20 Best Cross Trainer Shoes For Women (2023 Updated)

The shoes are pretty comfortable, and I like that you can do a runner’s loop with the additional lace eyelets. They are really breathable during my workouts, and I love that they are vegan. Regarding sizing, they are the perfect width but they are definitely half a size too long.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t return them to see if the smaller size fit better as I bought them on sale, and Reebok only allow one exchange, which wasn’t suitable for me as the smaller size wasn’t necessarily going to fit better.

In hindsight, I’d have bought both pairs at once and returned the pair that didn’t fit as well. A lot of reviews on here have mentioned the sizing being slightly too big. The shoes themselves look pretty cool but I dislike the light green colour on the sole.

It’s very visible when walking, so clashes with any outifts that don’t work with light green! A black sole would be more versatile.

I have owned all types and styles of training shoes across all major brands. I owned a pair of Reeboks in the past and loved them. I found these shoes and after wearing them for several lifts/workouts, I don’t think ill ever go discount store/brand again.

You get what you pay for and with these Nano X1’s, they did not disappoint. They felt extremely stable, the break in period was quick and seamless and they look great. I wouldn’t recommend these as a “cross trainer” shoe, maybe very short distance runs at best, but if you’re looking for a competitive, stylish and top notch weight lifting shoe, I’d highly recommend them.

**Only downside was the back of the shoe, by your achillies tendon, is very stiff and will rub and may cause redness or a blister. I wouldn’t wear low fitting ankle socks with these especially when they’re brand new.

If you stick with a higher sock, like crew length, you won’t notice it. **.

Guys. I have been searching high and low for the perfect workout shoe. I do mostly HIIT/cardio and weight resistance training in my living room at home and have cycled through several different pairs of trainers, all of which made my feet ache by the end of the workout.

I decided to give these Reeboks a try after reading a few helpful reviews. After three different workouts, I’ve decided I’m in love. I highly recommend these shoes if you’ve had issues with pain in your feet during workouts.

I’ve had these shoes for a few months now, so I could give an honest review. The main reason I got these shoes were because I needed new trainers and was looking for something with good arch support while I heal.

I have been dealing with posterior tibial tendonitis due to a running injury. These are incredible when it comes to arch support and comfort. The narrow width of the shoe keeps your foot from sliding during training, which prevents injury! The only complaint I had with these trainers were that the elastic were too tight at first.

Now that they have been broken in, they are comfortable. These shoes are great as trainers, for those who lift light weight during strength training, low intensity HITT/ circuits, and walk on the thread mill.

They are not the greatest for lateral movements because the narrow width can make some become unbalanced. You may want to look for a more stable shoe that contracts if you want to use these for lateral movements, high jumps, or running.

As an aggressive Power Walker that incorporates step-ups, squats, lunges and calf-raises into my outdoor workout, finding shoes that supports my pace and leg exercises has been challenging. These do that and then some.

They are very comfortable and as someone who suffers from shin splints, provide great support while giving me the correct balance for the leg exercises. Love these so much that I’m planning to purchase another pair.

If you need fast walking/jogging/running support while having the ability to do leg workouts, these are the shoes!.

These are my favorite training shoes! I would prefer to train without shoes BUT when I need shoes I love these. I’ve had the metcons (new and old) and so many others and these are by far my favorite.

Really comfortable, stable, and last a long time! I use them mostly for kettlebell work, lifting, and some slight cross training although I wouldn’t recommend them as a running shoe.

I love these for lifting!! I cant wear converse cuz I do have a wider foot but these are just as flat and supportive and I can feel SO stable. These are my second pair after my old ones were destroyed after 5 years of intense HIIT exercises on turf.

Love love love. I don’t even need a new pair but I want more!! I used these for both weightlifting where flat floor connection is essential (deadlifts, squats) and theyre flexible enough to not worry about my shoes creasing for bear crawls and burpees.

I swear. this training shoe is perfect. I needed to buy a new pair of gym shoes badly, because the 3. 5-year-old training shoes I owned had me slipping on the hardwood floor of my home if I tried to hold an almost side split, and the laces couldn’t keep the shoe snug and tight during workouts.

