Comfortable
Pros:•Good for CrossFit or any other high impact workout that involves any sort of weightlifting.•Light and airy feel (it’s mostly mesh/woven material).•Just stretchy enough for wider feet.•Toe box is wide enough.•Stable enough for squats/deadlifts/cleans/etc.•Flexible enough for jump rope and running (though I wouldn’t choose to run long distances in them).Cons:•If you wear short socks, prepare to possibly get a few heel blisters. (I’m sure this isn’t an issue with longer socks or once they’re broken in).•I hesitate to list this as a con (because shoes that are stable enough for lifting tend to be flat), but if you are expecting super high arch support, you won’t find it with these shoes.Overall great workout shoes. So happy I found something I love as much as my Nano 8s.

Great shoe for working out, I’d size down!
First, I’m usually a size 7.5-8 when it comes to shoes because of my wide foot but with these the size 7 fit perfectly. They fit my wide foot great and the length was good also. They’re great for lifting, and they’re comfortable. When first wearing them/breaking them in, I do recommend wearing high crew socks because you will blister up on the back of your heels. Or at least I did, after a couple days wearing them you’re fine. Overall the shoe is great. I’d just size about .5-1 size down.

Great shoes for cross training
The shoes are great, look cute, fit well and very stable for hiit training. No foot pain at all. The only complaint is that the backs are stiff, takes some getting used to. They have gotten a little broken in so they’re not as stiff, I prefer long socks with these as to prevent rubbing.

Durable, stylish, & ready for any workout
I’m absolutely loving my Reebok Nano X1 shoes! Not only do they look amazing with this color way’s design elements, but they also perform incredibly well across different types of workouts. Whether I’m lifting, doing HIIT, or a CrossFit workout that includes a light run, these shoes provide solid support and stability. (Seriously, video of me running in them on an assault runner for proof!)The fit is comfortable and true to size, and the grip on the sole is fantastic, which gives me confidence during lateral movements and quick changes in direction. Plus, they’re surprisingly lightweight and breathable, so I can wear them for extended periods without any discomfort.I highly recommend these for anyone who needs a versatile, durable workout shoe that’s also stylish. The Nat Geo design is a unique touch that makes them stand out from regular workout shoes!

Digs into Achilles heel...like a lot
First of all, I love the look of these shoes and they were great for balance in my cross training workouts. I wanted to like them and tried to make them work, BUT they dig into the back ankle way too much. The back of the shoe comes up pretty high and it's very, very stiff. Honestly, I don't understand how these made it to market being so uncomfortable. I tried to give them a few workouts to break them in and I now have raw sores on my achilles heel on both feet (I also tried higher socks, but no luck). They were great as long as I was stationary (haha). But I literally walked for maybe 5 minutes in one workout and destroyed my heels. Another woman at my gym bought the exact same pair and said hers had the same issue. I am going to try the Nano X2s and see if those are any better...checked the reviews and didn't see the heel issue come up for those. The Nanos are so highly recommended that it has to just be the X1s...I hope! I'm not sure if I can return the X1s because I wore them for a few workouts.

Great shoes for Crossfit!
I love these shoes for Crossfit. They are flat enough to do lifting, function well for short runs, and are very comfortable. The black has stayed clean and the shoes are durable. I did try to take them out for a long run, and they are certainly not as comfortable as regular running tennis shoes. However, they have worked fine for me even on runs up to a few kilometers. I would recommend socks that cover the back heel to avoid any rubbing against the heels on more versatile movements like box jumps.
