Last updated: 28 October 2026 7 min read If you're looking to get the most out of your gym workout, consider a shoe designed for training. The best Nike workout shoes support your performance as well as your feet. Unless you'll be fully engaged in running, the best gym shoes should be training focused. Using your [running shoes](https://www.nike.com) for a gym workout is not something Nike Training Coach Lauren Schramm recommends. Your needs vary depending on the type of workout you do. The best gym shoes for [strength training](https://www.nike.com) and heavy lifting differ from the shoes you might choose for a cardio-heavy bootcamp class or a workout that involves sprints. Matching your footwear to your workout helps you get the proper support you need. With all of the different trainer options out there, it can be difficult to know how to choose the right training shoes for your particular exercise regimen. Luckily, Nike has several options tailored to your exercise goals. ## Quick Take: - For lifting-focused workouts, choose a stable, low-cushioned training shoe like the Nike Metcon. - Look for more flexibility and cushioning, like in the Nike Free Metcon, for dynamic dumbbell workouts and HIIT. - Mixed training regimes warrant a shoe that balances stability and responsiveness. - A wide toe box and firm base improve lifting stability. - Running shoes are not ideal for most gym workouts. ## Shop Nike Training and Gym Shoes [View All](https://www.nike.com/be/en/w/training-gym-shoes-3rauvz58jtoz5e1x6znik1zy7ok) - [ \ Nike Hybrid RN \ Men's Training Shoes \ __€ 139,99__](https://www.nike.com/be/en/t/hybrid-rn-mens-training-shoes-S0DIEknC/IV5066-101) - [ \ Nike Hybrid RN \ Women's Training Shoes \ __€ 139,99__](https://www.nike.com/be/en/t/hybrid-rn-womens-training-shoes-FoOOhTBE/IO3815-102) - [ \ Nike Metcon 10 \ Men's Workout Shoes \ __€ 139,99__](https://www.nike.com/be/en/t/metcon-10-mens-workout-shoes-KVNayU12/HJ1875-202) - [ \ Nike Free Metcon 7 \ Men's Training Shoes \ __€ 129,99__](https://www.nike.com/be/en/t/free-metcon-7-mens-training-shoes-7VRF26gy/II7405-402) - [ \ Nike Metcon 10 \ Women's Training Shoes \ __€ 139,99__](https://www.nike.com/be/en/t/metcon-10-womens-training-shoes-cCbxGtEl/HQ2620-503) - [ \ Nike x Hyperice \ Nike Air Zoom Hyperslide \ __€ 259,99__](https://www.nike.com/be/en/t/hyperice-nike-air-zoom-hyperslide-ZEl115MY/IZ6715-001) - [ \ Nike Mind 002 \ Women's Pregame Shoes \ __€ 139,99__](https://www.nike.com/be/en/t/mind-002-womens-pregame-shoes-2mqfRUAl/HQ4310-600) - [ \ Nike Mind 002 \ Men's Pregame Shoes \ __€ 139,99__](https://www.nike.com/be/en/t/mind-002-mens-pregame-shoes-1A8xmt36/HQ4308-001) - [ \ Nike Free Metcon 7 \ Women's Training Shoes \ __€ 129,99__](https://www.nike.com/be/en/t/free-metcon-7-womens-training-shoes-kYwV5WJK/II7406-106) - [ \ Nike 24.7 \ Men's shoes \ __€ 139,99__](https://www.nike.com/be/en/t/24-7-mens-shoes-En7qCZiM/IR0447-001) ## Quick Take: - For lifting-focused workouts, choose a stable, low-cushioned training shoe like the Nike Metcon. - Look for more flexibility and cushioning, like in the Nike Free Metcon, for dynamic dumbbell workouts and HIIT. - Mixed training regimes warrant a shoe that balances stability and responsiveness. - A wide toe box and firm base improve lifting stability. - Running shoes are not ideal for most gym workouts. ## Quick Take: - For lifting-focused workouts, choose a stable, low-cushioned training shoe like the Nike Metcon. - Look for more flexibility and cushioning, like in the Nike Free Metcon, for dynamic dumbbell workouts and HIIT. - Mixed training regimes warrant a shoe that balances stability and responsiveness. - A wide toe box and firm base improve lifting stability. - Running shoes are not ideal for most gym workouts. ## Quick Take: - For lifting-focused workouts, choose a stable, low-cushioned training shoe like the Nike Metcon. - Look for more flexibility and cushioning, like in the Nike Free Metcon, for dynamic dumbbell workouts and HIIT. - Mixed training regimes warrant a shoe that balances stability and responsiveness. - A wide toe box and firm base improve lifting stability. - Running shoes are not ideal for most gym workouts. ## Quick Take: - For lifting-focused workouts, choose a stable, low-cushioned training shoe like the Nike Metcon. - Look for more flexibility and cushioning, like in the Nike Free Metcon, for dynamic dumbbell workouts and HIIT. - Mixed training regimes warrant a shoe that balances stability and responsiveness. - A wide toe box and firm base improve lifting stability. - Running shoes are not ideal for most gym workouts. ## Quick Take: - For lifting-focused workouts, choose a stable, low-cushioned training shoe like the Nike Metcon. - Look for more flexibility and cushioning, like in the Nike Free Metcon, for dynamic dumbbell workouts and HIIT. - Mixed training regimes warrant a shoe that balances stability and responsiveness. - A wide toe box and firm base improve lifting stability. - Running shoes are not ideal for most gym workouts. ## Quick Take: - For lifting-focused workouts, choose a stable, low-cushioned training shoe like the Nike Metcon. - Look for more flexibility and cushioning, like in the Nike Free Metcon, for dynamic dumbbell workouts and HIIT. - Mixed training regimes warrant a shoe that balances stability and responsiveness. - A wide toe box and firm base improve lifting stability. - Running shoes are not ideal for most gym workouts.
