The best workout shoes will make you look good in the gym while also improving your grip and support, allowing you to work out safely and effectively.

1. Altra Solstice XT 2

Altra shoes are known for two main characteristics: a generously wide toe box that allows you to spread your feet and a zero-drop heel, which means your heel and toe are level within the shoe. Many customers adore the brand for its two-for-one comfort, especially for hiking and other outdoor activities. However, it turns out that this design is also ideal for the weight room.

• NANO X2 REEBOK

The Reebok Nano X2 are fantastically versatile workout shoes for people who like to wear their cross-trainers both inside and outside of the gym. The Nano X2 may not be as fashionable as some sneakers or as capable as dedicated workout shoes, but they compensate for these shortcomings by providing the best of both worlds with as little compromise as possible. 

• Sneakers New Balance 990v5

A pair of 990s is appropriate for almost any situation, including travel, walking around, and going to the gym. Its cushioned midsole and subtle dad-sneaker design make it a shoe that can be dressed up or down and worn for both relaxed and more active activities. The 990s will fit most feet; they are available in a variety of sizes and widths.

• MID-TOP GORUCK BALLSTIC TRAINERS

We were concerned about the shoes’ lack of flexibility because they appear robust – even rigid. Mid-top, non-flexible Cross Fit shoes may be ideal for certain exercises (most notably heavy lifts), but they are not ideal for running or cycling. The Ballistic Mid-Top Trainers, to our relief, are flexible and comfortable to wear for workouts.

• ADVENTURE SHOES REEBOK NANO X1 TR

The Nano X1 Adventure Shoe was designed specifically for outdoor use, based on the design of the mega-popular Reebok Nano X1. Consider a proper Cross Fit workout shoe, but with a lot more padding, weatherproofing, and style. Because it appears that outdoor exercise is here to stay, sports apparel manufacturers are understandably attempting to fill the market gap with their products. Reebok’s take on this is the Nano X1 Adventure, and it’s a good one.

Bottom line:

A good workout trainer, in general, has a relatively flat sole, particularly under the heels (where it should also be a bit wider). Unlike running shoes, which have a curve from heel to toe to help you transition from one step to the next, workout shoes are most useful when they can provide a stable platform for lifting weights.
