20 Best Hiit Shoes For Men (2023 Updated)

If you are buying for fitness look elsewhere. The only reason I am not returning is because I bought them for looks not working out. There Is absolutely no comparison of quality between these and ballistic trainers.

I foresee the leather eyelets ripping out. The very bottom eyelet is just rubber that is stretching. I got an 11 in both and they are extremely close this one may be a tiny bit shorter and wider in the toe box area.

Will be the last pair of Reeboks I’d buy without seeing them, seems like they are running on a name but I have been disappointed in both pairs I have bought of theirs. Soles are cheap looking with holes that let the white and black show through on bottom.

Premium price, not premium shoe. Just my opinion I’m not gonna put them through any sort of torture test. Love the way they look though.

This is hands down the best version of the Nano they’ve had in quite some time. Super comfortable and versatile. I use it during regular lifting sessions, cross training, and even just for the occasional walk.

Only two things I would rate negatively on these shoes. The first, the laces are too short (if you lace through all the openings, which I do), and the second being the lace loops fray easily. They haven’t torn or anything yet and I’ve been using them daily since June.

I took notice more recently as I’ve been using the rower more and the strap on the footrest definitely plays a factor in that as well. But otherwise, great shoe.

Just ordered my first pair of Nano X2s for all around HIIT, CrossFit, and weight workouts. They look good and seem well made, unfortunately they are HUGE. I wear, and ordered, a 9. 5. There is so much extra room in the toe and heel, it feels like I’m wearing 11s.

Went to Reebok’s website to see what they had to say and found this statement, “Runs large. Based on returns, we recommend you size down. (If you usually wear size 7, order 6. 5). ” My bad for not doing more research, but for those of you considering these shoes please take notice before ordering.

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. **.

These are my second pair of Nano X1’s. They were on sale so I bought them as my “next” pair. Anyway I mistakenly ordered a 6. 5. I wear a 10. Long story short, I returned they provided. No questions, no comments.

Rogue fitness came through. Oh, the shoes are great too.

I bought this for the gym, to do various training. They are comfortable and light, good support and padding on insole, does not feel cheap. They look clean & sharp on my bigger foot.

I bought two pairs of these trainers and have worn both pairs over the past couple of weeks. One pair rubbed my little toes initially, while the other pair were comfortable straight off. However, one of that latter pair has now developed an annoying and embarrassing squeak.

So good shoes, generally comfortable, but will be better if I can get rid of the squeaking.

Bought my first pair of these trainers and within a day or 2 the rim around the edges went all white and squeak of them was just awful!!! Brought them back to the shop and with a fight, I got them exchanged for another pair the same and within the week of wearing them the squeak started again!!! Totally disappointed!!!! Was always a Nike fan but this has put off from buying Nike trainers again!.

These are good trainers for the gym, particularly for lifting. I don’t think they have the support or the design for long-distance running. It’s true to size, but could be tight for someone with wider feet.

They’re weigh a little more than a pair of light runners, but that’s mainly because of the solid sole. Overall good for under $100AU, not great when it comes to comfort.

I’m a long time customer. The pegasus (older ones) soles wore out too fast– So I’m trying these. Best flat like shoe I’ve tried on from Nike. Note that I like working out legs in Minimus style shoes.

Where I find some discomfort: side to side movements the foot rotates inside the shoe. The laces do not hold you in place. The grip around the ankle is not sufficient. Yet–I manage to get a decent leg workout in them.

It’s not a win win for me– Its just a semi win of a shoe.

The Nike Air Zoom Supperrep 3’s help you tackle a wide range of HIIT activities while remaining comfortable to wear. The arch in the midsole allows you to bend your foot naturally, which gives you a solid base for your toes when doing push-ups, planks, calf raises, lunges, and more! I routinely jump rope; the built-in air zoom packs help me do this longer by cushioning the impact and providing additional lift.

Given both of those innovations, I can see why these are a favorite among HIIT athletes. They are well made, run true to size, and have some great colorways for being a gym shoe. I have the grey colorway and love the pink on the outsole, which matches the insole.

The three different shades of grey make it easier to match with any grey in your shirt/shorts. It comes with a mesh material on top that helps keep the shoe light and your feet cool during your workouts.

However, these shoes are very thick and require you to adjust any pedal machines to a comical height. Despite their thickness, these are one of my favorites to take to the gym and are so comfortable I could see myself wearing them for many hours afterward.

The Supperreps have managed to combine functionality and comfort and are a serious contender for the best HIIT shoes.

but I didn’t. The colors are perfect and go with so many things! The reviews were (mostly) good. Wanted a more stable shoe for HIIT, plyo, and weight lifting. They were a little short fitting, but not so much that it was a deal breaker.

