- Are the Nike Reax 8 TR good for lifting?
- They work for light to moderate lifting and machine work. The soft forefoot and flexible upper make them a poor choice for heavy squats or deadlifts, where a flat, stable shoe is better.
- Do they run true to size?
- Most buyers say they run true to length but narrow. If you have wide feet or wear thick socks, going up half a size is the safer call.
- Can I run in them?
- Short runs and treadmill sessions are fine thanks to the forefoot cushioning. They are not a running shoe, so avoid long distances.
- How do they compare with the Nike Metcon?
- The Metcon is heavier and much more stable for lifting, with a flatter, firmer base. The Reax 8 TR is lighter and more flexible, better for mixed cardio and casual wear but less planted under a barbell.
- Are they breathable?
- Yes. The mesh panels in the upper let air through better than leather training shoes, which helps in sweaty gym sessions.
- What are they best for?
- Cross training, gym classes, short runs and everyday wear. They are an all-round trainer rather than a specialist lifting or running shoe.
