![]() ![]() Those in the market for a new gym shoe should strongly consider it. Overall, the Inov8 F-lite 260 V2 Knitted is a strong contender for the best CrossFit shoe of 2023. Folks with average-width feet will be very happy with this shoe, but those of us with wider feet might be better served with another shoe. With a slightly wider than average foot, the base of my 5th metatarsal protruded (albeit less than 1/2cm) over the footbed, and during cutting and jumping moves the base of my big toe easily slid outside the footbed.īecause the F-light 260 is so comfortable and flexible, sliding around didn’t lead to any pain or hotspots, however, I do worry about the longevity of the shoe as a result of its width & mesh upper (I often bust through mesh shoes at the pinky toe). ![]() While Inov8 describes this shoe as being even wider for a more comfortable fit, I would argue that they could have, and maybe should have gone even wider. The low bulk factor keeps this shoe feeling light and responsive, while the Met-Cradle and Toe Bumper give wearers peace of mind that their feet are protected. This feature actually outperforms similar features on the Metcon 8 and Nano x3 despite looking and feeling substantially less bulky. The V2 sports a new “Met-Cradle ” in the midfoot to protect and assist in rope climbs. While this shoe wouldn’t be my first choice for olympic lifting or properly heavy sets, squats, presses, jumps, and sleds all feel great in the F-lite 260 (Those looking for a better weightlifting shoe should check out the Rogue/Do-Win Classic Lifter). The 8mm drop elevates the heel just enough to keep lifters in the sweet spot without feeling like you are wearing full-blown lifting shoes. A former competitive CrossFit athlete turned coach, Panchick took his time and experience at the games and used it to help design the F-lite 260 V2 ($140).Īs one of the lightest and most comfortable shoes tested, the F-lite 260 v2 scores big points for breathability and cushioning while maintaining ample support and performance.