The bed is pretty stiff – not very comfy. But I expected that in a stability shoe. After several minutes of wearing them, the whole front half of both feet were numb – well, except for the pain on the under/outside of my feet! My knees hurt during lunges with these, though.

So, they went back! Definitely not the shoe for me.

I purchased these to replace an older pair of Reebok Nano Grace shoes that are well worn and well loved. Unfortunately, these have a much narrower toe box compared to her old Nano Grace shoes. Additionally, the shoe seems to run on the small side.

I ended up returning the shoes.

Great fit either you have slim or wide feet. Comfortable. Sole isn’t that flexible, but trainers are pretty comfortable (I bought this item a few months ago and they are still the same). They adapt to numerous different range motion very well, as they have a pretty stable base.

Perfect for HIIT as it is advertised.

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.

I had older version 5 of these, too small for me now, couldn’t find a good replacement. I’ve been trying nearly every training shoe available in my size (12-12. 5), including runners and basketball shoes.

I have a wider foot, don’t like shoes that are too long, need a bit of cushion but stable so I’m not sliding around in the shoe or struggling to maintain balance while I should be focusing on the exercise.

This one fits perfectly at 12. 5, it’s firm enough but slightly more cushion than Metcon, very comfortable, light and flexible but still very stable with good grip and maintains shape well. I wasn’t crazy about the plastic side supports, but when I tried the V7 model it wasn’t as good a fit or as comfortable.

Very much worth the effort and price, highly recommended.

These shoes are so comfortable. If you don’t plan on daily long distance use they can be perfect. However if you hike in them i can not recommended them. I put 10 miles of hiking on mine, and the back of my ankles have blisters from the slight motion the shoe has.

The shoe’s flat sole is too rigid. So as my foot bends with motion it slightly moves up off the heel. Then when i step down it moves back on the heel. 10,000 steps later, you have wear and tear on your ankle.

a very comfortable training shoe perfect for all gym activities including exercise classes such as Silver Sneakers. The shoe has excellent traction and is easy to put on and take off. The flat sole enables good balance.

I bought two pairs. These shoes are reasonably priced. They are a better choice for gym activities than running shoes which I used for many years.

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.

The MC Trainer by Nike is a middle of the road trainer style, with a nice casual profile. It provides nice support, but felt like it ran about 1/2 size smaller in the toe length, compared to other Nikes in my closet.

It is a bit more rigid than some of the other styles I have been wearing recently, as compared to a Free style for example. The sole is firm, which I found to be a negative when pulling them out of the box, however once I had them on they provided great support.

Overall, I really like the grey, black and white color scheme, but wish the black around the toe area was a little more subtle. That would make them more appealing to wear casually. As is, they are still an attractive shoe.

I really like the flat sole, and there was a decent amount of cushion, but not overly padded. I am not a runner, so I can’t speak to that, but for walking, lifting weights or cross training they provide a nice balanced support.

Unlike some of the softer soled shoes that have become popular, I feel like these may hold up a bit better over longer term use, as I typically go through a few pairs a year with general use. Overall, these were a good, not great shoe, and they serve the purpose very.

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.

Comfortable, light and look good. Nice fabric which fits comfortably over your foot

They are the best trainers I have ever had. Incredibly comfortable and supportive

It’s very good shoes I have 2 coz it’s very nice s

I wasn’t sure if I wanted to keep these shoes. When I saw them online I thought they looked nice and when I received them in the mail they looked nice in person. I was scared that these shoes would disappoint me.

I have had many shoes that are comfortable for about an hour or two then my feet start hurting. I asked my friend who is a sneaker head what he thought and he told me to keep them. I work a job that requires me to stand for 8 hours per day 5 days a week so there’s a lot of pressure on my feet and legs especially because im 5’6 and around 247 pounds.

I’ve had Brooks Ghost shoes that I tried to wear all day and they were so uncomfortable after an hour causing me a lot of pain. I’ve had Asics magic speed shoes and I had the same experience. When I wore the Gortex shoes yesterday I brought pain relievers to work just in case these made my feet hurt after standing for a little while.

I was VERY VERY pleased with this shoe. My feet were examined at Fleet Feet recently and my left foot is a size 9. 1 and my right foot is a size 9. 3. I’ve always noticed my right foot feels tighter in shoes than my left foot but when I try on a 9.

5 in shoes they are just too big for me to get used to. The first day (yesterday) I wore the Nike Gortex and it was raining outside. My feet did not get wet at all. Yesterday was the first day in a long time where I stood for my full 8 hour shift without having to sit down for a few minutes every couple of hours.

