Lightweight Training Shoes Frequently Asked Questions

Can lightweight workout shoes be worn casually or just for gym sessions?

Yes, lightweight training shoes perform well during workouts but can easily transition to your post-workout plans. All the things that make them comfortable for exercise also make them comfortable for everyday wear. Many of the most popular styles were once used for sports like tennis or basketball, so there are no rules against wearing shoes for the gym outside of the gym. Comfortable details like mesh or knit uppers, plush cushioning and support keep you comfortable no matter where you are or what you're doing.

What are the most important parts of a well-designed lightweight training shoes?

Some important features of lightweight workout shoes are the midsole cushioning. There are so many options when it comes to midsoles and cushioning, so consider the weather and the activity. The features for cardio will be very different than weightlifting, for example. If you're doing low-impact exercises, EVA and/or foam midsoles will work for most things. For high-impact activities like running or HIIT, you'll need something more responsive and with good energy return, like adidas Boost or adidas Bounce. Lightstrike is great for sports like soccer or marathon runners.

Which material is best for lightweight workout shoes during high-intensity training?

The best materials for lightweight training shoes for high-intensity interval training (HIIT) are engineered mesh or knit for the uppers. adidas offers HIIT training shoes with a mesh upper and Lightstrike Pro cushioning for a lightweight and responsive feel. Look for adidas shoes with the Torsion System, which provides extra stability that keeps you comfortable and confident through a high-intensity mix of strength training and cardio.
