What are the best gym shoes?

I’ve been trying to find the right gym shoes, and honestly, it’s more confusing than I expected. There are so many options out there, and everyone seems to recommend something different depending on the type of workout they do.

Some people say you should look for gym shoes with strong stability for weight training, while others suggest lightweight and flexible ones if you do more cardio or HIIT. I’ve also read that cushioning matters a lot, especially if you spend time running on the treadmill or doing jumping exercises. At the same time, too much cushioning might not be ideal for lifting because it can reduce balance.

Another thing I’m curious about is durability. Good gym shoes should probably handle different activities like squats, lunges, short runs, and general workouts without wearing out quickly. Breathability also seems important since sweaty feet during workouts can get uncomfortable.

Right now, I’m trying to figure out what features actually matter the most when choosing gym shoes. Should I prioritise grip, flexibility, cushioning, or overall support? Or is it better to have different shoes for different workouts?

For those of you who work out regularly, what kind of gym shoes do you use and why? I’d love to hear your experiences and any tips before I buy my next pair.

What else can I help you with?

Should you ever wear cheer shoes outside?

NO! NEVER! Cheer shoes are ment for the gym and only the gym (gym as in cheer gym NOT P.E) If your currantly using cheer shoes outside or in your gym CLASS, you need to get a pair of running tennis shoes asap! Cheer shoes are ment for the CHEER gym because of the special texture on the bottom of the shoe. It keeps it from slipping on wood floor. If you wear them outside for a long time, their ruined. If you ever wonder why everybody elses cheer shoes look so much better and whiter than yours, (if you have multiple big stains of brown on your shoes) START BEGGING FOR *REAL* RUNNING SHOES. Please I am a cheer coach i cant stress enough about my girls shoes. Parents if your reading this, you NEED to get your kid a pair of real tennies now. Thank you. I hope this gave you some helpful info.
