rubber and a lug. Pattern that provides confident traction on a wide variety of surfaces a real. Do-it-all trail running shoe it’s the. Ultra running men’s lone peak 4.0 call.

This is the men’s la sportive wildcat 2. Point 0 gtx trail running shoe it’s a full-featured shoe that will handle everything from running on muddy trails to scrambling on 4th class terrain the. Breathable gore-tex lining gives you the snug fit and waterproof protection as a. Really well cushioned mid sole to take the sting out of rocky terrain for fast hiking mountain running an all-around tough terrain I’d go with the wildcat gtx. You.

These are the la sportive wildcat threes. This is my second pair i currently sap. Out on the pacific crest trail and I’m at about mile 50 or so these. Particular shoes i picked up in reno and. I wore from it would be the donner. Summit all the way down to here and will. Wear them the rest of the 50 miles the end of the trail not exactly sure how. Much that is but it’s its about 1,200. Miles which is pretty damn good for a. Pair of shoes on episode crest. Trail these are my second pair as i. Mentioned the first pair i got ash land. In Oregon and then i wore them all the. Way up to the canadian border and that’s. Approximately when it’s about 900 miles. Close to a thousand miles on those shoes. About a hundred miles before the end. Before get, it to the canadian border on those shoes they ripped right in here at. Least i don’t know i forget which shoe but one of the shoes ripped right in here and split and i was able to go. Ahead and glue it back together with. Aqua co which is my favorite glue and. It’s much better than shoe goo or anything else I’ve ever found this stuff they say hardcore poly urethane rubber. And it adheres to just about everything. And so i was able to save those shoes at. Least were the last 100 miles I’ve put a piece of tape on the inside and ran a. Bunch of aqua seal and it’s seem. To hold up fortunately on these shoes as. Soon as i got them i took a fresh to. Bevacqua sealed and i sealed all the way. Around here you can probably see. Possibly see it and then on the other side i see it all. The way around in there and another. Think that the other shoe did is that you can see that this is kind of mesh on the outside there’s actually an inner fabric now that is separate from the. Mash which i think is actual structural. Upper fabric yeah but the mesha rips. Away and looks kind of unsightly and flaps around everything else so i sealed. All this i also sealed it on the inside on the seams and i believe that’s the. Reason that these shoes are holding up so well certainly an extra 2 300 miles. More than the previous ones recently the. Upper started separating so i put a little more go here and on the other. Side other shoe as well i likey shoes. They’re good they have a nice soft feel. When you first gave him them that’s pretty much because the insole is pretty cushy it’s not very thick but pretty cushy the insole doesn’t have any arch. Support to speak oh but i come to find that i really don’t need it and i do. Like the cushy insole so i would. Certainly recommend these shoes to any. Thru-hikers one of the issues or one of. The things that i don’t like about these. Shoes is that right over here you can. See the tongue there is no membrane. Between the tongue and the upper to keep. Stuff that is sand and gravel from. Accumulating here and then working its way into the inside of the shoe and. That’s not that hasn’t been so much of a problem in the sierras or in the north. Cascades or anything of that nature but you did become a problem in the desert down here where we rinse and all the. Time i actually took some aqua seal and i. Glued the tongue to the upper about this. Distance this distance and in that solve. The problem altogether yet on this one. Side on over here on both shoes it gets. Ripped off so the glue didn’t. Hold i don’t think i use enough glue and since I’m so close to the border I’m not going to mess with it not about the seagull anyway the prior shoes i had to. These were the brooks cascadia last year. I had a brooks cascadia ears which are a. Great shoe and those guys went they went. About a thousand miles also and then i. Replaced them with brooks cascadian nines which were pretty good shoe but. We’re starting to rip on the uppers. Right in sort of fold which is. Commonplace problem with the nines and i. Listens i saw that happening at pasovic osiel on that and that’s all that problem and the nines also went about a thousand miles and then i was going to. Get another pair of cascading i I’ll try. To get a pair of cascaded nines but i could find any and all that were available were the current cascadia tens. Whichever bad reputation for the upper. Souls ripping in fact i have a video now. The video showing a buddy of mine stands and it just ripped all the way across. Here it’s just ridiculous can bend this. Think and just see his feet and everything else we were able to go ahead so those back together with dental floss. And then put aqua seal over the seam and. They actually went another couple hundred miles until he was able to go ahead and get another pair of shoes but. I decided not to go with the