Consequently, my ankle would feel unsupported. These, however, truly went on and stayed on like a glove. Of course, as Nike shoes seem to do, they run small. I’m normally an 8 (leaning towards wide) in other shoes, but for Nike, I get 8.

5! The width was perfect. I can really feel the wideness and stability of the heel, as well as the cushion for the balls of my feet. Just now, I did a HIIT workout, and I felt complete support. Don’t hesitate to buy these shoes!.

I have shoes for lifting. The Metcon 4 is the best shoe for strength training Ive ever owned. I own 4 pairs. You’ll never feel more planted in a squat or DL than with the Metcon 4. I also have a running shoe, the Pegasus 35.

So much cushioning, but its a running shoe so didnt expect any less. Great shoe for running. This shoe folks–is functional for BOTH. Now that I am working out from home, running is an excuse for me to get out and get some outside time.

I run up to 3 miles in these shoes and they are comfortable for me. I am right over 200lbs, and after 3 miles, this shoes dont create any kind of discomfort in the knees, hips or other typical areas you feel discomfort after running.

With lifting, I also feel secure and planted, not as much as the Metcon 4 but still, the point is this is a great cross trainer. You can run/job (though not sure about long distances) and you can do your strength training and feel good in this shoe.

As I wear a size 12, when I find good shoes I buy them up. These are great shoes. Cant recommend them enough.

Needed a pair of shoes that would be functional for heavy weight lifting and bodyweight/cardio training. I highly recommend these if that is what your training covers. Great foot support, light weight too.

Great for deadlifts/squats for keeping feet flat and driving with the whole foot.

Well i bought the shoe and it came pretty quick. it came in a huge box that was 4x the size. and upon opening the box, there was still the magnetic tab on the shoe, I have to bend and pry and brake it off cause there was no way I was shipping it back in the same box.

Other than them forgetting to take the magnetic alarm thing off. the shoe has been good.

I love my new amazing shoes. I got them for a fantastic price. I use these shoes for lifting, rowing, and the stair stepper. I would not recommend them for running.

I purchased these X2s to replace my Nike Metcons for weight training at the gym. They are not quite as stable as the Nike’s which makes walking lunges a little more difficult but do offer good support around the heel and it’s easier to get the laces tight to keep your foot anchored in snug.

The Reebok’s have less padding on the inside around the arch and inside of heel which makes it a little less comfortable than the Nike but do offer good support as mentioned. The fit around the toes is perfect compared to the Nike’s which are a bit snug.

I’ve been wearing the X2 regularly and can honestly say it’s the best Nano shoe to date. Reebok took the best parts of the Nano X and the Nano X1 and created a very durable yet breathable shoe for all cross training activities.

They also made the X2 even more stylish than the X1 and can easily be worn for casual or even today’s relaxed work environments without looking like an overdone athletic shoe. I love the new colorways, too although the Pure Gray/White/Black combo is excellent.

These shoes are perfect for what I needed. I do lots of HIIT and running workouts as while as strength training and LISS. These shoes work for all of those! I love the color and style, and my foot feels stable and secure in the shoe! However, there was some glue right where the Nike logo met the base and some other glue spots on the black box near the arch.

This was slightly disappointing but the pros outweighed the cons of going through a tedious return process over something so small. Overall I was happy with this product and Nike has again delivered the quality that they promise.

Comfortable sneakers for the gym. I usually wear a 7. 5 in sneakers & these run true to that size. They are comfortably cushioned. I really dislike the way they lace up because it is difficult to both tighten & loosen the laces.

I don’t know why anyone would think this lace design is a good idea. For the money, I prefer the Nike In-Season TR 9 Women’s Training Shoes. The souls of those shoes are softer compared to these shoes and the cushioning is just as good, if not better.

I will continue to wear these shoes until they are no longer useful, but I will not buy them again.

I legitimately didn’t know this brand still existed. I have been on the hunt for cross trainers for months, and most of the shoes from the major brands are either hideous or super uncomfortable. These are simple and surprisingly comfy.

