These 10 Cross-Training Shoes Can Stand Up to Any Type of Training

Reebok Nano X2 Shoes ($130)

"If you're doing CrossFit workouts, then you'll want a shoe with an upper construction built for withstanding abrasion and the stress that can come from this type of workout," Boly says. These Reeboks accomplish that with their durable Flexweave uppers, and they even have ROPEPRO outsole teeth designed for rope climbing. The responsive Floatride Energy Foam also allows you to spring off the ground faster during all those burpees and box jumps.

What reviewers say: "I was looking for an all purpose workout shoe for CrossFit, sprints and walking," wrote one reviewer. "This shoe not only serves all those needs but it's also fashionable and comfortable right out of the box."

Editor quote: "I'm never been a Crossfitter, but I've worn these cross-training shoes for all sorts of at-home workouts, from strength training and rowing to cycling on a stationary bike. I can't attest to their flexibility for running or jumping, but on all other accounts they were super stable, comfortable, and great for functional training. Even better: after tons of workouts, they still look brand new." — Lauren Mazzo, senior fitness editor

Hoka Kawana Shoes ($140)

Hoka's Kawana shoes have many qualities that are beneficial for cross-training, including strong traction and impact-reducing cushion. However, the extended crash pad and ergonomic support around the Achilles make it an especially practical choice for runners. If you're heading to a workout that incorporates running as well as strength intervals, for example, these cross-training shoes could be a good choice.

What reviewers say: "How strange to have such a plush ride that's supportive and stable enough for cross training! Who knew?!"

Nike MC Trainer 2 Shoes ($57, originally $75)

Cross-training shoes can cost upwards of $200, but these Nikes cost only $57 on sale. Despite their comparatively lower price point, these shoes are ideal for cross-training due to specially engineered rubber tread that is thick along the heels for added traction, and thin along the front for increased dexterity.

What reviewers say: "I just purchased a pair of Metcons shortly after I got these, and they are almost comparable. If you don't want to spend $130 on Metcons — get these."

ON Cloud X 3 Shoes ($150)

ON Cloud X 3's reactive "zero-gravity" foam and Speedboard heel cushioning ensures you can do as many HIIT circuits as possible without feeling it in your knees and ankles. Best of all, these shoes are also lightweight and breathable, maximizing your agility instead of weighing you down.

What reviewers say: "My first pair of ON shoes, and I find they run large, which surprised me - I'd heard the opposite . . . I bought these not for running (still have Nikes for that), but for strength training and HIIT. For that, they are perfect. Supportive yet light, structured and stable while disappearing into the background so I can concentrate on my workout. An excellent show for the gym. Not sure how they'd do outside for running, though, as they are more stiff than I like a running shoe to be. I have low arches, and these have helped prevent injury in even jumping lunges and other boot camp-type moves. Recommend a half size down unless you have wide feet. Worth the price."

Adidas Ultraboost 1.0 Shoes ($190)

You can't go wrong with this Adidas pair if you're willing to spend a bit more on quality cross-training shoes. They feature a molded heel counter and Continental Rubber treads, plus a cushiony BOOST-enhanced midsole and a Stretchweb outsole. Translation: you'll feel stable yet light on your feet no matter what type of cross-training you're doing. If you like a more flexible, lightweight training sneaker, these are a great bet.

What reviewers say: Customers don't seem to mind paying more for these cross-training shoes because of how comfortable they are, with one reviewer dubbing them as he "most comfortable and dynamic shoes that I've ever tried."

NOBULL CrossFit Trainer+ ($149)

If you don't have a natural arch, you know that wearing high heels can put a lot of stress on your tendons. A cross-training shoe with an elevated heel can be just as pain-inducing. These NOBULL Trainers, on the other hand, have a relatively low heel-to-toe drop of only 4 mm and are reinforced at the heel, making them ideal for those who are flat-footed.

What reviewers say: "They feel very stable for weights yet I can also do cardio in them. I love the feeling of how the heel of the shoe cups the heel of my foot. This is a very well crafted shoe."

Inov-8-F-Lite G-300 Shoes ($144–$180)

Shoes built for wide feet can sometimes fit well in some areas but loose in others, and that's definitely not what you want when cross-training: you need your foot to feel locked in. These Inov-8 shoes are the perfect amount of roomy, supportive where they need to be, and never slippery. They also have plenty of elasticity and shock absorption, thanks to the ETPU cushioning.

What reviewers say: "I enjoy the stability from the heel which provides a great shoe that is well rounded for lifting and WODs, and it's stretchy for wider feet in the toe box area providing lots of comfort."

Under Armour HOVR Omnia Training Shoes ($101)

When cross-training brings you outdoors, you'll want to be wearing a shoe that's as supportive as Under Armour's HOVR Omnia model. The tough rubber outsole can handle outdoor terrain with ease, but it's still flexible enough to support a wide range of motion and is equipped with shock-absorbing cushioning.

What reviewers say: "I have tried a lot of training shoes and truly this is the perfect training shoe. I love that the toe is structured and the top isnt too soft so my feet dont roll over the footbed when doing planks and side lunges. There is no rolling and I feel very secure."

STRIKE MVMNT Haze Trainer Shoes ($150)

When it comes to weightlifting, Boly swears by these Strike Mvmnt cross-training shoes. The wider toe box and low heel-to-toe drop provide the stability and grip you'd typically want out of weightlifting shoes. At the same time, they also support lateral training because of their raised sidewall chassis, so your foot won't roll even when you're bounding through speed skaters or lateral shuffles.

What reviewers say: "They're low profile enough to gather a great feel of the ground and generate power through your lifts, but not too harsh for high impact stuff like running and jumping."

R.A.D. One ($150)

For a cross-training shoe that looks as good as it performs, Boly's go-to is R.A.D. One. Not only is this environmentally friendly shoe durable and lightweight, but it also has Swell Foam cushioning (made partly from sugar cane) that makes it stable and springy so you can rely on it for everything from lifting to CrossFit. These features are all wrapped up in a modern silhouette — and some seriously fun colors — designed to be worn both in the gym and on rest days.

What reviewers say: Customers are drawn how sleek these R.A.D. One cross-training shoes look compared to other brands and are generally impressed with how sturdy and versatile they are.