tens because of that idiocy i don’t know what. Brooks is doing their just digging themselves a big asshole. Hope they listen to this video and do something about it you’re ruining the reputation I’m not going to go back to them I’m quite happy to wildcat threes the wildcat 3 es a little wider toe box. Than the wildcat tues the twos were just. Too narrow for me so i couldn’t use them i was real happy in ash land when i tried. Out for three years and discovered that they actually felt pretty darn good it’s. All in all I’m pretty pleased with these things this cosmetic mesh here you can. Kind of see the la sportive that shows. Through the mesh it’s kind of sort of. A fancy little thing and this mesh ripping and peeling off early kind of. Sucks i think that they could do something about that and i certainly think that they could do something about keeping it from ripping right here like. The other ones did but all in all nine. Nine hundred to 1,300 miles on a pair of. Trail runners he is pretty good you can. See that the souls on these things are pretty well shot he’s still holding up. Fine i mean they’re not wearing through but the little nabis that give you some nice grip on the rocks and things are. Pretty well all gone but it looks like. They’re going to hold up till the end of the trail thank you la sportive.

The guys anthony here doing a review today on a new trail running shoe that i. Bought called la sportive they are from. Italy and I’ve worn them around in a. Recent trip up into washington dc so i. Wore them walking around washington dc for a couple days this morning was the first time i actually went running with. Then they seemed to be holding up pretty well they’re comfortable they have a. Good airflow through them and they’re. Fit very well to my foot and so i just. Want to read you a couple of specs on this shoe again the brand is uh la. Sportive this model is called the. Wildcat they’re lightweight and will. Weigh them in a minute it’s in the mountain running category so a mountain running trail running things of that. Nature it has perforated net fabric in the. Upper and I’ll give you some close-up views of it after i go over some of the features it’s got a wide fit for maximum. Comfort it’s built in gator protects. Against stones and mud the boot features. A tpu stabilizing heel so it’s got a. Stabilizing heel and a friction sole. With impact brake system for enhanced. Grip and shock absorption on difficult terrain this model comes in four colors. It comes in black and green black and. Yellow which in are both men’s colors. Men’s colors it comes in white and plum. And white and mint for women this color. Here in the video is my color is a black. And green i bought these online at a website. Called rei they’re now camping and hiking and just a great website. Rei comm i had a gift card from them for. 50 dollars and i went online i was in. The market for some running shoes and so. These were on sale i believe for nine $9.00 so i applied my $50 coupon and i. Purchased these a few weeks ago the. Jury’s still out on how long they’ll last and all that I’ll get back if. There’s anything goes wrong with them or anything that i don’t like I’ll I’ll. Update you guys but right now they seem. To be working fine they weigh 14 and 5. Just under 15 ounces per shoe just. Under 15 ounces per shoe the advertisement and their brochure says. There’re 690 grams per pair here’s a. Couple close-up shots of the shoe okay. You can see it’s got the nice thick sole. It’s got a nice front support here and. Protection here for your toes if you’re running over rocks or trails and again. It’s a mountain running shoe I’m down. Here in south florida i like a rugged shoe but yet a lightweight shoe and a. Shoe that can breathe and let some air in and this shoe does an excellent job on letting air through these little perforated holes and your feet stay nice. And cool that’s one of the things i was looking for i did a little reading on. The on the website on the company. They’ve been around for a long time and again you can go on the la sportive website and take a look but all in all. They are holding up pretty good and I’m. Happy with them so far and i figured I’d let you guys know there’s a couple other. There are a couple of other shoes I’m. Going to review in a woman’s category. But my wifeís has been just purchased. And it’s testing out and i plan on doing a video on those as well but this is the. Quick review on the la sportive wildcat. Purchased on rei dot-com the only thing. I might want to add to this video is. I normally take a size 12 and i have to. Send these shoes back twice as they come. In to european sizes you know they run like 46.5 47 you know the european. Numbers and i ended up taking i think a. Forty seven and a half which is. Equivalent to like a thirteen and a half which is a size and a half bigger than i. Usually take so keep that in mind for. The guys when you buy them you probably. Have to go up a size at least than your normal american numbers other than at. The there they fit well and they seem to. Be sturdy and rugged and I’ll get back. To you with another update thanks for. Watching keep your emails coming we thank you for your support.