I only wear them at the gym but they serve that purpose well. I am flat-footed so I can’t tolerate a noticeable arch, and these have none. Nice and wide in the toe box, and they hit the ankle in just the right place.

Definitely recommend. Usually I like more colorful shoes but the white is classic!.

I haven’t had K-Swiss since I was a TEENAGER. I saw the rave customer reviews on the various websites and decided to give these a try. The look of them reminds me a lot of a pair of Asics I had about five years ago and loved (of course they stopped making them after that pair).

These are true to size and very comfortable with the “tubes. ” I took off one star, just because I don’t think they should have written TUBES on them despite that being the technology. I think the K-Swiss logo should have been placed on that part of the shoe.

Under pants, nobody sees it anyhow. Glad I bought them.

I purchased last month. I was looking for a white sneaker to wear to a cookout and to look cute to my attire. Well, I did and this sneaker spoke volume! It wasn’t too busy as for the style! I’m 57 and it was an eye-catcher to where we went.

I received so many compliments on it! PLEASE! Design more solid colors! I’ll definitely purchase them! Awesome fit, light weight and quite snuggy! Thank you it’s a PERFECT sneaker!.

I really wanted to like these shoes. The colors were cute, and I love the idea of a shoe made just for women. However…. I wear an 11 in street shoes and usually buy an 11. 5 in gym/workout shoes. No 11.

5 was available in this mode, nor was a 12 offered. I bought the 11, and sure enough, they are a bit short. My toes rub against the front. Not bad. but still. I was going to return them, but decided to keep them and see if they’d be better once I broke them in.

Nope. Still not really comfortable. I wear them for casual wear ( my volunteer work at a food bank) and to my yoga class. I won’t wear them for hard workouts or treadmill. They just don’t have the support I need, which I have in my Brooks.

Also…the laces are a bit skimpy. Too bad…wish they had worked out better for me and my foot.

These were my first pair of Jazzercise shoes! Ryka cross-trainers were recommended to me but I had no idea what style to get. There are many different “models” that all advertise essentially the same thing – lightweight, cushioned, arch protection, designed for women with a handy pivot point.

I went with these because gray/silver/light blue/pink was the most palatable color combination I could find at the time. They worked for me, but they ended up being just a little too firm for me on the bottom.

I tried another model after this pair, Vestige RZX, that worked better for me than these. Ryka, if you’re reading this, please add more solid colors to your catalogue 🙏🏻.

I was disappointed with the shoes structure and fit. I’m very active and participate in Jazzercise 5-6 days/week. After wearing a week, I had numerous blisters, and was frequently tripping due to uneven and odd texture of the sole.

The width of the heel of the shoe is much to large. My foot was constantly sliding around inside the shoe, to the side and front and back. I tied the shoes as tight as I could, but then that created discomfort as my foot would still slide and the arch support was then pressing on the in front or behind the inside of my arch.

The shoe also did not have the flexibility to point or flex my foot. But the colors are fun and the for mundane walking, the shoes are very comfortable and supportive. But if you need to articulate precise, sharp movements, this is not the right shoe style.

I bought these shoes because I needed extra support for when I play Pickelball. I saw a difference right away. My feet did not hurt after 2 hours of playing. They have padding around the back of the ankle and have arch support.

I am glad I switched over from another popular brand that I use to buy.

I found these shoes comfortable from the first wearing, I use them for weight training and walking and because they look great I use them for casual shoes also. My only complaint is that the tongue always moves to the side.

Bought these multi-colored Reeboks for doing T25 and Insanity. They are very stable and there is no slipping on hard flooring. Most of my exercise sneakers are size 7. 5 (which is what I ordered), but I could have gone with the size 7 instead.

The toe box is a bit larger than I would like. kinda baggy if that makes sense, but not a deal breaker. Perhaps the size 7 would have been better. These shoes also provide a “warm up” before your actual work out as they are tough to get on.

I have high arches, so that doesn’t help, but these bad boys take some serious effort to get my feet in. I am contemplating making 2 small cuts to separate the sock liner thing from the tongue. Once on, they are comfortable and supportive.

I have worn them for a few work outs, so I will be keeping them, but do they really need to be this difficult to put on??? Yikes.

