Annie is the first One Worlder to sport a new pair of the Reebok CrossFit Nanos. I gotta admit, they look a lot better in person then they do in the pictures. The shoe is light as a feather and has a stable flat sole. Annie loves them! I'm gonna order a pair next week and give them a try.
Chyna is the first One Worlder to try a pair of the Reebok weightlifting shoes. When we were at the NorCal 40 competition, a bunch of peeps were wearing the Reebok weightlifting shoe. A friend of ours had a pair that she let Chyna try on. They felt comfortable, so she is giving them a shot. She'll be using the Reebok shoe in workouts, but will continue to use her beat up Adidas weightlifting shoes when Oly lifting.
Despite the duct tape, the Adidas shoe has a higher heel that better suits Chyna when she's lifting heavy.

Hey, not to rain on anybody's parade but I am sending my nano's back because parts of the sole on both shoes peeled off when I was warming up with some 90# prowler pushes. They were 2 weeks old. I know the roads get tough up here in Massachusetts in the winter, but come on, 2 weeks. NO GO ON THE NANOS.
Love your site Freddy, keep up the good work. And good luck to any of you one worlders who will be competing in the games this year.

Awwwww, thanks guys. <3
JP- of course I claim them.They all have t-shirts that say "tax deduction".Thats how I was able to afford the shoes!!
Ben, I bought them the exact same size as all my Nikes. And they are perfect. They are a wide shoe though. So if you have to normally by a bigger size shoe for width. You won't have to with these.

Hey everyone. Just thought I'd drop a note and let all you guys and gals know that an editorial AND user reviews of the nanos and the Olys can be found over at http://wlshoes.com. If you own them, or have used them, we'd love your input and so would the rest of the CrossFit community!

I have the nanos, it is my first "minimalist" type shoe, I really enjoy them, very light, stable, great on the rope! They do run about half a size large i felt. All in all very happy with it...