La sportive men’s wildcat 2.0 gtx trail. Running shoe gtx if you were wondering. Stands for gore-tex or waterproofing but. With the breath ability of gore-tex best use travel shale running off-road on to. Specifications size and weight depend on. Shoe size but it is listed as 2.3 pounds shipping weight compare this with chuck. Taylor high-tops at 3 pounds foreman function has a sturdy base kind. Of a hybrid between a regular running shoe and a hiking boot some stiffness to. Bear the brunt of sharp rocks and is able to balance on edges but not quite as stiff as a boot additional features. La sportive uses a color code system to. Distinguish between the stickiness versus durability of their different shoe rubber with more stickiness being a trade-off for less durability and vice. Versa the blue friction rubber is a good. Compromise between stickiness needed for trail running but also durability needed for well trail running gore-tex shell. That sheds water and snow yet breathes well compared with the la. Sportive primer low gtx men’s hiking. Sneaker shoe which had a much softer tread and support i also compared with. Rock climbing and approach shoes in my collection and while these do not have. The supreme stickiness of a true approach shoe or a climbing shoe i was. Able to traverse fourth class terrain with confidence likeability it’s a. Compromise shoe it’s not as grippy as a typical approach shoe used for third and fourth class scrambling yet softer than a hard hiking boot it’s meant for trail. Running but anything offered it will do journeyman duty while still having hard enough rubber to last on city streets the typical travel traveler will. Encounter nine percent of the time so like all compromises he probably won’t. Love it completely for one single thing but you will grab for it as a default shoe able to deal well with several environments from both wet and rocky to. Flatten dry.

What’s going on guys it’s joel here with this many reviews as possible and today we’re doing the review of the ultra hit xt alright so this is probably the most. Anticipated true review that i never even thought i would be doing the ultra hit x t’s kind of came out of nowhere and took pretty much everybody by surprise so I’ll choose a smaller brand, but they have a really big cult following in the running world their shoes always have a zero drop and a wide. Toe box that they call the foot shape toe box so now let’s go over a few of. The things that make the hit x t’s what they are starting with the upper as you. Can see the x t’s are unmistakable and. That could be in a bad way or a good way. Depending on whom you are I’ve heard it from both sides people think these are good-looking shoes and people think that they are ugly shoes I’m gonna have to. Say that they’re not the greatest-looking shoes in my eyes but. You know beauty’s an eye of the beholder if you like the way that they look then go for them otherwise the upper and the. Hit x t’s is a mesh upper that has. Pretty much one-piece construction throughout the whole q until you get to. The back where there’s just a little bit of stitching there are pu overlays. All over the upper there’s a hardened. Toe cap in the instep of the shoe there is also a guard for rope climbs inside. Of the heel part there is a heel counter. It’s really tough back there the ankle. Collar has a ton of cushioning so if you. Like to have cushioning back there or you have problems with having skinny ankles the hit x t’s will definitely fit. Your foot pretty well the tongue is nice. And padded i really like the tongue i don’t really like anemic tongues the lacing system nothing special the laces. Do come untied I’m not a huge fan of the. Laces and i think that the laces that are. Supplied are a little bit too long as well the insole of the shoe is 5 millimeters the total stack height with. The insole is 24 millimeters without the. Insole it is 18 millimeters for some reason and you can definitely use it. Without the insole there is a turn in stitching so that it is comfortable to. Wear without the insole but there’s. Going to be a lot of room inside of the shoe if you take the insole out so i just have to warn you there that unless. You have a wide foot or a fat foot that you should probably just keep the insole in so of course like all ultra shoes the hip xts have a zero drop platform which. Means that there is no height differential from the heel to the toe of the shoe there’s also the foot shape toe. Box which gives the pit xts a really. Really