6 Awesome Cross Trainer Shoes For Men

jordan cross trainers for guys

Not all guys enjoy runnings. (If you’re not one of them, check out the best walking shoes for men instead). Also, not all of guys hit the weight room every day. Does that make them lazy slobs. No. Doing no physical activity while housing pizza by the box full does that. But you’re an active guy (we know because we spy on you), and that means you need proper footwear when you do feel like going for a light jog or putting 400 135 pounds on a bench press in the gym.

And that’s where cross trainer shoes and their inherent versatility come in handy. We found a handful of awesome options that’ll keep your feet comfy during whatever activity you’re involved with. Well, unless that activity is something like dropping a metal anchor on your foot. In that case, regardless of your footwear, you’re pretty much screwed.

Lightweight, breathable material offer you the ability to move with ease without stinking up the joint when you take your kicks off. The Flywire lacing system wraps your foot for support while the midsole cushion keeps your dogs from barking during even the toughest of training sessions. Unfortunately, these won’t enable you to dunk from the free-throw line. Sorry.

New Balance’s MX20vs are very similar to the MX20v4, but there are a few exceptions. For instance, it has an odor-reducing antimicrobial treatment inside it. Because it boasts a stable platform with low differential, it is perfect for anyone doing interdisciplinary workouts. Great if you have smelly feet, which you probably do.
