That's all I'm interested in using them for honestly, leg day & calves.Do you think it would be a good shoe to use for the gym? To do squats, ie does it have a barefoot feel?

Could you elaborate what you mean by a barefoot feel? I ask because it has a siped lunarlon foam as its insole. My experience in both my Lunarglide 4 and Kobe 8 is that the lunarlon foam is very squishy, the opposite of what you'd want from a barefoot shoe. Does the cushioning feel firmer than this year's Nike free line?

Cvcabran,Picked these up this morning at the Nike Store near me. Here's a couple of volt shoe comparisons in case anyone is interested:
Hyperfeel vs. Flyknit Racer
View media item 567514
Hyperfeel vs Free 3.0 v5

Im curious how the shoe loses shape.
if you dont wear socks with these, does it cut up your ankles?
IMO, barefoot feel is literally feeling like your barefoot. You can feel the ground under you. The way you run would be different, striking at midfoot instead of heel. There is support and comfort but not so much that you can't feel what's beneath your feet and you have lots of foot feel and flexibility. I have Vibram FF I use for lifting (squats) and running. A whole different feel than wearing Frees.
Thanks for the detailed responses guys, as its really hard to get a real feel for a shoe's performance by just trying it around the store. Glad to hear that it has a legit barefoot feel.I honestly could not tell the lunarlon was there. Felt a bit rough when running. Every time my foot hit the path it only felt like i had that out sole separating the ground from my foot.
I tried taking a pic of the shoes to show that they look deformed but the lighting it terrible.
Basically if you own a pair of Flyknit racers and get that crease around the toe area, this shoe is the same. Im sure once you re insert the shoe trees you should be good.
Anyone get shipping confirmation from Nike? Mine says order processing...ordered next day air since I had a 15% discount code...ordered them this morning if it matters
RRS has them. You need to call them though. They are not listed on the site for some reason.
Thank you! Just called and got a pair.
