We all want to look good and fashionable especially with our choice of footwear. Even while we reach for trend and style, sometimes it requires more in a pair of shoes for our workout. Comfort, durability, support, technology are some of the things that are important to keep our feet in pristine condition and also keep ourselves pleased with the buys that we have.Here are the 8 best recommended crossfit shoes for indoor training:
PUMA Women’s Tazon 6 WN’s FM Cross-Trainer Shoe
“The platform is very stable almost as if you can’t roll your foot from side to side. But that is a huge benefit if like me your feet roll outward while walking. It’s also a big benefit for cross training classes during which you make sudden side to side movements. These keep you firmly planted on the floor.They look like they would be very heavy, but they are the exact opposite. They are very light but well constructed. On your feet you either love the look or you don’t. They make my feet look large especially in width but it doesn’t bother me a bit. The comfort is worth it. “ – Lorrie, aerobics, cross training, boxing, boot camp, treadmill
Reebok Women’s CROSSFIT Nano 8.0 Flexweave Cross Trainer
“Five years doing Crossfit and I’ve worn almost every Nano that Reebok has made, Grace, and Nike Metcons (which gave me wicked shin splints with double under.) These by far are my favorite! Better than my previous favorites which were the Nano 2s, Nano 6s and Grace. They work great for box jumps as the gum sole grips well. I haven’t used them for rope climbs yet, but I think they’ll perform just fine. Plenty of room in the toe box and my heel doesn’t slip at all. This shoe really hugs my feet without digging in at all. Plenty of room in the toe box and my heel doesn’t slip at all.”– Michelle, gym camp, treadmill, circuits
Nike Free TR 6 Training Shoes
“I have flat feet and a bit wide and still these are amazing! Not narrow at all for me. I just add an arch support pad for my personal needs and it’s fine. I use these shoes for my Orange Theory workouts, my outdoor runs, etc and they are just fine. I love how they are higher than a regular shoe but yet not as high as a hi-top shoe. Super cute shoes as well. Very fashionable and sporty.”- Mel, gym, indoor workout
Ryka Women’s Influence Training Shoe
“They are lightweight and roomy on my foot. They are very stable. I don’t feel any outward roll, but I also don’t feel restricted. While they don’t feel squishy they are clearly well cushioned because i literally felt like i had a spring in my step – more energy – just walking around. The first time i used them I did a 45 min walk/run on the treadmill and had no discomfort, pinching or cramping. My foot that rolls out the most felt stable and comfortable.”– Lorraine, walking, treadmill, cardio, gym machines
Nike Women’s WMNS Metcon 3 Trainers
“I am a runner and in the past, I’ve always used old running shoes for my cross training. The flatter bottoms of these Nike Metcons are really what you should be using for cross training! I use these shoes for cycling, HIIT, and total body conditioning classes. These classes also involve sprints from time to time and these shoes work perfectly for that too! I’m sure this is for any cross training shoe, I think the only thing I noticed between these and running shoes is the shoe rests lower on my ankle (the types of running shoes I buy have a higher cut).The gold/white is very stylish as well. Great quality.”– Ana, running, treadmill, body conditioning, cycling
New Balance Women’s 711 v3 Cross Trainer
“As a 30-something woman, I started having nightmares of lunch lady shoes and nursing home shoes and finding myself trapped in an orthopedic shoe store doing chair aerobics. Thankfully, these New Balance shoes rescued me and I still look fashionable (you know, like middle-aged, mom-fashionable. Let’s not get too ahead of ourselves). The insoles are so comfortable. My feet melt into memory foam and they really help my feet to not feel tired/sore after an hour at work. The shoe bottoms are grippy and thick, but not heavy or clunky. The upper part of the shoe is also nice- the wide width was perfect.”– Sasha, treadmill, walking The flexible yoga socks that I wear with these shoes make them even more comfortable and versatile. I can easily transition from a day at the office to a quick workout or a walk in the park without having to change my shoes. Plus, the stylish design means I can rock these New Balance shoes with confidence, knowing that they are both functional and fashionable.
Under Armour Women’s Threadborne Push Cross-Trainer Shoe
“I really like the fit on these, they don’t pinch my toes but neither do my feet slide around. I like that the toe box is much more structured than a soft trainer but not overly rigid, good amount of flexibility. Shoes are lightweight. Looks wise the “red” is pretty bright (more like fluorescent orange), I wouldn’t wear them anywhere but the gym but I do like that the “raisin” is so dark it looks black.”– Elaine, weights training, cardio
Adidas Performance Women’s Aleki X Cross-Trainer Shoe
“The functionality of this cross trainer is outstanding! Solid support for all types of squats, lunges, and lateral work. They are very light and jumping movements are very comfortable to perform in them. My workout of choice is HIIT training in a rowing class. These shoes immediately gave me the flexibility to get full forward tuck without binding the forefoot.”– Joan, gym workout, cardio, aerobics
