20 Best Shoes For Elliptical Trainer (2023 Updated)

The shoes are so tight fitting. I’m normally a size 8, so bought 2 sizes, 8 and 8. 5. Both were tight even though the 8 was a closer fit so I kept that and returned the bigger size. Exactly 3 weeks of using the running shoes, I noticed both left and right uppers had ripped.

So disappointed as I have a race coming up soon, and have had to resort to buying a different brand. These were sent back as faulty. Running shoes last 9 months to a year, not a few weeks. The only good thing is that most of the material comes from recycled materials.

So, although good for the planet, it makes the shoes poor quality.

First of all, Reebok service is fantastic and the shoes arrived quickly and well packaged. Out of the box the shoes feel quality, not too heavy and are well made. The midsole initially felt completely different to the floatride found in the original floatride run and the run fast 2s.

More rubbery and dense perhaps. First run was a steady pace and I have to say I hated every second in these shoes. They felt lifeless, stiff and probably the hottest shoes I’ve ever run in. I decided to walk around in them for a full day to break them in a bit more.

Behold, a threshold run today and it was night and day difference. At quicker paces they felt effortless and responsive, a genuine pleasure. It was a colder day but they still felt hot however. I would say for my style of running these are going to be a speedier 5-10k workout shoe.

Positives: – Build quality – Excellent lockdown feeling – General comfort – Excellent grip – Responsive midsole at faster paces Negatives – Be aware there’s a break in period – Not as much impact protection as React for example – Midsole geometry seems to cause fatigue pronation to become an issue Overall would recommend as a cheaper daily trainer with great quality.

Quality significantly lower than previous models I’ve owned. I’m going 3 star instead of 2 because I can appreciate these are an “off road” model, but they are simply no where near as comfortable as any of the previous models.

The materials are firm, the areas around the ankle are unpadded and very uncomfortable. There aren’t even loops to attach the laces to the tongue to prevent them from getting swallowed. I’ll keep them for casual wearing, but I wouldn’t dare run or workout in them.

I’ve owned almost every iteration of the Nano and metcon. If you’re looking for off-road, Inov-8 does it much better than Reebok.

I’m 6’1” 230. Finding shoes that feel like they have enough stability for athletic movement isn’t always easy or inexpensive. These definitely do the job. I want a second pair for everyday wearing.

Bought extra wide for my husband. These fit more like a standard fit. Exchanged for a better fit from another brand

I bought these about a month ago and have worn them everyday since. They are more comfortable than the running shoes I had been wearing.

I purchased these shoes recently as my wife and I just joined a gym and they don’t allow you to work out in work boots. I have been impressed by the quality and comfort of these shoes especially for the price.

I have large feet and so these shoes can be a bit of a squeeze to get my foot through the opening, but once I do they are very comfortable. I will say that the sizing chart on the website seems to be off, as when I measured my feet using their recommended way and compared to the size chart, it told me I needed a 10.

5 for the shoe size. I generally run a size 13 or 14 in most other foot wear I have (size 14 in my Ariat boots and a size 13 in my Red Wing work boots). I wound up trusting my previous experience over their sizing chart and got a size 13.

I’m very glad I did. They turned out to be perfect in length and while the width is a bit snug the shoe has enough stretch that it’s not uncomfortable. I also really like how vivid the color is on these shoes (I got the blue with green highlights).

Also the support and shock absorption in these shoes is quite nice especially if you are like me, 6’1” and 350lbs and just going to the gym for the first time, as it takes some of the stress off my joints and makes working out more comfortable.

Overall a great pair of shoes and I’m very happy with my purchase.

Although I gave them five stars I returned them but here’s why. I think they’re GREAT shoes, super light weight, durable feel, comfy, responsive in movement, and style is slick. Big issue is that they are not made to support feet like mine which flat footed with foot eversion.

I wanted so bad for them to work for me but it had nothing to do with shoes quality just that my feet are not made for them. So if yours at more neutral and even have a bit of an arch then highly recommend these shoes.

So the colors screamed Evangelion Unit 01 to me and caught my eye when I saw them online. Face to face the colors in real life match what’s on the web. The material feels thin, not meant for much cold days but they were so comfy until I started walking in them.

They were a quite snug so I got them a half size up and they’re still a bit snug but kept that comfort and flash that I wanted in them. I recommend you try a pair but if that’s not possible, get them a half size, maybe even a full size larger.

I bought the shoes for a Kettleball/body weight bootcamp. The shoes are fine for most things, but with the high arch supports, I have problems with the shoes popping off my heels during excercises like Mountain Climbers where you are really bending your foot hard.

You have to tie the shoes very tight for that not to happen. I’ve never had that problem before. One note, the shoes come with two types of insoles and I chose the ones for high arches (I have really high arches) that the notes say are more for running.

