Looking for gym shoes - Cross Fit shoes question

[ybg]

As the title says, I am looking for new gym shoes.

To be specific, I am not looking for lifting shoes, I would like something that would be easy to walk in and provide a solid base for some lifts.

During the last decade in the gym, I have been wearing my old dunks, vandals and the like which were decent for squatting/deadlifting. These days I am walking to and from the gym and I find a pair that I am currently wearing to be a bit stiff and not so comfortable for the 15 min. walk to the gym.

My question is about some shoes that I recently found (online, haven't tried anything yet) that are "Cross Fit rated" lol. A couple examples are Nike Metcon, Reebok Nano 9 etc.

Has anyone tried them or wears them in the gym? Do you think that they would fit for what I need them? If yes, please suggest some popular shoes that I should try.

Love the Reebok Legacy Lifters.

Have had my pair for the last year,...Holding up great, very solid/sturdy!

*Update, re-read your post...Dont think you’re gonna wanna walk 15 min outdoors in the legacy’s (although I do elliptical cardio with them just fine)

It’s certainly a compromise you’re looking to make with an actual lifting shoe that can do cardio etc...

My flat feet love the Metcons in and out of the gym. Whatever you get, last years mode for 1/2 price is the way to go.

Thank you all for the replies. I didn’t realize that this kind of shoes was so popular. I ended up getting the Nano X due to limited size availability of other models.
