Men's Fitness Shoes: Training Stability & Gym Support

Fitness is now a sport practiced by both men and women, for its benefits on physical and mental health, but not only that. It also helps sculpt the body and highlight muscles, much to the delight of men! So, for them to be able to devote themselves to their strength training sessions, biking or CrossFit, they need to equip themselves accordingly. To do this, fitness shoes must be chosen carefully, in order to benefit from cushioning, stability and comfort. With this in mind, i-Run offers you a short guide on choosing fitness trainers.

Fitness shoes for men: our practical advice

Since the right choice of fitness shoes helps improve performance and the conditions of your session, it is essential to choose the pair that guarantees maximum satisfaction. To do this, there are various parameters to take into account, starting with the nature of the activity. To find out more, we share our selection advice:

Take your sports practice into account

Whether in terms of intensity, impact or speed, the type of fitness activity has a direct impact on the choice of shoes. For this reason, please note that:

• fans of squats and other strength training exercises should prioritize stable shoes above all. To do this, the outsole is the element to check on your pair of trainers.
• users of elliptical machines and other ergometers will prefer very lightweight and breathable shoes for their cardio fitness sessions.
• CrossFit and intensive training enthusiasts will favor the grip and flexibility of their shoes. For this, we recommend the Reebook Nano X3 model, a model that meets the demands of training such as CrossFit WODs, for example.

Choose the right size

Depending on the shoe brand chosen, you should know that the size must be chosen according to foot length. Indeed, by measuring your foot length, you can identify the size best suited to your feet using a size guide. To better understand, note that if the size is 28.5 cm, your European size is 44 and your US size is 10.5 at Reebok.

Prioritize comfort

Whether low-cut or high-cut fitness trainers, the main thing is that they are comfortable. To do this, it is necessary to choose:

• a breathable model that keeps you dry.
• an ergonomic midsole, to benefit from excellent support.
• a mesh upper to ensure good ventilation in all circumstances.
• appropriate lacing, to enjoy good support.

Choose the model that fits your budget

Setting the budget allocated to your fitness shoes allows you, first of all, to refine your search. Secondly, it gives you the opportunity to make the right choice. As a result, at i-Run, there is something for every budget, with Nike trainers at 160 euros and Asics shoes at 60 euros.
