Maybe thicker socks could solve the issue, but throughout the cardio workouts, I had to stop multiple times to adjust the laces. If they were too loose, there was heel slippage. If I tied the laces too tight, they dug into my foot, along with the collar and the edges of the gusseted tongue. Locking my foot down, however, was a little bit of a challenge. They are a little bit narrow in the toe area, but not to the point of discomfort. The SuperRep 2 is relatively true to size by Nike standards. Making sure we know who made the shoe, Nike slapped a giant swoosh on the lateral side, and a smaller swoosh printed on the medial side. The medial side is a lined neoprene material.Īsymmetrical lacing is featured, with the lateral sides holding 4 loops of hidden nylon webbing and the medial with 4 ovular plastic eyelets. The lateral side of the shoe is a ribbed mesh material, that runs from the toe-cap area around to the heel, tapering at the arch of the foot. The upper is also kind of its own creature The forefoot is significantly thicker and more sculpted than the rest of the liner. Directly underfoot is a PU footbed, designed specifically for this model.

The FlyPlate I had previously mentioned runs from about mid-heel to the metatarsal heads, which is on the front end of the Zoom Air units. The heel piece is a beveled horseshoe-shaped slab of EVA, with a rubber outsole along the perimeter of the bottom of the shoe. In front of the Zoom units, there is a deep V-groove and a rubber toe-off outsole piece. In true Nike fashion, a translucent rubber outsole allows the wearer to see the cushioning technology from the bottom, as well as the sides. In the forefoot, there are two visible Zoom Air units, placed strategically underneath the ball of the foot, and mirrored on the lateral side. The forefoot and heel of the midsole and outsole are two different pieces, bridged together by what Nike calls a FlyPlate. In all of my years looking at any buying athletic shoes, I’ve seen very few that are as radical as the SuperRep 2. have wide feet ( see the list of wide training shoes)įirst off, the look.are looking for a weightlifting shoe (the Nike Romaleos 4 is a favorite among athletes).need a dedicated Crossfit shoe (in this case, consider a shoe from the Nike Metcon series).This performance-ready training shoe is recommended to fitness enthusiasts who love pushing their limits in fast-paced workouts.
