Las 7 Mejores Zapatillas De Cross-training Para Mujer

Versatility is the name of the game as Reebok Nano X4 paved the way for seamless transitions from our cardio exercises to our lifts. Our lab tests confirm its excellent foothold, balanced by a cushioned and flexible midsole to boost comfort. We could easily use this pair every day as it’s our top women’s cross-trainer.

The Nano X4 features Reebok’s Lift and Run Chassis system, which embraces the rear side of the trainer. This adds stiffness to the shoe’s build, proven by its 4/5 torsional rigidity score in our manual twist test. Whether we performed one-legged or dynamic lateral motions, it offered impressive foot containment.

Underfoot, the midsole offered impact protection during jumps. Our caliper shows a generous 26.0 mm heel and a moderate 17.4 mm forefoot, making it suitable for women who seek a balance of comfort and ground sensitivity. The cushion has a firm 30.0 HA durometer measurement for stability, with a softer 27.0 HA cushion under the heel for gentler landings.

Performing plyometrics and other floor workouts was a breeze because the Nano X4 moved freely with our feet during planks and burpees. Our bend test confirms it needs a near-average 18.5N force to bend to 90 degrees, cementing its adaptive nature.

While an excellent all-rounder, women with more specific support or cushioning needs for serious running or heavy weightlifting should find a more appropriate trainer.

The Nike Metcon series comes in strong with the v9, leading the CrossFit category among women’s cross-training shoes. We could perform our WOD exercises with full confidence and maximum effort thanks to the strong base, reliable grip, and forgiving midsole we proved through lab tests.

The Metcon v9 promises sturdy support for lifting, perfect for women who want to add weight to the barbell without worries. The low 21.5/16.0 mm stack offers increased ground connection and is 16.2% firmer than average so it doesn’t compress unevenly. We even found a sturdy Hyperlift plastic under the heel for extra reinforcements.

Metcon v9 features a wide base, offering extended contact points of the grippy outsole to the ground. At 116.9/95.0 mm, it gave us more room to find our footing vs. the 110.6/87.3 mm average. Meanwhile, the outsole kept us in control as we performed quick footwork and lunges.

Surprisingly, Metcon v9 is stable, but not at the expense of flexibility. It emerged as bendable as average in our 90-degree test, giving us the freedom to perform planks and burpees with less effort.

Unfortunately, Metcon v9 is 23.9% heavier than average. Women who prefer an agile feel may find this pair too bulky.

The Nike Free Metcon 6 truly impressed us in the gym with its exceptional lightness and flexibility while delivering the stability needed for weightlifting. Diving deeper into the lab, we discovered its midsole delivers both ground feel and plush comfort, making it our ultimate HIIT cross-training shoe for women.

FM6 feels barely there on foot and our scales back us up with a 9.7 oz (274g) reading, 10.2% below average. Its airiness is further enhanced by how freely it moves with our feet during planks, burpees, and other workouts. Our flex test shows it’s one of the most agreeable trainers we’ve tested, needing 75.8% less force than average to reach a right angle. We found it highly suitable for women who enjoy a barefoot sensation.

The cushion sits below average at 22.0/14.8 mm, yet it feels delightful because of its soft 22.5 HA durometer rating. We had a good sense of the ground but had enough impact protection during jumps. We also found a firmer 27.8 HA foam under the heel to stabilize our landings.

Besides the dual-density foam, we had a flat and solid connection to the ground because of its massive 1113.9/94.4 mm base, enhancing our control. While we found it reliable for lifts incorporated into our training plan, we think another pair can offer more support for serious or Olympic weightlifting.

Maximum energy return, comfort, and grip are what we enjoyed while working out with the Nike Air Zoom TR 1. Backed up by lab results, we found its Air Zoom unit consistently responsive while the midsole took care of our joints. Its flexibility gave us the freedom to move as we please, supported by a grippy outsole to maintain control. Overall, it’s our best cardio cross-trainer for women.

