I purchased these (and the Cobalt Blue) Nano X3 specifically for training at my local gyms. I had been wearing an elevated running shoe. The Nano is be far the better shoe for me at the fitness center. I feel more grounded or connected with the floor, important to me when lifting or exercising. I'm 6'6" and weigh 270 lbs. and a very active older person. These sneaks are specific and not knock arounds, at least to me. I bought what I wanted and got what I bought. Surprisingly, I have a little extra toe room in my size 15's.

This is my 4th generation of nanos I have owned. I thought I could depend on Reebok's nanos to have a good size toe box. I really wanted the all white one so I accepted the higher price thinking it would be worth their usual quality. Unfortunately, they let me down. It's a good 1/2 inch narrower then my last generation (black in the photo)! You can see the difference with the black shoe under the white where they are lined up flush on one side. Since the toe box size is a make or break for training shoes, I won't be wearing these to train. I wore them outside already and in the gym to try them out so I won't be returning them but I also will only wear these casually if my feet can tolerate them. It's sad that shoe brands are going for looks over quality. News flash, ... MoreThis is my 4th generation of nanos I have owned.

It's sad that shoe brands are going for looks over quality. News flash, comfort and health of our feet are in. Stop pushing narrow shoes down our throats. Anyhow, I tried to spoke with customer service. All they did was push an exchange for a bigger size on me, which I politely explained why that wasn't going to work for me and asked more than once what the toe box size was and if the women's or men's were any different then the unisex I purchased. Eventually, they said they would look into it and I should expect an email from them personally in 48 hours. That was a few weeks ago now and no email. This will be my last Reebok shoe I'll be buying it seems.

Unfortunately a lot of the other reviews were correct about the "unisex" issue. I bought the X3 AND X4's and they seem to have the same issues. They are narrower than my old X2's, (which are my favorite athletic shoe ever) so I had to size up a 1/2 size and that seems to have caused a bit of heel slip but at least they fit better. The X2's felt like they were custom made for me and fit perfectly, especially if you have wider feet. Still a good shoes and look fantastic but I wish they would bring back MEN'S shoes.

Fans of previous versions of the Nano please note-this is a completely different shoe altogether. The aesthetics and cushioning are great but this incarnation is missing some of the key attributes that made X, X1, and X2 so enjoyable. For me those are the wide toe-box with comfortable soft mesh and the solid heel support. In the Nano X3 if you go a half size up to give yourself more toe space you risk heel slippage in the back, and if you go with a tighter size you face blisters or injury in the front. I wear cross-trainers mostly for boxing and outdoor calisthenics so I like a more compact fit for support in lateral movement. The older Nanos were great in that you could go a half-size down and still remain injury-free in your toes due to the wide box in the front. ...

Hopefully Reebok takes this into consideration and brings back some of the terrific qualities of the older versions in Nano X4.
Faithful nano girl, using them for CrossFit. I still have my Nano 6 & 7 still in great condition. I purchased the x3 not only is the shoe design drastically changed, the toe box is way too narrow, inner sole is slippery & slides during runs & workouts. I also cannot wear them for long, they hurt my arches. My husband also states they feel stiff. & now they're falling apart. Really disappointing as someone who has been faithful to Nanos. Please go back to the old design.
I have owned many versions of the nano going back to the original. I really liked the nano 6 and nano 9.Like: Comparing the X3 to the previously mentioned models they have made some improvements such as build quality, the X3 is holding up better than my 9's. They are also a better straight weight lifting shoe as they feel very stable under foot. The cushioning on the tongue is a nice addition, and makes the shoes more comfortable.Dislikes: What happened to the foot shape ? The nano 9 was the last version I owned that had extra room for my toes to splay out. I don't like the feeling of my toes smashed into the shoe or being constricted when I'm doing movements. The arch support is fairly minimal and also feels like it is too far back on my foot (closer to the ... MoreI have owned many versions of the nano going back to the original.

The arch support is fairly minimal and also feels like it is too far back on my foot (closer to the heel rather than mid foot). Feels like there is more heel slip than previous generations. Maybe it is the socks I've been wearing lately but when I do a TRX workout it feels like these shoes are going to fly right off of my feet during certain moves.Please bring back the foot shaped design
Great shoe. I have wide feet and I got this shoe after reading reviews that they were wide and with a decent toe box. Can not even fit my foot in a metcon. I wear them to the gym everyday. Got my first pair about 6 months ago. Very comfortable shoe. I squat,bench and deadlift in them. Raised heel helps. The shoes is also very comfortable while doing cardio and as an everyday walking shoe. The heel is very stable during heavy lifts. Bought my wife a pair also. Highly recommend.
This is my fifth pair of Nanos. The toe box isn't too wide or too narrow. You can utilize them for anything. Perfect for heavy lifts, conditioning, or short runs. Most shoe material on the tops of the shoe will break down with wear which allows your foot to slide around. Nanos don't do that. I use a lot of lateral movement and stops and these shoes support that movement. I will continue to buy Nanos as long as they don't mess with the formula!
I tried these on at a Flagship store in NYC because of curiosity. I had been hearing some not so favorable reviews about this shoe such as sizing too small and stiffness. In my practical observation they fit like a glove even better than the Nano X2. The toe box is more snug. The Mid foot is about the same. The heel may be a slightly roomier. The shoe did squeak a bit when i walked and jogged in place. I laughed, because it sounded like i was walking on Fall leaves crushing and sloshing though not discouraging. This was on sale at the Reebok store for less and not on the website. I will Purchase ASAP from Store.
Nano X3 (All Blue), i really love what reebok is doing in the fitness world.its a solid shoe with a decent price compared to other Brands (I have tried them all).i have tried the Speed Tr, Speed Tr 2, legacy lifters and these nano X3 are no different solid shoe, great design, color ways are great. comfy, got a wide toe box for doing the lifts you need. and fits true to size. you can use them for everyday walking or a run or CrossFit workouts. i do recommend them after some heavy workouts ill update with how they hold up, but if its like any other reebok fitness shoe they should last a long time.
