Shoe Reviews — Brand: TYR

The TYR L-2 Lifter builds on everything that made the L-1 great, but with some key upgrades for even better stability, durability, and grip. You still get that awesome wide toe box that made the L-1 such a fan-favorite and revolutionary design in the weightlifting world but now with a reinforced toe guard, upgraded heel counter, and improved traction.

The TYR CXT-2 Trainer has been redesigned for improved durability and features a wider toe box. It offers significant updates compared to its predecessor, the CXT-1, making it a more robust, stable and comfortable option for cross-training.

The standout feature of the TYR Barefoot Trainer is undoubtedly its wide toe box, promoting stability during movements and contributing to overall foot and body strength. Additionally, the convenient loop on the heel facilitates easy entry, while the shoe's ability to maintain a comfortable temperature throughout workouts is excellent.

This year I was looking to replace my old 2017 Reebok lifters. They've certainly taken a beating over the years. I wanted to try something new and with all the recent hype and attention on the new TYR L-1 Lifters and their anatomical design (i.e. wider toe box), I decided to try these out and test it for myself.
