Core Containment
After six weeks of gym use I'm generally happy with the shoe (3.5 stars). I like the wide toe box and the drop is perfect for me. It's a comfortable, good all-around workout shoe with very grippy sole and looks good to boot. A few changes I think would help: put some strapping mid-foot so you could lock your foot in if you need some extra lateral support (squats), I think a slightly firmer material in the heel would be good for reduced compression under load and like others have said, I'd get rid of the ridiculously long laces (c'mon guys - this is an easy fix)

Core containment
Worked out in them a couple of times so far. Comfortable, light, and seems to be well made. Fits true to size. My core 2 in mc black are still going after 4-5 years, but they are starting to separate at the sole a little. If these last that long I’d give em 5 stars.

Containment shoe
So far they feel durable and strong. Still not a fan of the extra long laces, but overall a good shoe.

Great Product yet again
I've been a fan of the Core shoes for a while and have gone through 3 pairs of the Core 2. The Core Containment has all the perks of the the old models, just updated. Fit and quality are outstanding. They are great for training and (I have a pair in black) still casual enough I can get away with them at work.

Core Shoe
This is my second pair. These have been by far my favorite shoes, and wouldn't trade them for anything.

The only Viktos shoes I've returned
I've owned a few pairs of Viktos shoes and they all fit great. These do not follow that history. They are shorter and more narrow than previous shoes. The construction also puts a material transition right where my big toe hits with each step. Shipping these back. I hope the next new shoes they add go back to the previous fit.

Grippy
Very comfortable and light. The lacing system is interesting, I haven't decided if I like that part or not yet. The sole is very grippy. The shoe upper breaths well.
