The High-Top Trainers

I do most of my training in a gym, with weights and sweat, but I try to get to a CrossFit gym in town (CrossFit Fidei) occasionally for the amazing benefits that it brings to the table. I recently realized that you need to look into your shoe of choice depending on what you have planned that day.

The High-Top Trainers from No Bull are just that, as usual. We worked on Cleans, Front Squats, Box Jump Overs, Burpees, etc today and they out performed my usual go-to. I typically would wear Nike Cross-Trainers. These High-Tops have a lot more support for your ankle and they feel like they help you “spring” back when you’re in a squat. They landed well on the box as well as coming down from the Chest-to-Bars. I normally would get a 12.5 US but I went with a 13 US and they fit perfect.

The soles have awesome grip and I didn’t notice any slips today on the semi-wet rubber floor.

You might feel like they are too High to make for a good workout shoe and that they might limit movement but I didn’t notice any negatives about their height today.

Positives — Grip, Ankle Support, Fit, Range of Motion, Breathability and Quality Leather Construction.

Negatives — Leather Scuffs Easily, Price Point ($169US)
