The GORUCK ballistic trainer has an 8mm drop, which is considered optimal for CrossFit, garage gym activities, and rucking, and helps prevent shin splints and reduces strain on the Achilles tendon.

“we came in with an 8mm drop sh we said this also happens to be the best shoe for CrossFit but for for us it's also the best garage gym shoe and you can Ruck with it and live you can live in your feet with this ballistic trainer on as well and you know the the drop does matter so basically the the the ruing offset or the the heel lift as it might be and you know that's how you prevent things like shinsplints and and it keeps the Achilles a little bit safer you take a little bit of that strain off it”
