Las 7 Mejores Zapatillas De Gimnasia Para Hombres

The Reebok Nano X4 has a steady and sturdy structure without compromising agility, allowing us to train with full intensity without any worries. From lifts to cardio sessions, we felt fully confident since it excelled in our stability and durability lab tests. With its versatility and ease of use, we found it to be the best gym shoe for men.

Performing explosive movements and static exercises was a breeze because of its Lift and Run Chassis that prevents excessive lateral movements. Twisting the shoe took much effort so we awarded it a 4/5 torsional rigidity score, effectively stabilizing our feet.

Our lab tests show it takes a lot to break this shoe, perfect for men who prioritize durability. From rope climbs, and careless on-and-offs, to ground friction, Nano X4 could take it all! It earned a remarkable 4/5 durability score in the toebox and heel, while underfoot, it showed minimal 0.5 mm damage vs. the 1.1 mm average.

Despite its tough nature, it doesn’t sacrifice ease of movement. Our feet enjoyed its light feel, which our scales confirmed with an 11.7 oz (322g) reading. For all the support it offers, it’s only slightly heavier than the 10.8 oz (305g) average.

However, men who do hardcore lifting and running should invest in a more specific training shoe. Nano X4 is an all-rounder but is a master of none.

A solid HIIT shoe requires stability, ease of movement, and cushioning—the Nike Free Metcon 6 ticks all these boxes during our heart-pumping sessions. Our lab confirms it’s the most flexible shoe in the market so far, but what’s amazing is that we still felt surefooted, which is why it undoubtedly leads the HIIT category among men’s gym shoes.

The Free Metcon 6 cleverly integrates support into this flexible shoe, as we discovered a firmer 27.8 HA cushion under the heel after slicing the midsole in half. This is perfect for men seeking stability while feeling agile. Besides this, it has a spacious base, which boosts ground connectedness and steadiness. Our caliper shows a massive 113.9/94.4 mm midsole vs. the 110.6/87.3 mm average.

Even with its wide midsole, it never felt too bulky. On the contrary, Free Metcon 6 feels barely there. Our scales confirm it’s only 9.7 oz (274g), 11.3% lighter than average. Its exceptional flexibility adds to its weightless feel too. While the average trainer needs 17.8N to bend to 90 degrees, this shoe only needs 4.3N, the lowest we’ve seen so far.

Whenever we performed repetitive jumps, we felt comfortable and had enough cushion beneath our feet. Our durometer confirms it’s 41.1% softer than average.

However, its sock-like fit is quite a nuisance when putting the shoe in, especially for men with voluminous feet.

The Nike Metcon series makes waves in the training scene again as the v9 emerges as our ultimate CrossFit men’s gym shoe. It offered a sturdy base, impressive grip, and adaptive flexibility that helped us perform a wide range of WOD exercises with maximum effort. Our lab assessments confirm its low profile boosts ground connection and control while ensuring we can still perform fluid movements with ease.

Metcon 9 offers unwavering support, particularly for lifting, a great training partner for men who want to increase weights over time. It features a below-average 21.5/16.0 mm stack that’s 16.2% firmer than average so it doesn’t compress under heavy loads. Additionally, we found a sturdy Hyperlift plastic under the heel for extra stability.

The wide midsole and reliable traction instill confidence as we perform various movements. Our caliper shows an above-average 116.9/95.0 mm base, offering extra ground coverage for enhanced sensitivity. Even on slippery floors, the outsole offered the traction we needed for lunges, burpees, and lifts.

This trainer proves stable shoes don’t have to feel too rigid. It took minimal effort to perform foot-bending workouts such as planks. Our bend test confirms it's at par with the average in terms of flexibility.

However, men seeking a well-ventilated experience will be disappointed with Metcon 9. Scoring only 3/5 in our smoke test, we recommend finding a more breathable shoe for heated sessions.

The strong foothold we experienced in the Nike Romaleos 4 is incomparable. It’s so good and effective that it’s highly suitable for professional and serious lifters. We felt so secure with its firm embrace and its unwavering support underfoot. Our lab test confirms no compressions whatsoever under heavy loads, making it our ultimate weightlifting gym shoe for men.

