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?

Check out our blog for help choosing the right pair for you: https://nobullproject.com/blogs/nobull-blog/the-expert-s-guide-to-gym-shoes

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.

Cut to the Chase
Customers say these high-top training shoes offer excellent ankle support and stability for gym workouts. Many reviews mention the lightweight, comfortable fit, though sizing experiences vary. Common feedback includes praise for durability and versatility during weight training. While some note they're difficult to put on initially, most find them well-made and stylish. Reviews indicate the shoes run warm due to limited ventilation. Frequent gym-goers particularly appreciate the firm sole and stable platform for lifting.

    Color doesn't match description

    Product I ordered is completely different from what I got delivered. The color discrepancy is very obvious. The picture shows it black but this "iron" color is actually blue

    Disappointed in the update to the design

    I had the first vison of Outwork high-top shoes and I really loved them, I needed a new pair and bought these to replace them and I'm so let down on the updated version. They took away everything I really liked about them. First they us to have a really nice and strong heel pull tab that made getting them on a breeze, good luck with these without it you'll break an ankle or have to really untie them because the laces are to short for this design. The tongue of the shoe use to be longer covering the top loop of the laces giving the shoe a great feel with ankle socks, the shoe is also smaller then the original. The way these shoes are seamed put more pressure on the top of your foot making you have to loosen them but the laces are so short in these you'll have to tighten them like your going to war to get a double knot. These are more sparkly in the sun, so if you're looking for some sparkle in your life with a shoe you cant tie or get off your foot be my guest. I put them on the day I got them and was really excited about having a new pair and wow, I really regret my purchase and am really disappointed in the update to these shoes. They had a really solid product that I wore every day for over 2 years before wearing out, the old ones where worth the price, the new ones are a cheaper version.

    NOBULL Outwork

    Decided to get these as a self birthday present. Very pleased with purchase with one minor complaint. Went a size up since size guide said they fit a little tight, but the insoles slide all over as soon as I start walking in them. Minor inconvenience but I would buy again
