Reebok Nano U-Form Parkour shoe

Today we are taking a look  at the Reebok crossfit nano U-From trainer . This shoe is a lightweight trainer designed specifically for crossfit athletes to run , jump, climb an lift heavy things while wearing a single pair of shoes. the first thing that stood out to me on this shoe is really wide toe-box. This was used to allow a natural, almost barefoot  feel inside the shoe.

 it allows to spread your toes and really dig into the shoe.
Next, the tongue of the shoe is thin and it's the perfect length. it doesn't slid back into the shoe like some other brands do and it isn't  big and puffy and aggravating .

The opening of the shoe is cut nice and low and allows plenty of ankle mobility without rubbing or hitting the actual ankle bone itself. but the shoe strings, as can you tell are a little bit short. This was a little bit of a nuisance- I'd rather them be too long and i need to double not them than they be to short and have to re-tie them.
the to cap of the shoe is adorned with Reeboks' "Dura-Grip" coating, which feels all most like a thin layer of liquid cement on the end of the shoe.This will certainly come in handy for many Crossfit exercises and should prevent premature degradation of the shoe around the toe area .

  The  rest of the shoe is a very durable. let's' made of a breathable material, this flesh here and you can find all over the shoe  and speaking of climbing rope, turn your attention the inner arch of the shoe here. What you will see are these knobby sections and this is designed to allow you to easier grip the rope.

 Less slipping means less wasted energy, and faster times! the sole of the shoes is fairly stiff and should be quite durable under normal use. The grip is excellent on dry surfaces but can get a little sloppy on wet surfaces . Because of the stiff sole design and grip design, these are recommended for trail parkour . and  this shoe is to good for parkour. And is proven that is parkour shoes.

parkour shoe (Shoe review 1)

#-Nike lmpax : 

hey everyone, this is nathaniel from TCPK. and today I'm just going to reviewing some shoes, basically since the time that l started doing parkour to now. pros, cons, what you should look for when you're getting your shoe. stuff like that. So let's just get started.
So, this basically the first pair of shoe that got specifically for parkour not the best to be honest, for what I was looking for not the best .As you can see, these things are not very flexible you've got to try pretty hard to get those ... in therms of latera flexibility, there's basically none. they're heavy; sure they absorb impact but that encourages bad from anyway . So really ,all in all

not the Best shoe for parkour,  if were looking for a cross-trainer or something like that. Something heavy so that you can you know then this is fine , but for parkour, no and forerunning, don't even go there,

 

#-Puma :

 there's actually another shoe that I had before I go these ones. But it's basically the same thing so it's not really a big deal. And I couldn't find them Alright so.
This shoe is good shoe, not a lot of padding in the back.
I don't know if you can see that; not a lot of padding.which is good, because I mean , you know, it's good you'd end up hurting your Keynes involuntarily Good shoe, the only problem I really had with them (other than the fact that they break pretty easy ) is that, as you can see on the bottom; up here where your foot would be, extends past the rubber on both sides. so  stability isn't quite there. So maybe if you land you're landing a little bit offside, there's more a chance of you rolling your foot.Good shoe though!

Best parkour shoe 2013 - Adidas Power Lift

Hey guys, today we're going to  take a look at the adidass power lift trainer shoe. Best parkour shoes for me this shoe is a budget friendly weightlifting shoe targeyed more towards beginner to  intermdiate weightlifting .

the first feature i want to cover is the heel on this shoe as it has been the topic of discussion since the shoe was released in 2011. the heel is made of EVA- A pplymer that is often used  in shoes for its durability, crack resistance and waterproof properties most EVA soles are soft, however the heel of the power trainer is pretty dense. My guesss is it is made from a mixture of EVA and resin as you  can see, give toward the edges but when you move to the center of  the shoes, where there is more mass, you cannot compress the heel. well, at least not with your fingers.

 so  to answer all the questions about whether or not the heel is too soft for lifting, the answer is no - to a certain dgeree. Certainly if you are squatting or dead lifting more tnah 400LBS, you may need invest in a more seious shoe . And if you have a tendensy to rock onto the outer edges of the shoe instead of standing flat, you'll feel somme compression in the hell . So take that into account before you make a decision on these. One last thibg to note aboute the bottom of the shoes is the sole has a very good grip and also shares the old ironwork 3 design. this means the shoes will modt likely fit the same way the Ironwork .

Moving on to the evterior of the shoe, you have your basic synthetic leather upper with a single hook and loop strap. this model is the Adidas radiant gold and white color, and is more of neon Orange which actually looks better in real life than it did in the photos. The interior of the shoe has a fairly stiff insert and a noticeable heel cup.the Toe box is a little narrow, which is typical of adidass parkour shoes. the shoe is also very stiff at the toe and has a tendency to pinch if you cam up on the ball of your foot. I also found the mid-arch to be very marrow so if you have low arches this shoe may be a bit uncomfortable to wear.

 the one complaint I do have about the shoes is that the laces are way to long finally, I don't recommend these shoe for Olympic weight lifting for tow simple reasons. one - they are too stiff in the forefoot section and Two - the heel is unsuitable for a lot
of foot movemnet.  these shoes are designed for your bassic squat,  dead lift, bench and pressing movvements and that's what they should be usd for . for Adidas intended thes to be    used for Olympic lifting they would have called them the Adidas  OlynTrainers, not power lift. and that way i like play parkour with this shoe  that's about it for this review.
