This year Tia-Clair Toomey-Orr returned to theCrossFit Gameswhere she reclaimed her title as ‘Fittest Woman on Earth’, her seventh win. Were people shocked? Probably not. The 31-year-old had trained hard since giving birth to her daughter Willow and hadn’t been quiet about the fact that she was returning to the Games for one thing, to win. And a win she did.

Lots of things contribute to Tia’s success: her dedication to training, a good diet, prioritising recovery, and wearing the right kit during training, AKA having a good pair ofworkout shoes. This is key, especially as the exercises in CrossFit are so varied and technical.

This year, the CrossFit athlete packed quite a few different pairs of training shoes in hergym bag, as we managed to spot four different pairs throughout the Games. Want to know exactly what Tia had on her feet? Below are the four shoes that helped her soar to success.

The Ballistic Trainer from GoRuck is the shoe that we can see on Tia’s feet for the majority of the CrossFit Games. Tia says these are a great shoe if you’re looking for a little more support, for example, you’re doing a Metcon and then going into some heavy squat cleans or snatches. They come in four different colours and are available in men and women’s.

LUXIAOJUN Weightlifting Shoe

Event spotted:Clean Ladder

Every CrossFitter will have a designated weightlifting shoe in their gym bag for the Games, and, this year, this was Tia’s. Sadly, you can’t get the exact colour that Tia wore, as hers were custom made, but there’s still plenty of cool colours to choose from, and the shoe itself is exactly the same.
