The best training shoes for women will assist you to get the most out of your workouts. That’s why it’s essential to wear the appropriate footwear for the specific exercise you are doing. Different workouts require different women’s workout shoes. That’s why we will discuss the best women’s shoes for every type of workout, so you can always get the most from your sweat sessions! 

First, consider which socks you’ll wear with the shoes. The thickness of the socks will impact the way the sneakers fit. I’ve been wearing these performance socks exclusively for years. I love them because they do not move. I never have to give them a second thought when working out (I even converted my husband). With athletic shoes, try them on in the socks you plan on using to workout. Also, the best training shoes womens should be comfortable from the moment you put them on.

Best Training Shoes for Women

1. RUNNING SHOES

These soft, cushiony shoes, are the ones most of us think of when we think of running shoes. Running sneakers will feel light in your hands, have breathable mesh, and have arch support. My recommendation is the flyknit, a shoe I continue to re-buy when the last pair runs out. They are lightweight, stable, and assists in all 3 phases of the running cycle (toe-off, mid-stance, and cushion at contact). You can usually catch the older models of this shoe on sale. When training for long distance running, you’ll enjoy the breathable mesh upper layer and durable rubber outsole. These are the best womans workout shoes for running.

2. WEIGHT training, HITT WORKOUT shoes, gym workout shoes for ladies

For weight training or high-intensity training workouts (HITT), look for a flat-bottom, rigid sole shoe that provides stability for squats, deadlifts, and high impact plyometric exercises. These shoes will lower the risk of injury because you’re not landing or lifting on an unstable, cushiony shoe (like a running shoe). The one I’ve tested and approved is also one of the most popular shoes for Crossfit athletes – the Metcon. It proves a low, flat, and wide heel that improves stability and an enhanced grip. It’s a bit pricey but the nike metcons are worth it for stable support. Next time you’re planning gym workouts, like lifting weights or box jumps, reach for this shoe. These are the best womens shoes for working out.

3. LIFESTYLE SHOES & CROSS-TRAINing shoes

Most other athletic shoes fall under this category. I have to recommend one of my favorite comfortable shoes (pictured above), the Air Max. Even though they are designed as a lifestyle shoe, they are extremely comfortable and have serious look appeal. They are also great for flat feet or for those suffering from plantar fasciitis. Although I can’t recommend them to run a marathon, I’ve worn them for weight lifting, to teach studio classes in, and walk the dog in. 

4. CYCLING / SPIN SHOES

Cycling shoes have a smooth, rigid sole made of composite or carbon fiber. The stiffness of the shoe allows for more energy transfer into the pedals, which is why the right cycling shoes will last years when running shoes need replacing every few months. There are many great brands on Amazon at around $100. Sidi’s are my personal favorite due to their incredibly rigid sole and long-lasting wear. Remember, the clips are sold separately. For more information, I dive into the details of spin clips & shoes in this blog post.

When I moved to Dallas from Miami 8 years ago, I had no idea how much my life would change. The community welcomed me with open arms and I’m so grateful for that. I met my husband here, started our family, formed beautiful friendships, and got to sweat with the most amazing people. ⁣

After much thought and soul searching, Hubs and I decided to make the move north, so Blake will grow up closer to his family in IN and PA. We are building a house with lots of room for him to run 🏡⁣