That makes my foot more likely to pop out I’m pretty sure. I’d say these shoes are the firmest soles and body I’ve ever had. I like that support when doing lunges and things like that.

Bought on clearance so they were non refundable. Ended up being a tight fit for 9. 5 so we are hoping they will stretch out and break in. Nice they come with black laces and gray laces for 2 different looks, as well as with a extra set of insoles for running.

Sleek looking, looks like a nice quality shoe. Hoped to use as a casual office shoe but the fit makes them the lesser pick for the time being. Wearer said he needs to get used to the lower profile which makes it initially feel as if there’s not much ankle support.

Been worn a handful of times and still getting used to them. Hope they ultimately work out.

Well made shoe. Got them primarily for weight training. Runs true to size. I wear a size 10 in most shoes, ordered a 10 and they fit correctly. Style-wise they look great. They give you lace and insole options as well.

My wonky feedback is the heel is a little short and my heels were slipping out when walking. After breaking them in it is not as bad. Overall, I’d recommend them.

I was looking for something to wear for weight training and HIIT cardio. After purchasing the 1st pair, I bought a second since they are very comfortable. Fits true to size and feels supporting for everything I’ve been up to.

If only the other colors were still available, I’d probably purchase a few more pairs.

I’m new to the HIIT/bootcamp scene after a few years of little/moderate exercise. I have been wearing my UltraBoosts to the gym and have noticed some strain/pain in my knees during my workouts. I have assumed that it was due to lack of activity but decided to invest in some shoes specifically for this kind of exercise and I promise it makes a world of difference.

We do some jumping, maybe 800m runs on occasion and they work just fine. I notice I’m more stable lifting and they’re flexible enough for burpees, sled pushes, etc. I ordered my normal size 9 and could not have sized down at all.

Super fun to look at! Great colors! They perform as good as they look too! My husband and myself will ONLY wear nanos to the gym and then we also have pairs to wear out of the gym too! They have a great toe box; so much room for your toes to spread out.

Nice and responsive for lifting, but also good for the short runs during a xfit wod. 10/10 great shoe!.

Each Nano gets better and better. I’ve been a loyal fan of these shoes for years, and this shoe rivals even the best we’ve hitherto seen. It’s lightweight, yet sturdy. It’s the perfect shoe for the hardest of WODs and the look is an added plus.

Highly recommend.

Very comfortable in the toe box with great support; breathes nicely while working out, I like the minimal drop for deadlifts and squats. I do not like the back of the shoe. It does have a tendency to rub against the heel causing irritation for longer workouts.

I’ve had these shoes for a couple weeks now, and I’ve been very happy with them. They’re breaking in nicely, though I only use them for specific lifts/movements. The heel is solid, which combined with the nice flat bottom gives a lot of stability with heavy lifting.

My first workout with them was the crossfit open 20. 4, and they worked great not only for the clean and jerks, but also helped immensely with the pistol squats. At this price, I would highly recommend adding these to your gym shoe arsenal.

Shoe fits really great and feels solid and supportive. I’m really happy because i have a wider foot, and Power Perfect 3’s are true to size and fit wider foot reall nice. Happy with my purchase.

Product is great. Fits as per the sizing guide. Product arrived in good condition and took less than 10 days total from order to receiving. Pretty good in the covid climate.

Although supportive enough for long days on your feet, the quality of materials falls far short and negates any comfort the shoe provides. From the get go the tongue of the right shoe was digging into the front of my ankle, so much so that I had to bring the laces down one hole.

I tried putting it back after a few days, couple weeks, never improved. Within two weeks the adhesive failed on a portion of the soles (outer edge of little toe). Same spot, both shoes. The uppers are incredibly weak and break down easily.

The portion that wraps around the toe box and connects to the rubber just started flaking and peeling away after about five to six weeks in. The worst thing of all is the horrible, screeching squeak they started making after about a month.

First the left one, from the ball of the foot, every time I stepped off of it. Then after hoping it would work itself out for a couple weeks, the right one joined in. This would happen on linoleum, carpet, metal stairs, asphalt, whatever.

My presence would be announced about 20 paces ahead of me. They also don’t ventilate well at all, so stinky feet and damp socks prevail. Plus they look like grandpa shoes. Very disappointed.

I haven’t worn them yet but I tried them on and they seem to fit perfectly so far. I initially bought way too big and had to exchange. The thought of exchange stresses me out but the process was easy and stress free.

The customer service was great and I received my shoes quickly with both the original purchase and the exchange. Just realize that with unisex the size is mens so compensate for that if you are female as I had to.

These shoes are comfortable. Unfortunately they don’t come in a 6 1/2 size and my heals slip. The lining on the back continuously wear out within a week due to constant slipping. This is not a problem with the shoe, but rather the size.

