Don't Just Listen to Us

“I fell in love with these shoes before I actually put them on because of how sleek and minimalist they looked, so I was very happy to discover that they are also the most comfortable shoes my foot has ever become acquainted with.”

The Strategist

“One of the best lifting shoes on the market—its sleek design is infused with multiple layers of foam that bolsters your lifting sessions, and a 4mm heel drop keeps you in touch with the ground for solid standing.”

Forbes

“These kicks are perfect for high-intensity workouts, offering durability and performance in one package. The seamless, breathable upper and grippy outsole make them versatile for a range of activities, from heavy lifts to plyometrics.”

Men’s Health

“This bestseller from the brand is built for stability, with a minimal heel lift and a rubber outsole for extra grip. Its durable upper is abrasion-resistant and protective, so your feet will stay safe (and your shoes will last a while).”

SELF

“For our money, NOBULL’s OG training shoe is still its best. The Outwork’s low-profile anatomical design keeps you stable and locked in during any situation. They’re perfect for high-intensity workouts, and the one-piece upper SuperFabric is comfortable and durable as all heck. We wear ’em for everything from plyometrics to heavy lifts.”

Your Questions. Our Answers.

What is your return and exchange policy?

We gladly accept exchanges within 30 days of delivery—even if you've trained in it, lived in it, or tested it out. See here for details.

Are NOBULL products covered by a warranty?

Yes, all products have a 1-year warranty. If your item is defective or isn’t performing as it should, please contact our Customer Service team to begin the process of getting a replacement.

Do your shoes work for wide feet?

Our shoes are built for foot ergonomics and use an anatomical last. This provides a more natural toe box and allows for greater toe splay than traditional sneakers. The best NOBULL shoe for wide feet is Outwork OG and Edge.

How long should a pair of NOBULL shoes last?

NOBULL is known for durability, and our training shoes are built to consistently outlast comparable models from other brands while maintaining performance.

How long does shipping take?

You will be able to choose from shipping options at checkout to ensure your order arrives when you need it. See here for details.

Who are NOBULL products made for?

NOBULL products are made for people who train — whether that means workouts, movement, or everyday life. If you’re committed to getting better, they’re made for you.

Are NOBULL products tested by athletes?

Yes. Our products are designed with athlete input, and tested by both athletes and trainers who put them through real work.

How is NOBULL different from other training brands?

We focus on durability, versatility, and function over trends. No gimmicks, no shortcuts — just gear built to work.

How much break-in should I expect?

Most of our shoes are designed to perform right out of the box. Certain more durable Outwork materials may take 2–3 workouts to feel fully broken in and softened as it molds to your foot.

Can I use orthotics or custom insoles with NOBULL shoes?

Yes. Our shoes are compatible with most orthotics and custom insoles.

How do I know which NOBULL shoe is right for me?

How do I clean my NOBULL shoes?

We recommend wiping with a damp cloth or spot treating first. For all our shoes besides those with PEBAX midsoles (Drive & Journey), you can also toss your NOBULLs in the washing machine on a cold cycle. Just make sure to remove the sock liner first. Skip the dryer—heat and shoe glue don’t mix. Air dry only.

Common feedback highlights the wide toe box and long-lasting construction. Some note the laces run short and require unlacing to put on, while a few report durability concerns with sole separation.

Great heavy workout shoe
I purchased the high top shoe for added stability and it was worth every penny! I only wear these to the gym plus the there and back. The grip is just starting to give a little but I’ve worn these 6 days a week since purchasing them. Outta the box they stuck like glue, the traction and stability really does make a difference when putting up heavier weights. The upper has shown almost no signs of wear. The laces are still tight. Great design and great material!

The best built shoe Ive ever worn.
These things may be bullet proof. They are super strong yet extremely comfortable. May be the last workout shoes I'll ever need. I strongly recommend these bad boys. NO BULL.

Men’s Outwork High-Top
This is a great shoe for the gym or also for wearing all around. Great stability and comfort on lifts or for HIIT training. I went with the high tops because I was coming off of a broken ankle and the high tops gave me a lot more support. Would highly recommend
