I mostly do strongman style training over crossfit, and these are absolutely my favorite shoes since the Nano 5/6. I dont love them for max deadlifts or squats, but they're absolutely amazing if im doing any sort of carry, pressing, power cleans, stone loading, sled pulling, etc. And they're not bad for deadlift rep work.

Goated review Joel! Thanks very much for the full intricate review. Can't wait for them to be available in Europe! Btw, are they any similar to the rf1 ? I loved the sk8 feel of them, and no other shoe even came close.

Seems like a really solid shoe. I wonder if the "elite" version that has been spotted would be the more dynamic one for regular WODs. Not sure how they are gonna differentiate the two.

How do these compare to gorucks trainers? I’ve been using those over the last 5-6 months as my go to shoe… these have peaked my interest. But, I knew a lot of the issues people had with the 1s.

What are the best pair of shoes for atlas stone training?

Are these the cx 2 wides or the regular width shoes?

I hear your comments about running, I'm currently using the Metcon 8s, which are AWFUL for running. How would these compare to those?
