![]() ![]() The Do-Win classic lifters ($130) are almost exactly the same as the classic lifters offered by Pendlay/Do-Win back in the day. But if you just want one pair of shoes that you can do any workout in, anytime, while looking and feeling good - the Inov-8 F-light G300 is your shoe. Are they a full-fledged lifter? Certainly not. The G300 is super comfortable and it excels in just about every situation you can think of. Our lead tester found himself wearing these shoes on the gym floor more than any other shoe, both for his own training as well as while coaching. That cage we mentioned earlier keeps your foot from sliding laterally, and the wide toe box allows for toe-splay as you move. ![]() The 6mm drop gives you just enough heel rise, while the ETPU sole provides plenty of cushion without collapsing under load. Unless you are in an Olympic-specific cycle or training for a powerlifting meet, it’s doubtful that you would want or need another shoe because these shoes just work for everything. The G300 is a much better lifter than both the Metcon and the Nano X3, and might even have the Trainer+ beat. It would be easy to assume that the tradeoff for the G300’s running performance would be its lifting abilities, but that would be a bad assumption. These shoes run very well for an all-around training shoe - heads and shoulders above the Metcon 9, Nano X3, or the Trainer+, and while they aren’t a full-on running shoe, we think most folks will be more than happy running 200-800m intervals in them for their WOD’s. The graphene sole provides excellent traction and at 300g, the G300 feels light on the foot. The G300 slips onto your foot easily, and although the laces are a bit on the short side, finding the right fit is super easy. Initially, we thought the plastic cage around the midfoot might pose some comfort issues, but like Inov-8 claims, it just helps keep our feet in the right spot in the shoe while we are working out. The F-lite G300 ($155) features a super breathable mesh upper with a wide toe box, and a wrap-around “upper cage” for support. We’re happy to report that the F-Lite G 300 continues Inov-8’s track record of providing well-made, comfortable, high-performance training shoes. The F-lite 260 V2 took home the “best of” award for CrossFit shoes last season because it excelled at all things CrossFit while being one of the lightest and most comfortable shoes on our list. Our reviewers are pretty big fans of Inov-8 shoes.