I purchased these shoes for kickboxing and cardio classes. They are very well-made, provide significant arch support for hard-hitting workouts and are true to size. They are remarkably scuff resistant which is a wonderful bonus and I appreciate the soft breathable top layer of the shoe.

One of the best benefits this shoe has to offer is strong ankle stability, key for quick side to side lateral movements during cross training. I have always found Reebok tennis shoes to be superior when it comes to daily workouts.

I was looking for a training sneaker but didn’t want to spend the money on those super expensive exercising/weight training sneakers just yet. My foot seems really supported in the heal for weight training.

There is an inner “sock” to the sneaker though and there is no tongue to pull and tighten when you tie your sneakers. I’m not a huge fan of that because i feel like the pulling the tongue and tightening the laces gives for better foot support.

But overall i like the sneaker.

Just received these yesterday. I love the look. Same comfort as the Devotion XT. Decent stability for the foot for teaching my classes. Perhaps just a tad large. I ordered a 9W, just a little too wide.

I’m always bouncing between that size or 9. 5 regular trying to find right fit. Hoping a thicker pair of socks will help. Great alternative to my go-to Devotion XT mid tops though.

These Ryka’s are great looking, but they do not have the usual great fit that Ryka’s are known. One toe was chafed & bled; the big toe on the other foot was squeezed causing ingrown-toenail pain. I have been Jazzercising for over 40 years, & I have worn my share of Ryka shoes, so I know the fit.

If they took exchanges, I would be happier. Disappointed.

Absolutely love these shoes! The most comfortable and durable training shoe I’ve had. Pivot toe is great for Zumba. Thinking about buying an extra pair!

Two weeks in, the G 300s seem like a great replacement for my old F Lite G 290s, which were by far the best training shoe I’ve ever used. If these can last for the two years of daily gym/trail running use that the G 290s endured, they will definitely be worth 5*s for value.

The G 300s are more cushioned than the 290s, but still give you the firmness in the heel that you need for heavy lifting, while the cushion seems to give you a bit of extra bounce for skipping or box jumps.

I’ve used them for a range of crossfit workouts, and they’ve handled absolutely everything with ease. My only minor complaint is that these run a little larger than every other pair of Inov-8s I’ve had over the past decade, so my size 43s are a little too long and I’ve noticed a touch of lateral slippage when doing things like overhead farmer’s carries.

It’s not Inov-8’s fault, I guess, and if I were in the UK with easy returns I would have downsized to 42. 5 and probably had a totally perfect fit. But paying for overseas shipping to make them a tiny bit smaller wasn’t worth it for me.

In terms of quality, I gave 4* only because the big side seam on the left shoe seems to have a little fraying to the stitching, and given that I’ve had some issues in the past with seams coming undone (none with the 290s, which were built incredibly well), I’m a little wary of how the seams on the G 300s will hold up, especially on rope climbs or trail runs through brush.

I’m hoping this is just paranoia on my part, though.

Ok I literally thought I was buying v245 but knowing me I probably actually ordered v230. So I’ll start by saying my 1st pair of invo8 was v235 which I absolutely loved! This is my 3rd pair and they are even better than the v235s.

A very natural feeling shoe( almost like you’re barefoot) but with support. The v230 have a little more cushion than the 235s so I’m really loving them so far. I do a light type of crossfit that doesn’t involve heavy lifting because I’m old fat and everything hurts.

These the 235 and the 230 fit that perfectly. I’ve done murph in both pairs and the running is much better than you’d think. Both pair feel too light when you 1st put them on. Don’t let that fool you these shoes perform exceptional.

I also own a pair of v300 which also perform very well. I prefer the 230 and 235 to the 300 but that’s because I don’t lift a lot over my head and I believe the 300 would be better for that type of workout.

I’ve owned Nanos(which are great) but the invo8 are better. NoBulls were not for me at all maybe I ordered the wrong ones but they are used to mow the yard now. Metcons are not my choice either. I’ll definitely purchase more invo8 in the future.

If I have a complaint it would be the website needs a more detailed description of which each shoe is good at or made to do. It’s a little short. But once you try these you’re going to love them.