The rear part of our foot is locked in thanks to the extended TPU walls and unforgiving heel counter that received a 5/5 rigidity rating in our assessment. From the top, two Velcro straps facing opposite directions keep us centered and balanced, enhancing stability that’s crucial for lifting.

The midsole is the toughest lifter we’ve measured so far with a 97.0 HA durometer reading, ensuring men can carry the heaviest of loads without the platform collapsing. It also has a spacious 111.5/91.3 mm midsole to allow us to find our footing.

Despite its brute façade, it feels comfortable thanks to the padded upper that wraps around our foot. However, it leaves minimal room for ventilation. We cannot recommend this trainer to men who don’t like feeling stuffy and sweaty inside the shoe.

The Nike Air Zoom TR 1 has a comfortable and energetic midsole that ensures we can perform repetitive jumps and explosive workouts enjoyably and with zero pain. We indulged in its soft feel, which our lab test confirmed, while its confidence-inspiring traction fueled us to perform at full force. Based on our experience and lab results, the Air Zoom TR 1 is our top cardio gym shoe for men.

We performed intense high-impact workouts repetitively and found ourselves wanting to do more. The cushion protected our joints as we performed burpees, jump ropes, and high knees. Pushing our durometer against the foam, it emerged 26.3% softer than average. Besides its plush sensation, the Air Zoom unit consistently offered responsiveness that made the exercises feel effortless.

We also had no issues with stability, which makes it suitable for men who want to complete workouts worry-free. We felt surefooted the whole time and the super grippy outsole made us feel even more secure. It gave us control over slippery gym floors, allowing us to do various footwork with ease and speed. Our durometer shows the rubber is 8.9% softer than average, which usually translates to better traction based on our lab observations.

However, men who sweat a lot and need ventilation will struggle to finish heated workouts in this airtight shoe. If breathability is a must, we can’t recommend this trainer.

From its stack to its drop to its weight and flexibility, our lab tests confirm the New Balance Minimus TR v2 is a stripped-down trainer that’s simple yet effective. It feels barely there as we move freely and effortlessly with its low profile that enhances surface sensitivity. Clearly, it’s our best minimalist gym shoe for men.

Minimus TR v2’s weightlessness is undeniable the moment we wore it. Our scales validate it’s only 8.9 oz (251g), 17.7% below average. Its bendability adds to its airy feel, which is a plus for men seeking versatility. From twisting to bending our forefoot, it offered minimum resistance. Our lab tests backed up our senses with a 1/5 torsional rigidity rating and a flexibility score 38.8% above average.

We attribute the features above to its low stack. Our caliper shows it’s only 14.0/11.8 mm vs. the 24.8/18.4 mm average, boosting ground feel and therefore, improving our control over our movements. Plus, its minimal 2.2 mm drop heightens the barefoot experience. While this is great for agility and easy movement, it lacks impact protection for cardio exercises and repetitive jumps. Men who prefer more cushioning should find another option.

Maximum comfort for a minimal cost, our lab shows the Nike MC Trainer 3 offers exceptional cushioning, a refreshing aura, and impressive versatility for only €90. Our feet attest to all its delightful features as we experienced free movement and gentle landings while training with this shoe. Given that it’s at a 34.2% discount vs. the average trainer, this performer is our best-budget men’s gym shoe.

Our muscles thanked us for wearing this trainer during repetitive jumps and warm-up runs. It’s well-cushioned and feels supportive. Our caliper confirms an above-average 30.6/21.8 mm stack, while our durometer shows the foam is 13.3% softer than average.

As a well-ventilated space, comfort is further intensified during heated sessions. We pumped smoke into the shoe, and it flowed out seamlessly, earning it a perfect 5/5 breathability score. It feels great not to have our body heat and sweat trapped inside the shoe, making it highly suitable for men who need unobstructed airflow.

Easy on the pocket and foot, our scales reveal MC Trainer 3 is only 10.4 oz (296g). Being lighter than average, it feels easier to control our footwork at high speeds. However, we find that it lacks support for serious male lifters and overpronators. We recommend finding a more stable shoe for a more secure feel.
