Footwear - Training Shoes aka Cross-Trainers They are kind-of a hybrid of a running shoe and a court shoe. This class of footwear is suitable for general weightlifting, a variety of fitness classes, some casual sport participation, PE/Gym Class, and overall use at the health/fitness club.

Cross trainers also have more cushioning throughout the shoe, while walking shoes tend to only have cushioning in the heel. You can wear a pair of cross training shoes for a stroll in the park, but you shouldn't wear a pair of walking shoes for your HIIT workout.

Cross Trainers (Training Shoes) They typically have a minimal heel drop, which provides increased stability across a wide range of motions. Cross trainers also tend to have a flexible midsole, further supporting plenty of range of motion and varied directional movements during activity.
