The Definitive Guide to Training Footwear

At WIT, training is in our DNA. We’ve spent years working alongside the world’s best athletes, coaches, and brands, putting footwear to the test in real training environments. No guesswork. Just expertise, from those who live and breathe training. Because, the way we see it, the right footwear isn’t just an accessory; it can be the difference-maker.


That’s why we created the WIT Shoe Lab. A space built to test, compare, and educate on the best training footwear available. We've collated the best-in-class from the brands that are paving the way for performance footwear, and put them under one roof to give you choice, insight and clarity.


Training isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is your footwear. Every movement demands something different, so we’ve broken down the best options into three essential categories:

LIFT

Built for the barbell. These are the go-to for weightlifting and powerlifting—pure strength, zero distractions. Expect rock-solid stability, max support, and a no-compromise design for heavy lifts. Not made for running. Not made for jumping. Made for lifting.

MOVE

Speed. Agility. Endurance. These are built for movement. Whether you're hitting a Hyrox race, sprinting, or tackling high-volume, high-intensity sessions. Lightweight, responsive, and dynamic, but still stable enough for the basics.Each shoe is measured by what matters; stability, responsiveness, versatility, and weight—so you know exactly what to expect when you lace up.

TRAIN

Versatility meets performance. These are the all-rounders. Stable under a barbell, flexible enough for dynamic moves. Perfect for Metcons, strength training, and whatever else the session throws at you. Lifting? Solid. Box jumps? No problem. Short runs? Handled.
