Men's Savage 1 (Black/White/Red)

The Born Primitive Savage 1: The Ultimate Do-It-All Training Shoe

I love my Born Primitive Savage 1s. They're easily the best all-around training shoes I’ve used in a long time. First off, the fit and comfort right out of the box are incredible. The midfoot keeps your foot locked in place with zero heel slip, but there's still plenty of room in the toe box for your toes to spread naturally when you plant for heavy squats or deadlifts. You don't have to deal with any painful break-in period or weird rubbing. On the gym floor, they hit the absolute sweet spot between stability and flexibility. The flat, grounded heel gives you a super stable base for heavy barbell work, but the shoe is nimble and light enough that you aren't dragging your feet during box jumps, sprints, or double-unders. Plus, the upper material is tough—rope climbs and burpees haven't scraped or frayed them at all. To top it off, they actually look awesome. A lot of cross-trainers look super clunky, but these have a clean, sleek profile that looks just as good with shorts or joggers outside the gym as they do during a workout. If you want a single shoe that can handle heavy lifting, intense cardio, and still look great running errands after, I can't recommend these enough.

Great strength training sneaker

I can't say enough good things about the sneaker. Very comfortable. It grips the floor very well and its low profile make it perfect to lift weights with.

Awesome!

I had been wearing zero drop training shoes for years due to achy knees and the wide toe box, but they always wore out quickly. I tried these Savage 1 sneakers and they are unbelievable! Wide toe box, support, no squishy feel, it just feels anchored in when you’re squatting or training in general. This is pair #3 for me. Highly recommend them.
