Men's Inov-8 FastLift 335

Comments about Mens Inov-8 FastLift 335 Cross Training Shoe:

sizing is dead on with the Nano - but toe box is much narrower - which gives a good snug fir - desired in Oly shoes. great flex for double unders and box jumps - and not bad at all on short runs (200m and less) stick well on lifts and comfortable - very happy with the choice

The first Oly-lifting shoe from my fav brand, this shoe is much lighter than most Oly shoes out there. It features good forefoot flexibility, so it performs very well in Crossfit-style workouts. That said, I wouldn't run a lot in them. Another possible concern is that my toes touch the front, which is fine for lifting, but keep that in mind when ordering your size.

Use for Olympic lifting and crossfit wods that don't include running. Excellent stability for clean and jerks and snatches and al variations of squats. Never had inov8s before but I am now a fan.

This is my third pair of Inov8. I am used to minimal shoes with less than 3mm sole. The Fastlift 335 runs 1/2 size small, so get a 1/2 size bigger. It's slightly more narrow than traditional Inov8 shoes, most likely to plant your feet for weightlifting movements. They are supposed to be the most lightweight cross-functional shoe, but it's a change from wearing minimalist shoes (if you are like me, you will feel their weight). As far as performance, these puppies plant your feet during snatches, C&Js, etc (ie, they definitely add a performance level vs traditional shoes). They are pretty comfortable based on what they are (cross-functional shoes), but definitely not as comfortable as regular or minimalist shoes. For what I bought them (Crossfit) I would definitely recommend these.

I wear an 11.5 US in inov8 in general. 11.5 was a little small in the fast lift. This is my first pair of oly type shoes so I can't compare them to anything. What I can say is that I let my coach try them and he liked them. I like them.

These are a great shoe for both Oly and CrossFit type workouts. They are a little tighter than other Inov-8s that I've had in the past but I am getting used to it.