These shoes supported my flat arch and wide feet just fine. After standing for about 7 hours my feet started to ache but it wasn’t unbearable pain like I normally have. But I was also comfortably shifting the weight on my feet back and forth while I stood during my shift.

I’m really hoping the experience I had when wearing them yesterday continues. A few weeks ago At Fleet Feet when I had my feet examined they suggested I buy a pair of Hoka Bondi 7’s and I did. Although the Hoka’s give me a little more toe room (even with my size 9) to fit my feet completely, I wore them the day I got them while I walked around for hours outside and my feet were slightly aching after about 2 hours and I knew there might be a problem after about 4 hours of standing.

I am debating on sending the Hoka’s back and getting another pair of Gortex but I don’t know if I just need to break the Hoka’s in. But from my experience the Nike Gortex were so much supportive than the Hoka’s.

The only shoe that I had ever had that gave me all day comfort like I was walking on a pillow was the UGG sneakers CA805. I was looking for the UGG sneakers in the color black everywhere but I couldn’t find them anywhere (I need wear all black shoes for work).

I was so upset I couldn’t find the UGG CA805’s in black because they are truly a work of art. These definitely came in at a tie. The only thing about the CA805’s is that I wore them for a good 6 months constantly for work before they started leaning and felt worn out because they didn’t feel supportive on my feet anymore.

I don’t know if other customers can comment on this review but if you can please tell me your experiences. But yes, my first day wearing these my legs and feet felt supported and the aching pain was very minor (towards the 7th hour of my shift).

Excellent service with next day delivery. Shoes are great quality and true to size. Will purchase from this company again.

Very comfortable, light, with a spongy but firm sole, hard wearing & go great with hi-viz shirts hoodies etc

Comfy. True to size. Good wear. Nice color also…

I really wanted to love this shoe. When you feel the shoes in your hand you can just tell they are built to last. The stitching looked very durable. The heal was thick and padded. The overall material felt and looked amazing.

However, the sizes didn’t match with what I wear in my running shoes. The first order I tried my toes hit the front. I returned those and went up in size. The next size I felt the same thing. Then I realized it was the top of the shoe covering the toe for protection that was pushing down on my toes nails crushing them.

I wore them for only 30 minutes thinking the fabric might loosen up, but with each step and bend of the toe it just kept pushing down on my toe nails. I took them off and instant relief. Who knows maybe if I threw a tennis ball or something to give flex to the top of the toe box it would have worked? But, I don’t want to have to wait to do that.

Overall, the 3 insoles felt great and the toe box is wide like my Altra and Topo. They fit better than Reebok and Nike except for the toe.

Bought 2 pairs for myself and a pair for my 18 yr old son. I loved them at first but then after only one month (of indoor wear only) the inside of my shoe was tearing. Otherwise they look brand new! My son wore his twice and his mesh is already torn! I’m a HUGE Hylete fan but these shoes will not hold up! I compared the quality to my 3 yr old trainers and there is no damage even close to this.

I’m a fit pro and I love to promote quality. I’m so disappointed bc I had such high hopes! I have an unworn pair with tags on that I can’t return bc “flash sale”. I hope quality control fixes this.

When they came out of the box, I thought they maybe fit a little tight— that turned out to be a good thing. I walked to the gym in them and put in a hard workout involving deadlifts, squats, speed rope, and lateral movements.

They broke in perfectly and I can say these are the best workout shoes I’ve had. They hit the sweet spot of support and flexibility that is so hard to find. I’ve wasted a lot of time on shoes that just weren’t right, and maybe contributed to injuries.

No such concern here. Killer product from an independent company.

I use these shoes for HIIT workouts. the first thing I noticed is that these shoes are super light. They feel like slippers. they have a great lockdown on your foot and seem pretty durable on the upper.

They have a low-to-the-ground feel and the cushion is soft under the ball of your feet. The best part I like is the heel is so stable when you are doing squats and lunges. They loosen up in the upper the more you work out and use them so they could feel looser over time.

you might need to try on your size and a half a size smaller.

I’ve been apart of the Metcon family for some time. They never disappoint and are by far the most grippy and supportive shoe out there. Not only that, they’re also super comfy and stylish. A true leader in the training shoe category.

I’d give 100 stars if I could. The 8’s are the best out of them all in my opinion.

I purchased online and the shoes fit significantly smaller than my previous 3 generations of Nike Pegasus and Vaporfly. I ended up return them. The sole is very stiff and a bit awkward to walk and move in, but I assume it would be good for weightlifting (probably not so good for any sort of cross training where you move your feet.

).
