The CHTG1 in Black lets you train with intent and live with freedom.
First touch: a low, purposeful silhouette. First step: stability that sharpens every squat, deadlift, and sprint between tasks. Built around a zero‑drop sole and a minimalist profile, this shoe invites natural foot function so you move more efficiently, safely, and confidently.
Why this will change how you move

I bought my new red shoes because I loved my yellow ones SO much! You see I have bunions - too many years of stilettos maybe? Anyway these little shoes just mold to my feet like a slipper and look fabulous too!
I bought these shoes for casual wear with jeans but it turns out they’re polished enough to look like patent leather so I’m wearing them for work too. This is a bonus since they’re so comfortable!
