NIKE Men's Varsity Compete Tr 3 Sneaker

Product Information

The toe box of the Nike Varsity Compete TR 3 runs on the narrow side. I find this to be common among most Nike shoes, so if you're used to that and like it, great. If you have wide feet and need more room, the Nike Varsity Compete TR 3 is probably not for you. The Varsity Compete TR 2 works well for most types of training, from lifting to dynamic movement. Take the shoe for a light jog, wear the shoe to the park for a long walk. Comfort and function both hit the mark on these.

Arguably, I do not have wide feet, so Nike’s have usually been my go-to in the past for a cross-trainer. This rings true here for the Varsity line. It is a great shoe, but if you have a wider foot, it will not be the shoe you reach for to get your training on. It might even be a little tight if you have a mid-range foot, but not nearly as bad.Opt for a classic style of workout shoe with the Nike Air Max Alpha Trainer 2. You’ll enjoy multiple benefits, starting with exceptional cushioning with a Max Air unit under the heel. The upper combines mesh and synthetic panels for a balance of airflow and support. At the same time, the outsole features a foam and rubber combination for the ultimate mix of traction and flexibility. A plush tongue, mesh lining, and traditional laces ensure the shoe feels good on, and the iconic Nike Swoosh completes the look.

While I know it is not a traditional running shoe, it could still benefit from the addition of some extra foam in the mid-sole and heel area. Out of the box, the Varsity Compete TR 2 is a little stiff. Give the shoe a few workouts to be a little more comfortable on your feet and you’ll be good. Don’t let your first time wearing the shoe dissuade you from giving the shoe the time they need to hit the mark. The mesh fabric construction on the Varsity Compete TR 2 allows for nice breathability. In a 1-10 score, I would give the Varsity TR2 a 6.5 or a 7. Not the most breathable, but also not going to hold in all your heat. I wouldn’t say post-workout that I ever felt that my feet were overheating in these. The multi-directional micro treads of the sole are amazingly grippy. Whether you're lifting weight, doing Crossfit, or in a fitness class, the sole of the Nike Varsity Compete TR 3 will not disappoint.are looking for something to regularly run in ( (the Nike Free Metcon 3 is a good cross-training shoe for running) I love how the Varsity Compete TR 2 gives you a really sure foot when you are doing more dynamic movements like box jumps, step up, side shuffles. You feel your feet holding and that helps. Like most of the Nike shoes that I have worn, the Varsity’s feel like you will be able to rely on the shoe for a while. They are solid construction and if you buy the shoe for lifting, they can be your go-to shoes for a while. I would not consider the Varsity Compete TR 2 outside of the gym. They are not comfortable for long-term wear as they are not built with a lot of cushion or body to really make the training shoe a great shoe for everyday wear. Who should buy it
