THE 10 BEST CROSSFIT SHOES OF 2023
In today’s article, I will be sharing with you the list of the Best CrossFit Shoes of 2023.
WOD entails a lot of different movements: lifting, jumping, sprinting, and more.
That’s why Crossfit shoes must live up to a large span of expectations.
We have tested over 40 trainers from 7 different brands to select the best options in five different categories.
The best overall Crossfit shoes host all the necessary features to face the most demanding training sessions and competitions.
Highly stable for lifting exercises, they are just as versatile for box jumping, agility, rope climbing, and other activities.
As for the other categories, they highlight some features slightly above being versatile.
After wearing and testing nearly every current shoe designed for general training and CrossFit type workouts, my team and I determined that the best CrossFit shoes for 2022 are the Reebok Nano X2s.
With the Nike Metcon 7s close behind.
Although this is a fierce debate and our runner-up could easily hold the top spot depending on preferences, we had to go with one.
There are so many factors to take into consideration when looking at shoes, like durability, cushioning, and if they are breathable if they fit your foot.
Can You Run In CrossFit Shoes?
Yes, the best CrossFit shoes are designed for all kinds of exercise: lifting, running, jumping.
Some have great lug soles for gripping the ground during runs, some have an extremely flexible forefoot, and some, like the Nike Free Metcon 4, are literally a combination of a running shoe and a shoe made for lifting weights.
What Makes A Good CrossFit Shoe?
A good CrossFit shoe is one you can use to run, jump, climb ropes, and lift weights.
A more rigid sole is great for weightlifting, an elevated heel (even slight) is ideal for squatting, a flexible forefoot makes for good running and jumping, and a reinforced sole and heel are ideal for durability.
