Yes — for mixed workouts, look for brands that make cross-training shoes rather than running shoes. You want a shoe with a stable, flat-ish base, good lateral support, and enough cushioning for short cardio sessions.

Reliable training shoe brands to consider

  • Nike – especially the Metcon line, known for stability and durability.
  • Reebok – the Nano series is a classic for gym and functional training.
  • Under Armour – solid training models with decent lockdown and versatility.
  • Adidas – some Dropset or training-focused models work well for lifting and circuits.
  • PUMA – offers stable trainers that are often comfortable for general gym use.
  • New Balance – their training shoes can be a good blend of support and comfort.
  • ASICS – some cross-training options provide good structure and dependable fit.
  • Inov-8 – popular for functional fitness and more natural-feeling stability.
  • NOBULL – minimal, durable trainers with a stable platform for lifting and classes.

What to prioritize

  • Stable heel and midsole
  • Good grip
  • Side-to-side support
  • Moderate cushioning
  • Secure midfoot fit

Quick pick by workout style

  • More lifting-heavy: Nike Metcon, Reebok Nano, NOBULL
  • More HIIT / classes / mixed cardio: Reebok Nano, New Balance training models, Adidas training shoes
  • All-around gym use: Under Armour, PUMA, ASICS training lines

If you want, I can also give you:

  1. a budget-friendly list,
  2. the best brands by foot type (wide/narrow/flat feet), or
  3. a top 5 shoes for lifting + treadmill + classes.
