As mentioned above, the sole is pretty hard, so it wasn’t the comfiest cross training shoe I’ve used for repetitive impact movements, but that probably won’t bother most people. I tested the box jump to assess the sole’s comfort on impact, then the wall ball for mid-foot flexibility. My final two tests were the box jump and wall ball.
