Great workout shoe
I am used to wearing the standard Core workout shoe, but find these to be just as comfortable but also a little bit more sturdy. If I had to complain about anything it would be that the laces are way too long, need to be much shorter.

Duck Feet Dreams
I had a pair of Core 2s and was skeptical of the Core Containments based on the pictures because i got duck feet; narrow at he back and wide as hell at the toe. I ordered anyway because why not. Top 3 most comfortable and functional shoes I have ever bought.

Love this shoe- However
Really love the refinements in this shoe. Lightweight and much improved in the heel area where I got excessive wear with the Overbeach Low shoes. My only complaint is where the two materials are welded on the toe box are splitting / separating.

Fitment issue
Its certainly lightweight, and I'm sure it would make a good everyday sneaker or gym shoe for weight lifting. Unfortunately the fit is a little weird, at least for me. I bought these in an 11 (the size I've been most my life) and when they arrived, in lieu of trying them on, I held them up to my pair of Viktos Range Trainers and they looked to be the same size. With that test being sufficient in my mind, I took the tags off and *then* wore them and found that they were too small. Maybe my feet are just weirdly shaped, or changed shape, because although I greatly appreciated the wider toe box (as someone who seems to be somewhere between a "regular" and "wide") it felt like they traded length of the shoe for width and felt at least a half-size too small. Walking and going up stairs was very uncomfortable, and my toes felt cramped, especially so with my 2nd toe. I can't speak for its longevity or anything else, because I can't wear them for any lengthier period of time, but they certainly feel like a good shoe, they just don't fit or feel true to size. Because of the factors, I couldn't give it 4 or 5 stars, but 3 wouldn't be right either; 3.5 feels more fair. I'd normally exchange these for a 1/2 size up, but because I removed the tags I can't anymore.

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.
