I had the x1 and I HATED them. Ordered these in half a size down as per recommendation on the website for women and I’m in LOVE. The changes they made was perfect. They changed everything I hated. I agree they do slightly stretch out after one use and they fit perfect!
at the reebok outlet, they nano x2 and nano 6000 were flashsale for $79.99 in a bunch of color ways. and was able to try on x1 vs x2, and the X2 definitely more comfortable. They don't make Speed TR anymore, so was looking for a new shoe to cover gym time. The nanoflex v2 was $40, but didn't feel as comfortable as the Nano X2. I also had every JJ Watt edition, and still liked Speed TRs better. Nano seems to be Reebok's fitness and training shoe. I have one of their floatride for running. Won't lie, I was sitting in the store reading the reviews and videos of X2 and 6000. lol
Great review! The X2 length change really helped me. I can finally go true to size, where in the X1 I either had an 11.5 where my toes hit the end, or a 12 where I had heel slip. I feel like the X2 cushion is more dense than the X1, but could just be because I haven’t broken them in yet. The decreased toe spring is immediately evident and super helpful! And unfortunately, Nike Metcons just aren’t an option for me - too narrow! Maybe someday Nike will come out with a Wide option (never). X2 are definitely my favorite shoe as of right now!!
How thick are the soles when you take the insoles out? I have custom insoles and I am looking for a shoe that still has a thicker sole without insoles.
Should I go half a size down as per US size? I normally wear US 11 which is EU 45 but in the Nano for some reason US 11 is EU 44.5. So I just got those and now my shoe definitely feels loose.
Even though there was a visible difference in toe spring height from your X1 to X2, it's interesting that Reebok told you that they didn't change anything with the midsole. 🤔
@@AMRAP after wearing my pair of x2s for a few days, I can tell that they definitely have less of a drop than the x1 which is 100× better IMO. Spot on with your review! Makes me want a pair of X1 Fronings now..
sup! i’ve been using the nano x for a while now (size 7 in those). Considering sizing down as both you and reebok's page recommends for the nano x2, however they dont come on a 6.5 yet :(
Great video. I had to return mine. Just not as comfortable on my feet after a workout. It was a HIIT and I couldn’t wait to take them off. Are you by chance going to review the new Nike Men's React Metcon Turbo 2?
Maybe a silly question but how thick in the sole when you take the insole out? I have custom insoles and my metcon6's barely have any sole when i take the insoles out which make them uncomfortable.
@@AMRAP Thanks for your reply! The metcon6's soles are so thin if you hold the shoe in the light it'll shine through. Meaning if I take the insoles out and replace it with my custom insoles I have next to nothing cushioning my feet causing my feet to literally get bruised and blue :o. Luckily it doesn't hurt (yet) but it should not be the case that I get bruised feet.. I ordered the Nano X2's. I've been doing some research and all shoes seem to have a thin sole when taking the insoles out 😭
@@AMRAP Update: i received my Nano's, ordered in 43 (10 in us size) (which is the size of my Metcons) and 42,5 (9,5 us size). I tried on the 43's first and they felt good, better then the metcons but I had a feeling my feet had just a tad too much wiggle room. Then I tried the 42,5's and damn they feel amazing!!! They "hug" my feet enough to stop them from having too much movement but don't feel constraining. I haven't had any training shoes feel this good on my feet in years! I would highly reconmend it for people with a bit wider feet and go a half size down of their normal size. I am going to train tonight and try them out! There will be a lot of front squats so I am curious how they'll go!
This is my first pair of Nano’s from Reebok. I wear a 9.5 in all my other shoes, so for the Nano X2 I just went with true to size. Should I have sized down? I am hearing conflicting opinions between reviews and what the Reebok website suggests.
I have not been working out long (approx 1yr). In fact, most of the exercises you speak of and perform in this video are completely unknown to me. I'm wondering if the X2 is a good shoe to invest in for when I start doing them (futureproofing) or if you would consider them overkill for my situation. If you have any suggestions for a more appropriate shoe, I'd greatly appreciate hearing them.
Congrats on your fitness journey starting! A lot of these movements you may never do unless you do CrossFit. Even still, the x2s are a great all around training shoe that can handle anything. I’d say their weakest spot are for deadlifts but if you don’t plan on going too heavy with them, it should be fine. Metcon 7 should be better for heavy lifting but not as good as a running/plyo shoe. Strike Mvmnt haze are somewhere in between nanos and metcons. UA Tribase 4 are also a great choice if you’re not limited in mobility.
@@AMRAP Thank you ever so much for your words of guidance. It seems that many videos forget about those of us students in Fitness 101 who take their training very seriously and see the gym as more than a recreational place to meet girls.
I recently grabbed a pair of speed TRs for $40. They’re ok for CrossFit, but I’ve really liked them for anything running. (Not relevant here, just saying) Great review!
