Men's Tribase Reign Man Shoes

I bought these pair of trainers specifically for lifting weights in the gym. I didn't want a full blown weight lifting shoe, but needed a trainer with a stable base for deadlifts and squats.As they have a 2mm offset (meaning they are pretty flat from back to the front) they feel really stable, and I don't feel like my ankles will roll like they would with a running shoe.They have a pretty thin heel but I didn't experience any rubbing, and are overall very comfortable.I wear a 10.5 - 11 with most trainers and the 10.5 is spot on.

It's actually quite difficult to find relatively plain un-cushioned or lightly-cushioned shoes for the gym that don't cost the earth so was pleased to find these.I have standard UK fitting width feet (or medium as some call it) and these fit well except for the fact that their construction leaves a ridge/join that sits exactly where the the joint for the big toe meets the foot.Needless to say, although they feel fine on trying on, once worn for a while, especially at the gym, this seam/join causing no small amount of discomfort i.e. actual pain.Used for one hour at the gym and donated to my son who has slightly narrower feet.I'd recommend buyers to press the shoe firmly in the big toe joint area to see if they are affected before using the shoes.

After spending hours and hours reviewing varying functional fitness shoes I settled with these. At £45 (+ delivery) they were miles cheaper than any others. A few reviews by 'experts' commented on the narrow/too tight fit.Piffle. They're snug round the heel and tight if laced up worng across the mid-foot, but the toe box is so wide! Plenty of room for toe splay in heavier lifts.Now, I'm not one of these CrossFit super-humans. I'm a stronger than average chunky guy.So far I've deadlifted, walked very quickly, lifted too much over my head and squatted in these clogs and I'm impressed. I wouldn't walk too fast/too quickly in them, the near solid heel doesn't lend itself to such an act and ones ankles will suffer as a result.As for lifting, the near flat sole, wide toe-box and mega stable heel give mucha confianza!Impressed, very impressed indeed!

These shoes were purchased for cross-training and they hold up well for sessions of mixed training, I have found they are reasonably stable for lifting and yet can move quite well when performing other exercises (box jump/skipping etc). My only concern is in the construction the lace loop seems to be poorly attached by slim strips of flimsy material and not very well stitched, so not sure how this will impact on the shoes longevity.

Really sturdy trainer. Feel very planted and stable when lifting weights. They give good all round support. Little bit uncomfortable at the cuff of the heel at first (with trainer socks), but after about 10 wears they were fine. Would recommend them for gym wear.

Yes - I would say these shes are as good as Nike's Metcon although I would point out one thing - for the first few wears they are DESPERATELY uncomfortable! Very rigid. I would recommend walking to and from the gym in a pair of well broken in trainers, and slipping these on once you are there or you will have very sore heels!

Please be aware to return these trainers due to been to big .... You the customer !!! pays the return postage in this case £11 . No offer to change trainer for a smaller size ... Will not be ordering anything from this shop again ......

I have no previous experience of using training shoes so can't compare these to anything. However, I have no complains about them. they look great and they are quite comfortable and stable on the ground.
