NEVER LET ANYONE OUT TRAIN YOU Straight from the riggers room comes our inaugural entry into the fitness footwear foray, the Core training/gym shoe. Built with the same techniques as top-line plate carriers, the upper blends lightweight mesh with reinforced synthetic overlays, all providing the ultimate grace under pressure. A wide forefoot allows foot splay under the crushing weight of your hero lift, while our Pararigger sidewall wraps provide lateral support when the prescribed event goes sideways. The undercarriage is built on the Viktos mobility bottom, engineered for maximum stability and traction, with just enough cushioning to blast out some quick cardio. In fact, the only activity the Core shoe won't do is take a knee. -Lightweight breathable mesh chassis-Parariggers sidewall-Synthetic leather overlays for durability-Mobility bottom unit for traction and stability-High volume forefoot for foot splay under load-Fitness training focused 4mm heel to toe drop-Weight 1.4lb/612g-U.S. veteran designed & developed-1-year workmanship & materials warranty

This is the training shoe I've been looking for!
Don't be fooled by the reviews about this shoe coming apart. This shoe is meant for "Weight Training", not running and hiking which you can clearly tell in those photos they are being used for ! I train competitively, 6 days a week and have had no issues. This is by far superior in comfort to the Inov's and other top brands. If I didn't have a newborn at home, I'd buy the other two colors right now (Maybe make the 11.5 $60 for me ;)). One thing when purchasing...Buy a half size larger. As long as this shoe is available, Ill be a purchaser!

Better than I expected
I was in need for a new set of shoes as I have been wearing flat soled shoes for the better half of the last two decades. I have been finding that I needed more arch support and was buying more running type shoes than casual hang out shoes. I was originally going try them out after seeing them discontinued at a different website for more than half off. But before I could pick up a pair of the ugly green ones, they went out of stock. I had bookmarked the gray versions on Amazon and had placed them in the cart and moved them out a few times. Eventually I just said what the heck let’s give it a try and ordered them.I normally wear vans size 10, and these size 10 did fit, But there was just something about them that didn’t strike me, and I couldn’t put my finger on why I wasn’t really impressed by the look of them. I ended up finding a pair of Gray Nikes for $9 at a outlet store and was going to return these until I got the grand idea to swap the laces on the two sets of shoes. That was it. The white shoelaces are what I didn’t like about them. I looked at the webpage again and realized that all of the other colors come with color coordinated laces except the gray ones.Overall I’m happy with the arch support, I’m happy with the look, I’m happy that they aren’t too narrow or too wide, but the only thing I’m now unhappy about is they are 20% off at this very moment that I’m writing this review so I could’ve saved myself $30 if I had waited a few weeks. Viktos really needs to spring for a gray set of shoelaces instead of white, as they just look better (imo).I’ve only had these for a few weeks so I’m not sure about durability but so far so good. I’m not seeing anything to wear they would break down in the next couple of months. And given that these are on sale I’m probably going to buy the black versions and alternate between them to extend their life.

GREAT shoe, half size too small
Shoe looks awesome! Feels great, but not OVER cushioned to eventually mess up ur feet. Walk flat, but not overly uncomfortable. However I wear a 10.5/R normally. These run a little small. So I wish I had known and I would’ve ordered an 11/R instead. So that being said with them fitting half size too small they actually fit a little cramped which is why the lower rating on fit & comfort, but everything else is great. The brand also makes tons of other great products as well.

Good fit, lightweight, durable, but mildly uncomfortable
I notice my archs and sole hurt after having anything over about 1 to 2 miles walking or running. I would recommend only using these in the gym for very light cardio or just weight training as they do not have much to any arch support or impact reduction. You can probably use these as daily drivers or for cardio if you get decent sports insoles, just don't buy these expecting like cushy dad shoes.

Awesome shoes.
Viktos makes great shoes. I have 4 pairs. All fit correctly and are comfortable wearing all day while on your feet.

Veteran to Veteran. Great shoe but quality is lacking.
I love the shoe design and fit of the Spartan. But, I do have one issue. I have only had the shoes about 3 weeks the toe is coming unglued at the tip. My family and I live crossing and go 5-6 time a week. I was disappointed to see the tip of the shoe coming apart.I have ordered PTXF Range Trainer Sneaker which seems to have more of a toe protective/ wrap. Updates to follow.

The upper wears fast
The upper wears fast even though it looks like it shouldn’t. Think Skate shoe appearance, Ultraboost upper durability. Would have been 5 stars if the upper was a bit stronger but still a wonderful shoe. Very comfortable and a great purchase.