I had the X1's... They shredded my achilles to pieces. Couldn't get on with them. I just got the Nike metcon turbo 2's. If they don't fit well, I'll try the X2's
@@chalos23 I got size 11 (UK)... I sent them back. Not enough padding around the ankle (achilles area was fine, the side ankle area is pretty hard, and I have big/boney ankles). I could tell after 1 gym session I would have problems. They're pretty flat - good for lifting. Toe box is good. Overall, just not for me
@@LeeJoRo thank you for your reply. Aside of the ankle part being an issue for you. The shoe overall as far being good for multi lateral movements, box jumps, broad jumps, etc. Would you say the cushioning is great?
@@chalos23 no probs. Cushioning is a bit weird. Fine at the front, hard at the back. Basically they're ok for sprints and skipping, I wouldn't run or jog with them. The inner sole has pretty good padding, but the outsoles are quite the opposite (heel is very hard, toe grip is like sticky rubber). I like the look of them, and I like the comfort of the regular metcon 7 (thought ide get these as they were new), they're very different from each other. I'm still using my ASICS kayano 27 Tokyo as my main shoe (not ideal for lifting but I'm doing ok with them). Still looking for a flatter shoe.
@@AMRAP you’re always stylish with the fits and you had to make sure everything stylish.. thanks for your response. Some dope plates but you’re right, they probably aren’t worth it
@@AMRAP will do brotha ! Thanks for all your amazing content. Always check your reviews first before I make any purchase. I got the metcon 7s a half size bigger per your video since I have wide feet and that was the right move.
Joel. You're the best reviewer of cross training shoes on RUclips IMO. I'm in love with my flite-235's v3. They're getting a bit worn though. Would the Nano X2's be a good buy? I wish inov8 would release an update but I haven't seen anything.
I think the X2's would be a great buy, though they're going to feel A LOT different than the 235v3's. Did you want something similar or were you okay with different?
@@AMRAP I love how light and breathable the inov8's are. I don't really lift heavy anymore so I'm looking for a shoe that can give me 225lbs squats, CrossFit movements, and comfy running for a few miles.
@@84jdgregory I think the X2 would be a good shoe for you if you don’t mind the fact that they’re not gonna feel as low to the ground. They’re light, great to run in and handle most weights just fine!
Joel. You were spot on about the height difference. They almost feel like an Oly shoe but softer. The heel clip is legit. Haven't worked out in them yet but can't wait to do some front squats in them.
@@AMRAP responding in under 5 minutes with that is exactly in line with what I suspected when I mentioned ego lifting. Keep doing what you're doing man, I'm sure it will end great.
2 rope climbs on a 20ft Rogue rope and the sole ripped. Rope pro? Nope. Rope oh no! Or Rope blow! Ridiculous for $135. Woke Reebok claims they climbed ropes with these. Thank you for confirming that Joel.
If you want stability go for 7 you can feel the stability issues in x2 as you go heavier also the shoes aren't as snug as the 7s. Good shoe but not at par with the 7s

Just bought these exact pair for $80 at an outlet mall!
Hello, thank you for the review, which is the best shoes for flat feet during weightlifting or gym workouts
How would you compare these to the Nano 9s? Are they worth the investment? Thanks for the great video!
The shoe review everyone is waiting for lol.
Hi I wear a size 8 for nano9, what size would u recommend for nano 12 (female version shoe)?
Are these guys for workouts that encorporate running at the end? (Eg. Orange theory)
Good review! Thanks 🙏
Will you recommend using these during Spartan Stadions?
How does Adidas Dropset compare to these? Should I get the Dropset for Half the price offer, or just wait for reebok restock
Can we wear them for outdoor walks, like on a dirt road?
Should I go half a size down as per US size? I normally wear US 11 which is EU 45 but in the Nano for some reason US 11 is EU 44.5. So I just got those and now my shoe definitely feels loose.
Is there going to be a Froning version of the 12?
Thanks Joel!
Great review, as always!
I am currently using the Xs. When it comes to sizing, would you say that they are similar to the Xs? Or should I size down?
You're more than likely going to need to size down from Nano X. .5-1 size depending on if you went up a half size from your normal shoe size.
Nice. I have metatarsal damage. Need cusion in the forefoot.
Nano x2 or Nike Zoom metcon turbo 2?
If you’ve sized the X1 true to size, would you suggest the X2 go true to size as well?
Thanks yet again for the in-depth review!
I would actually still go half down…but TTS should be alright
Even though there was a visible difference in toe spring height from your X1 to X2, it's interesting that Reebok told you that they didn't change anything with the midsole. 🤔
They adjusted the upper pattern to allow the toe to sit further down.

I’m wanting to make sure these fit well, what size are you in Nike? It’s the only brand I’ve worn for a trainer shoe. I’m size 11 in Nike men’s shoes.
I have same question 😅
If I have wide feet should I stay tts or size half down like they suggest
Stay tts
Would you say the nano X2 are a better overall trainer compared to the more expensive Nobull Trainer+?
They'd be better for conditioning and mono structural stuff but I'd take trainer plus to lift in. For 75 bucks, Nano x2 is the shoe to get though.
My Nano 9s have seen better days, but I really can't find a shoe that is as good as the 9. Would you say the X2 is a good replacement? Thx.
They don’t feel the same but I don’t miss my 9s when I use 12s so I think they would be good…and they fit comparably.
No, Nano 9 is still the GOAT.
