I tested these NOBULL sneakers at the gym and they handled every workout I threw at them

I love working out — and what I wear to the gym matters as much as the workouts that I do.The right shoes, for example, can either leave me in a ton of pain after or have me feeling like I could take on another HIIT circuit.I’ve had my favorite sneakers for a while, but they finally gave way a few weeks ago.That’s when I tried the NOBULL Women’s Drive 2 shoes to see if they could effectively replace my old ones.Pros:Cons:The NOBULL Women’s Drive 2 are described as lightweight hybrid training shoes, and that description feels pretty spot on.

They have a 4mm heel-to-toe drop and compression-molded EVA for a more responsive strike.They also have reinforced mesh for better airflow — a major selling point if your training sessions are long, sweaty or a combo of both.I wore these shoes to the gym for a 40-minute elliptical workout, a quick core circuit and to lift some weights.Through it all, the shoes felt supportive and breathable.

I tend to get sweaty feet at the gym, even with socks on, but with these sneakers, that was a thing of the past.Weight: 7.9 ounces | Drop: 4 mm | Stack height: 23 mm heel / 19 mm forefoot | Upper: Engineered mesh | Midsole: High-resilience EVA blend | Outsole: Multi-directional rubber tread | Fit: True to sizeThe weight balance felt good, too.I tend to lean inward with my sole, but while wearing these shoes, my feet stayed planted on the ground without leaning one way or the other.I was a little skeptical because at first the sneakers felt quite snug, but once the shoes started to conform to my feet, they felt incredibly comfortable during my long workouts.My favorite part was the versatility.

I could wear these during HIIT workouts or use them for a lengthy core training session the next day.The shoes adapted to everything.For a pair of shoes that don’t just look great but feel great, too, the NOBULL Women’s Drive 2 are well worth it.

I love the various shades they’re available in and the breathable, lightweight quality...
