DEADLIFT AND HALF: • 585 lb Deadlift PR Str...
A hybrid gym shoe is designed to tackle some lifting and running. These models exist somewhere in the middle of this performance spectrum.
I think what's important to remember with hybrid shoes is that they'll have some nuance and limitations to them. That's why it's important to cross-reference your training needs with a shoe's specificity so you can find options that make the most for your needs.
Below are 6 of my favorite gym shoes for running and lifting for different reasons. I tried to include a wide range of models for different needs.
0:00 Best Hybrid Shoes
0:36 Inov-8 F-Fly
2:43 On Cloud X3
5:17 STR/KE MVMNT Vimana Hybrid Runner
7:42 Nike Air Zoom TR 1
10:03 PUMA PWR Nitro Squared
12:04 RAD ONE
14:48 Final Thoughts
As I dive deeper into a hybrid-esque training style, it's been really fun zeroing in more on gym shoes for running and lifting.
I find that a lot of shoes "try" to exist in both the running and lifting verticals but often end up falling short and being sub-par overall.
To combat this, I've shifted how I look at hybrid shoes to a much more specific lens, and it's helped me make better picks based on your baseline training requests throughout the week.
For example, suppose you primarily want a hybrid shoe that excels exceptionally for classes, too. In that case, you'll want to explore different options than someone who wants a hybrid shoe for more outdoor workouts.
If you have questions about the shoes featured in this video or other options to explore, drop a comment below or reach out to me via Instagram!

No, they should be fine! They’re in the same category as the rad one for me. No ragrats!

Great video! Any chance we can see a review of the Rudis Journey? I would be very curious as to how it stacks up to other "hybrid" shoes.

@thatfitfriend 2 месяца назад

Thank you! Tbh, I hate them. Bought a pair and few months back and they were so uncomfortable for my feet I gave them away. That is a review that will likely never come 😅

Great content Jake, appreciated! Quick question on the F-Fly: how is the grip? I am wondering in particular how it will perform for the Hyrox sled push. Thanks! 😃

@thatfitfriend 3 месяца назад

I think you'll be fine in them, I've been using them for my sled work on the turf as I rehab my old a*s knees and they've been solid!

@Murphy2043 3 месяца назад

I have a narrow foot and still had to size up half a size in the Vimana Hybrid Runner for length. I wear socks with them, and Jake doesn't, so maybe that bought him some extra space. And I heard of the shoe thanks to this channel 👌

@thatfitfriend 3 месяца назад

Ayyy, thank you for sharing some sizing thoughts! This def helps add depth

@steelorivera1062 Месяц назад

great video!!! I most do strength training and some interval running 20-30mins and would like a shoe I could also wearing when I'm out casually with friends and have to do a lot of standing or walking do you have any suggestions oh and I have a wide foot?

@thatfitfriend Месяц назад

Inov8 F-Fly. I'd grab them and give them a go. They should fit the bill nicely!

@MrKrakuza Месяц назад

Thanks for making content like this, I'm still in the process of finding new shoes. I currently wear New Balance 990 size 13, 4E. In the gym, I mainly do squats, deadlifts, bench presses, and the treadmill as my cardio. What are your current top recommendations for someone like me? Any help is appreciated, I'm way too indecisive lol

@thatfitfriend Месяц назад

Go VIKTOS Core Gym or Born Prim Savage 1...they'll be decent for that width, however, can run a little denser for running. UA Charged Commit 3/4 wide can be a good budget option

@loea3107 2 месяца назад

Great content. I got the inov8 f-fly TTS. And I have a e width foot also. I felt there was some spillover around the mid foot and not as stable for mobility work. What would you recommend with something for lifting, running 1-3 miles, some mobility work, and something with a bout 4mm and above drop?

@thatfitfriend 2 месяца назад

RAD ONE would be a safe bet, imo

@jgkwall22 28 дней назад

Great video, thank you for getting in depth with these and actually using them so you have experience to present . I had a question, would you stay away from the ASICS Gel Nimbus 26 for heavy weightlifting and intense sprinting/stair master sessions ?

For heavier lifting, yes. Would prob be fine for most folks sprinting and stair needs, though. Thank you!

@suede2009 3 месяца назад

I’d be curious to know your thoughts between the Inov-8 F-Fly and the On Cloudpulse (On’s new trainers) shoes when it comes to which is better as a hybrid.

@thatfitfriend 3 месяца назад

F fly, cloudpulse have worked but they’re a bit chonky and I’d put them more head to head with the puma model featured in here!

@sammysmith9698 2 месяца назад

@buccianti 3 месяца назад

I’m 6’3” and don’t like a lot of these new high heel stack shoes that add a few more inches to my height 😅 would love some recommendations. Mostly casual running and gym workouts. I’ve been eyeing the On Cloud X3 👀

@thatfitfriend 3 месяца назад

On Cloud X3 or F-Fly would be solid bets, imo! Give me some inches...pls?