wide platform when i think zero drop shoes for some reason i think minimal issues which the hit x t’s are definitely not there’s a lot of books to. The shoe once again very wide platform. Overall there’s a lot of cushioning in. The ankle collar and the shoes are a. Little bit tall so if you’re looking for a minimalist shoe the ultra hip x these. Probably are not gonna be what you’re looking for now when it comes to sizing your hit x t’s i felt that these shoes. Run small so i would go ahead and size. Up half a size from your normal training. Shoe size so typically i wear size 10 for the ultra hit xts i wear a size 10. And a half i also have a pretty normally shaped foot and inside the shoe i did not feel that they were overly wide or anything they felt okay to me but if you have a really narrow foot i would probably not recommend the hit xts so. The first day i got the hit x t’s i had a little bit of difficulty training with them i had just come off the review from the 195 s from in evades and those are much narrower shoes than these are running felt clunky and i was basically. Tripping over my own feet when it came to clean and jerks though when i hit my. Squats i finally felt the beauty of the hit x t’s in there really wide platform and extremely grippy outsole power. Delivery is excellent on the issues despite having such a tall mid sole stack but i didn’t. Notice a huge difference when i was using these with or without the insoles so once again i would still recommend that you just cut the insoles in now the more and more i use the hit x t’s i got was more accustomed to the wide platform and i started to really like. Training in these shoes these are excellent olympic weightlifting shoes i. Personally like to work with a zero drop shoe and just having that and the wide. Platform of the shoe i felt extremely. Confident in my lifts landings were extremely stable power delivery was very. Very good in the hit x t’s as well so. While i still think distance running in the hit x t’s is a little bit clunky due. To the sheer size and weight of the shoe. I think that the width of the shoe allows for a really powerful stride i did some 100 meter sprints in. The hit x t’s and i ended up around 15. Seconds every time which was pretty good I’m not the greatest of runners but I’ll. Take that as a win now another thing that really helps out the running performance of the hit x t’s is despite the way that they look they’re actually really flexible shoes so despite. The hit x teens being really flexible shoes the area that i think they struggle at the most is going to be your cliometric movements or anything that requires you to be a little bit more agile on your feet doing bur pees in the hit x t’s is really uncomfortable not. Only due to the size and weight of the. Shoe but also because the toe cap is. Unnecessarily stiff so when you get up you hit your toes into the front of the shoe it’s really uncomfortable though these shoes are also very responsive shoes box jump rebounding is kind of chore too they just feel a little bit heavy and clunky on your feet double unders are actually okay due to the flexibility of the shoe but once again the toe box is kind of stiff and. If you’re running your toes into the shoe it is kind of annoying now the hit x t’s get a lot of things. Right but the best part about the issues is the fact that they only cost $100. Which puts them in the lower echelon of training shoes the only other ones that are in the same category are going to be. The speed tr 2.0 the jj twos and the nike met con dsx. Rappers personally i think the only one that contends with the fedex t’s is. Going to be the speed tr to pointy nose now if you’re gonna choose between those two shoes i think it really just comes down to your foot shape if you have a wider foot then you’re probably gonna. Want to go with the hit x t’s but if you have a narrower foot then you’re probably gonna want to go with the speed trs as far as i know the hit x t’s are ultras very first training shoe and i have to say that they are a very impressive first effort they’re not. Without their faults but no shoe is so if you don’t mind the way that they look or you just don’t care you’re looking for a high-performing training shoe that. Only costs $100 then definitely check. Out the hit x keys make sure you go up how to size though if you guys have any questions about these shoes feel free to leave them in the comment section and as always guys please hit that like button subscribe and thanks for watching.