I came to these after using my Reebok Nano X for less than a year with the bottoms physically flopping around separating from the main shoe bed. I ended up gorilla glue-ing those to get them to work.

In other words my last reebok shoe. Anyways enough about that shoe, and back to this one. I can already tell the quality is just all around better, I bought the bare xf-210s to combo with these for a more minimalist feel, these are my all-arounders.

With a tight shoe-tie these were stretchy in the tongue enough to easily get my foot in and be secure. The stretchy loop there helps as well. These look super sharp in my mostly black setup–I’m pretty rough on shoes and prone to scuffing so black is for me.

I like the shiny features on the side and the neat look of the inov8 logo. The grip is just right combined with the meta-flex toe-bed; push-ups were no problem with these as compared to my last shoes that were.

These were nice to run in while being a middle of the pack minimalist, and felt great for box jumps, the fit is just right for me and not busting at the seams for the toe-bed which makes for a comfortable shoe.

Overall if you are looking for the best all around gym shoe, this is it!.

Decent shoe, basic comfort, construction appears to be good, decent color options. I personally struggle to find the correct sizing in Reebok shoes, one size is too big, I try a 1/2 size smaller and that size is too short.

I’ve tried a couple different styles and experience the same result. This style felt too wide and too long in my normal size. The 1/2 size smaller felt better in the width but too short in the length.

I don’t feel there was a lot of arch support but then that is not a feature I look for. I will keep trying other styles because I like the Reebok brand. Just need to find the style that is perfect for me.

I’ve never had a sneaker that is so tight and hard, that is impossible to wear. It’s extremely narrow on the front of your feet squeezing all your bones and fingers together, but what is even worse, the back part is stitched with some extremely hard plastic, which literally cuts your ankles into the blood.

I was not able to wear them, as only after 100 minutes of the walk I had to take them off in the middle of the street with broke and bloody skin on my ankles, as I just couldn’t walk anymore. As an international purchase, I don’t even think I can return them.

Total loss of money and complete disappointment.

Fantastic budget-mid range cross training shoe, very comfortable and light, very grippy on a variety of surfaces, absolutely recommend if you’re wanting a good pair of trainers to start training, they’re comfortable enough as well for general use.

The drawbacks (which are understandable for the price range) are that they are not stable enough for heavy powerlifting, the lack of a protected upper makes them easily worn out by rope climbs or climbing in general, the completely flat sole while grippy is not effective for long running, they’re fine for short runs but if you’re using the treadmill primarily, and not doing strength training, go for running shoes.

But for a general all round cross trainer with good versatility for a beginner to intermediate training, these shoes are fantastic. And they come with enough colourways to suit plenty of people (Ones I bought were the black to white gradient sole).

This shoe is amazing! Absolutely, hands down, the most comfortable golf shoe I’ve ever worn. And I’ve been through a few pairs! Out of the box, on my feet, to the course. Brought a back up pair of golf shoes since I hadn’t broken them in.

No need for that! And then, since they are labeled as a “cross trainer”, I put them on for my Bootcamp work out. Again, perfection. Can’t say enough great things about this shoe!.

Be sure to order a half size up, they run short and the toe beds are narrow. I had to cut down the insoles of my first pair after one round. These shoes are good for walking the golf course and very well made and super cute.

I now have two pair in different colors, the second pair ordered a half size up. Order quickly as all items sell out almost immediately. Customer service is excellent and orders are received on time.

I bought these based on recommendations from other women about how comfortable these are. However I suffer from some painful foot problems and these were not any more helpful that less expensive shoes I’ve work in the past.

And now I own a very expensive pair of golf shoes that don’t help me. I am so sick of all these shoe ads that claim comfort, stability and happy feet. Don’t believe the hype.

The trainers look smart, are comfortable and feel supportive. I had to exchange them for a larger size as they are quite narrow so felt a bit tight in my usual size.

I wanted these for work but they are so hard and uncomfortable inside and l thought they would be nice and comfortable. Nice on the outside, not so much on the inside and they fit really tight

They are very comfortable, and the design is unique. Definitely would buy them again.