If the padding on the bottom causes blisters, the seam can be taken out leaving the foot bed smooth.

Love these nanos! My favorite ones so far. They are very comfortable and their performance is great. I did a rope climb and overhead squat (ascending weight) workout. They perform well on the rope and they were sturdy enough that I didn’t need to wear my lifters for the overhead squats like I normally do.

The only downfall is that the rubber on the outside part of the foot on the shoe shredded a little after doing rope climbs. That may be my fault though since I use that part of my foot when sliding back down the rope.

I’ll have to learn another way of coming back down the rope to avoid the shredding. Although, that never happened with my previously owned nanos. Other than that, these are awesome! Some reviews mentioned that it has a wider toe box and that may not be ideal for people who have skinner feet, but it works for my feet.

Some other reviews mentioned they are not good for running since there isn’t much arch support. These are perfectly comfortable for interval running during CrossFit workouts and better than some other brands that I’ve worn.

No, they are not meant for longer distance running. Buy or wear running shoes if you plan on running longer distances. They are the perfect cross training shoe to do some Olympic lifting movements, running intervals, and CrossFit workouts.

My husband loves his too. Highly recommend.

My partner and I started a couch-to-5k running program about a month ago and 2 weeks into our program, we both realized we needed better shoes for running. I was recommended Reeboks by my brother who is a fitness trainer-in-training.

I purchased the Crossfit Nano shoes in size 6 using their heel-to-toe measurement on the website. They arrived a day early and I was elated! Unfortunately they were too small and my poor feet cried out for a size up.

I was crestfallen – I thought there could be no returns with the COVID-19 pandemic. I double checked the website policies and they actually do free size exchange! I was so relieved! It was very easy to start the exchange process, they have all the links on their exchange policy page.

They even provided the shipping label for the return! I returned the shoes through UPS with the shipping label and waited. Huzzah! New shoes in size 7. I have seen tremendous progress with my running, less ankle/foot pain and less knee pain.

Super comfortable shoes! I love them!!.

I tried these on in store just to see what they were like with no intention to buy them. Needless to say I did order a pair that day in store. I’ve tried on different trainers from various brands and these are by far the MOST comfortable I’ve worn.

Obviously they are designed with Crossfit in mind which gives you a wide range of use but with comfort to go along with it. The toe box is wider than your normal shoe which gives better stability but also makes it feel a little looser than typical.

The biggest difference I have noticed (other than comfort) is in the heel. I used running shoes because they were way more comfortable than trainers but the Nano 8 has a lower heel which is much better for my squats.

You may want to try a half size down if you like a tighter fit but I bought my regular size and in my opinion they are good. I don’t just wear these for working out but for general use and they are the most comfortable pair of shoes that I own.

I love this shoe, I just recently purchased two pair, I previously owned the Nike Air Fingertrap and they last about 3 yrs. I run or walk 4 mile 5 days a week and they did the job. I saw these on Nike Store and decided to give them a try.

I am very pleased with the overall product, they are very comfortable and light weight with a slight bouncy feel to them walking or jogging. I noticed Nike has up the bar on their delivery. I ordered my shoes on Sunday and received them on Wednesday, talking about free fast delivery, they wasn’t suppose to arrive until Friday.

I don’t know about everyone else but when I shop the Nike Store online I always receive a great at a great price and their customer services is tops in my book.

This is the first shoe I’ve ever reviewed. In general I try never to review anything. But this is a great shoe. I like it a lot and you will too. My recommendation is essentially a guarantee. On the real, this shoe is great.

It’s stylish and durable. I’ve never received so many compliments – especially from my male brethren – as I have with this shoe. It does run slightly narrow/small, but nothing that can’t be fixed by ordering a wide/slightly larger size.

Lastly, the material of the White/Black allows the harder white portion to be easily cleaned. The Black/Black is seemingly all “cloth” and not the same material as the white. Otherwise, performance and fit are the same between the two.

I was excited when I found this. I previously had the Fingertrap AirMax but the air pocket broke. I need a more sturdy shoe in the toe area so the new mesh fashion is not good because the foot spreads too much.

I wore these 1 day and them felt so much better. They are a little snug but room in the toes so I hope they stretch just a slight bit. The only other thing is the AirMax had an attached tongue and I felt that was a better design but I will deal with this to not have constant foot pain and not have to wear “old” looking tennis shoes.

And the reflective white was still my favorite coloring.

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!.

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.

These shoes are really comfortable. I have 2 pairs of Gallivanters I love, but these take it up a notch comfort and cushioning wise. Especially great for walking. Plenty of lateral support, which was my primary concern.

They may run just a touch larger than gallivanters, but I ordered my regualar g/fore size and they fit well. If you are thinking about a sneaker style golf shoe, I’d recommend these.