We felt like we could extend our sessions because the midsole felt that good. Our durometer shows it’s 26.3% softer than average, giving us a cloud to land on with every jump. The Air Zoom supported explosive movements and enhanced the effortless feel of the shoe.

Speaking of effortless, bending our feet during burpees and planks was never a problem. In our bend test, we saw that it follows the same force (17.7N) as average to reach a right angle, making it suitable for women seeking a natural feel.

When it was time to execute quick footwork, we were confident we wouldn’t slip because the sticky outsole kept us safe. Our durometer shows it’s softer than average at 75.6 HC, which usually translates to better traction.

However, it lacks ventilation for heated cardio sessions. We cannot recommend this pair to women who often encounter blisters or sweaty feet.

For the New Balance Minimus TR v2, less is more. Our lab confirms it embraces simplicity with its light weight, low resistance, and humble profile. It gave us a barefoot sensation in our workouts, highlighting comfort and freedom of movement. Among women’s cross-trainers, it’s ultimately the best minimalist shoe.

This trainer essentially disappeared as we started moving into the gym. It weighs only 8.9 oz (251g), 17.7% lighter than average, making sure it prevents the onset of fatigue since it’s one less load to carry.

Its weightlessness is further enhanced by its highly flexible midsole. From all angles, it hardly shows any resistance. We twisted the shoe manually with our hands and it gave in easily, earning the lowest 1/5 torsional rigidity score. Even in our bend test, it emerged 38.8% more malleable than the average trainer, perfect for women seeking a natural and versatile feel.

We attribute its bendability to its low profile. At 14.0/11.8 mm, it’s one of the most grounded we’ve measured, offering unrestricted movement. It features a low 2.2 mm drop, which keeps our feet flat and in solid contact with the ground for better control.

However, it’s quite flimsy all around and performed worse than average in our Dremel tests in the toebox, heel, and outsole. Women who prioritize long-lasting shoes should find alternatives.

We’ve seen in the lab how the Adidas Dropset 3 incorporates stability elements into the shoe and our experience backs up its support. Among cross-trainers for women, we find the Dropset 3 the best for lifting because of its stable base and reliable traction.

From the midsole’s composition, we already knew it was meant for cross-training. The heel is a firm 41.0 HA so that it doesn’t compress under heavy loads and it gives us a nice stable sensation when pushing off. Meanwhile, the forefoot is a cushy 21.5 HA and is meant to dampen impact during rope jumps and other workouts.

The shoe also has more prominent support features such as the TPU wall on the lateral side and the firm rubber overlay on the medial side. The GeoFit Sensepods offered a secure rear hold during single-legged workouts without stiffening the heel counter. Women who find heel rubs a nuisance will appreciate this trainer’s subtle support.

Amazingly, when it was time for more fluid movements in our training plan, the Dropset 3 gave in, emerging 30.3% more flexible than the average training shoe.

The Adiwear outsole offered solid grip that maintained our control. Slipping in the gym felt impossible with its traction. However, we recommend keeping this pair indoors. It has sole apertures unsuitable for outdoor use because they're vulnerable to rain and other debris.

The Nike MC Trainer 3 felt so comfortable in our workouts, we were surprised by its €90 price tag! For reference, the average trainer costs €140 so it easily claims the best budget spot among women’s cross trainers. The shoe feels light and breezy and our lab tests reveal it’s cushioning offers plush support.

Not only is the MC Trainer light in the pocket but also on foot! Our scales show it’s lighter than average at 10.4 oz (296g). It’s easy to maneuver especially when it comes to lifting our feet and moving at high speeds, a true match for agile women.

Its airy sensation is further enhanced by its seamless ventilation. In the lab, billows of smoke escaped the upper in our breathability test, which is why we awarded it a 5/5 score. No session will feel too heated or intense because the MC Trainer 3’s refreshing aura will keep us cool.

Beneath our feet, a luxurious experience awaits. We measured the stack to be a generous 30.6/21.8 mm, with a composition 13.3% softer than average. No matter how long we jumped, our joints felt well-protected from impact. However, this makes the shoe feel less stable. Women who need extra support for weightlifting should find another cross-trainer.
