I needed a wide toe box trainer for cardio workouts e.g. high impact circuits/aerobics as well as weights. I use Topo shoes for running but running shoes are not flexible enough for burpees, lunges etc and too bulky for agility type exercise. I thought the F-lite would be a good option. I was pleased to find a wide toe box shoe from a UK manufacturer.
It is more flexible than my running shoes. It has great toe room but it is very wide on the foot and there is only a wide fit, so it is bulky still and I need to lace it tight so my foot doesn't slide inside it. The biggest problem is that it does not provide enough shock absorption for high impact activity. They feel like landing on cork rather than being bouncy. After a short session (20 minutes) that I have done loads of times before, I have developed an injury in my foot.
I now need to carry on looking for a wide toe box shoe that is not too wide across the ball and arch of the foot and is suitable for high impact workouts (higher impact than running). The F-lite is great for weights, elliptical training, walking and lower impact workouts though.
