Tia-Clair Toomey-Orr made her comeback this year to the CrossFit Games, and what a comeback it was! Not only did she reclaim her title as ‘Fittest Woman on Earth’, but she then went on to win the Rogue Invitational three months later, and now she's training for his first-ever HYROX.
If you want to train just like the champion, you’re in luck, as you can now grab the exact shoes Tia wore at the CrossFit Games in the Black Friday sale. We saw two shoes that dominated Tia’s feet during the Games, GoRuck's Ballistic Trainer and their Rough Runner trainer, both of which are in the sale in the US and UK!

The Ballistic Trainer is the shoe that graced Tia’s feet for the majority of the CrossFit Games, and it’s a great all-rounder. It offers more stability and support than the Rough Runner, so if your workouts involve some heavy weightlifting, you’re best opting for this shoe.
The Rough Runner is what you would have seen Tia wear when she stormed through the Track and Field event and, as you probably guessed from its name, it’s best for running. However, Tia says in a video that this shoe really surprised her and that she can still do lots of different training it in, such as WODs and Olympic lifts. If, however, you’re planning to go ham on the weights, the stability won’t be there.
