Cross-trainers are lightweight and tech-filled. Man Machine rounds up eight of the best
Adidas Adipure Trainer 360
This is great for anyone who seeks variety in the gym. Hardest workers
will love the odour-destroying sockliner.
£65
Nike Free Trainer 5.0
A shoe that works with you in training. The bands support lateral movement and the ‘Free’ sole flexes for natural foot motion.
£85
Adidas Adipure Trainer 1.1
You’ll reap rewards if you’re brave enough to try these. Our daring tester loved them for floorwork, but avoid the treadmill.
£70
Reebok CrossFit Nano U-Form
The only shoe on this list that you bake in the oven. Seriously. For weights and resistance, these are heated to mould to your feet.
£99
Asics GT-1000
A popular choice from Asics, the GT-1000 is a durable shoe with the brand’s Gel cushioning pushing this model into the elite.
£90
Under Armour Micro G Toxic Six
They look ostentatious, but the skills back them up. The laces here are offset to reduce pressure on the top of your foot.
£90
Vivobarefoot The One
Described as “the ultimate in-gym barefoot performance shoe”, this is one of the most ‘minimal’ trainers around.
£84
New Balance 890v3
Great looking, mostly designed for neutral running, but adept at anything gym-based due to their comfort and versatility.
£80
