Ranked #4 in Best Cross Training Shoes

STRIKE MVMNT Haze Trainer

4.1

$150as of Jul 3

The STRIKE MVMNT Haze Trainer is a polarizing cross-training shoe that delivers a minimalist feel with its Cush50 midsole and flexible design. Reviewers note its stability for lifting and articulation, though some find the fit tight, particularly for those with high insteps. The shoe's casual appearance makes it suitable for daily wear, but durability concerns include potential toe box wear and outsole fading. Users with E-width feet and moderate arches typically report excellent comfort, while others struggle with initial tightness. The Haze Trainer is best suited for heavy lifting and cross-training workouts rather than long-distance running.

Strengths

— Great for those who love minimalist-feeling trainers
— Upper breathes well and promotes security while training
— Casual look and vibe are great for daily wear

Watch-outs

— Toe box can rip from tough abrasion
— Outsole can fade with high-volume concrete use

Higher ratedRanked #2 in Best Cross Training Shoes

UA TriBase Reign 6

4.3

The Under Armour TriBase Reign 6 offers a flexible, grippy platform that excels in cross-training and daily wear, according to reviewers. It provides good impact protection and is comfortable for extended use, though it's heavier than many competitors. The shoe's 4.8mm drop is higher than the stated 2mm, which may disappoint minimalist users. While it's not the most stable option for heavy lifting compared to the Nike Metcon 10, it's well-suited for general fitness and versatile workouts.

Strengths

— Flexible and grippy
— Impressive impact protection
— Comfortable for daily wear

Watch-outs

— Heavy weight (14.15 oz)
— Higher drop than stated (4.8 mm vs 2 mm)

How they stack up

STRIKE MVMNT Haze Trainer

The STRIKE MVMNT Haze Trainer offers a minimalist feel and excellent articulation that the R.A.D. One V2 and Reebok Nano X5 lack, and its breathable upper surpasses the Nike Metcon 10's lack of ventilation. However, it's less durable than the Born Primitive Savage 1 and lacks the stability of the UA TriBase Reign 6 for heavy lifting, and its toe box is more prone to wear than the sturdier Nike Metcon 10.

UA TriBase Reign 6

The UA TriBase Reign 6 provides impressive impact protection and flexibility that surpasses the more stable but heavier R.A.D. One V2 and the less cushioned Reebok Nano X5, while also offering better comfort for daily wear than the minimalist STRIKE MVMNT Haze Trainer. However, its weight and higher drop than advertised make it less ideal for those seeking the lightness of the Nike Metcon 10 or the toe splay of the Born Primitive Savage 1.
