TYR CXT-1 Trainer ($130)
Anyone who ever got put in swim lessons or joined a swim team growing up will recognize the brand TYR Sport, which is more commonly known for its swim and triathlon apparel. The water-sport brand made waves (ha) earlier this year when it dropped its first pair of CrossFit trainers: the CXT-1 Trainer.
Indestructible, stable, and comfortable, they're now the go-to shoe for many CrossFit coaches and athletes alike. "The CXT-1 Trainer is one of the most versatile CrossFit shoes I've ever tried," says Giulia DiSanto CF-L1, a trainer with CrossFit Aggregate in Columbia, MO. Thanks to the 9 mm heel drop and built-in patent-pending stability platform, "they are stable and solid enough to [lift] heavy in, but due to flexible forefoot, they are light and springy for everything else," she explains.
This shoe also has so many CrossFit-specific built-in features — a reinforced toe box! grippy midsole! breathable upper! — that it's suitable for advanced athletes in the sport, too. Available in a range of colors from basic to balayage, this trainer also has you looking fly.
