I promised to buy myself a pair of new shoes after I completed the Crossfit On-Ramp (intro). I looked for weeks at Nanos and Minimus. I looked at what people wore to class. I looked at my trainers' shoes. I read a bunch of articles about Crossfit shoes. I wanted something that fit better than my Chucks and Sambas. I was prepared to spend some money to treat myself and to get a pair of shoes that might improve my hard work. I found the perfect pair. added bonus is that everybody else isn't wearing them. They run about a half size too big. Just wore these to Crossfit. They were perfect for today's workout which included 200 & 400 meter runs, bench press, double unders (speed jump rope), and hanging knee raises. Honestly, I forgot about them while in class. That's good. These shoes perform. Like me. Big thumbs up. Perfect for Beast Mode.
