I have been using these shoes for about 2 weeks now and I can say they are not my favorite. There is a great heel rise on them that would work amazingly for persons with a subpar squat. However, they do feel a little funny as if my feet are rolling inward. I would not recomend this to someone with good form and an avid CrossFitter. The toe area is starting to tear already as well as the side are coming apart. I would expect a company like Inov-8 to have a better quality shoe no matter the price. I would not recomend this product for anyone who works out more than three times a week.