@tinocabral4201 3 месяца назад

I’m in between the Inov-8 F-Fly, the Vimana hybrid, as well as the adidas total weightlifting shoes, and archetype 2.0. Won’t be doing any running. I only lift weights, I have flat feet, and also hope to strengthen my arches. I also want something that doesn’t hurt top of foot when I do lunges, so more flexible shoe I guess

@thatfitfriend 3 месяца назад

Good Q - I'd go Total in your case. Tolos Arch 2 can work as well, but it's a barefoot shoe so you'll want to acclimate to them slowly!

@berrydinglejr 21 день назад

I feel like you've probably answered this in past videos, but would you recommend the Vans ultrarange exo for shorter metcon runs? I only have nanos and I constantly get shin splints, but my gym usually programs a lift with a run, and I'm a heavier lifter, so they work great for that part.

@thatfitfriend 19 дней назад

Yeah, they should be okay! I’d try them out - they’ll def feel better than Metcons, lol

@ZazBrownGaming Месяц назад

I’m kinda stuck on what to get 😂 In terms of cardio, I only really do the stair master for 20mins or so, followed my free weights and machines. I’ve got a flatter foot, which more recently my left foot arch has began to hurt abit 😂 but what would be your recommendation of trainer to consider! Love the channel and thank you!

@thatfitfriend Месяц назад

CloudPulse or F-Fly would be recs for you. Go Cloud if you like more structure in your shoes, F-Fly if you're more of a minimalist fan

@ZazBrownGaming Месяц назад

@@thatfitfriend thanks bud! I’ve come across the cloudpulse! I’ll take a deeper look into them thank you! I’ve also noticed On Cloud Cloudnova Flux..there’s doesn’t seem to be many reviews on these, would you also recommend these or are they tailored for different use? Thank again :)

@rockmorales 2 месяца назад

What shoe would you recommend for someone who always starts their workouts running the treadmill for about 10 minutes just to warm up, then proceeds to lift/workout?

@thatfitfriend 2 месяца назад

Most options should work, tbh. Inov-8 F-Fly don't miss, though, and they're a sick option if you plan to run more at any point!

@chalky7319 3 месяца назад

Hi Jake. I really like F-lite G300. Do you think the F-Fly will replace it and is it a better shoe?

@thatfitfriend 3 месяца назад

I don't think so. They have different performance intents. G 300 is much more stable and dialed for CF so it's different enough, imo

@NishankSingla Месяц назад

I am looking for shoes for Orange Theory Fitness workouts. Based on your videos, I have tried Reebok Nano x4, UA TriBase Reign 5, Adidas Dropset Trainer 2, and Nike Metcon 5. Nothing has worked so far for me. They are all very uncomfortable for running sessions at OTF, which are usually about 25 to 30 minutes long. Can you please suggest good hybrid shoes that are comfortable for running and weight lifting?

@thatfitfriend Месяц назад

Inov8 F Fly or Adidas Rapidmove can work!

@ra0333 3 месяца назад

Have you ever tried anything from Altra? I’ve been very curious about the escalante and solstice. Defiantly leaning in the running end of the spectrum, but I’m curious why I don’t hear about them more. great stuff as always!

@thatfitfriend 3 месяца назад

Yeah, I've reviewed the Solstice XT 2! They're not bad. The durability on their outsole can be "meh" though so I'm hoping that gets fixed in the XT 3 so I can recommend them more without worry of breakdown

@gabrielpina4 3 месяца назад

Check out the new flux adapt trail runner shoes i think the shoe is adaptable for anything been using it daily now for 10 mile runs and heavy weights and they feel amazing ..

@piyushvashistha5822 3 месяца назад

I have overpronation , which shoe can be best for gym, little but running and travelling and if i want to wear shoe for long day

@mikemazzi226 21 день назад

Hi Jake ! Wich one you recommend for mildly jogging and gym , i wear wide shoes .Not heavy lifting ( less than 250lbs)

@thatfitfriend 19 дней назад

CloudPulse or PUMA models would work great, imo. If you want a more minimalist ride, go F-Fly!

@prongpraison8463 Месяц назад

I want tyr but a little bit concerned for the fits. They have wider version but it I read many comments and people said it’s still narrow. Also, since it’s bigger than normal, I wonder if it’s ok for deadlift.

@thatfitfriend Месяц назад

It's fine for deads, but yeah, the wide isn't that wide, tbh. Have you considered the Reebok Nano 2.0 or Born Primitive Savage 1?

@andrewjudd9001 3 месяца назад

I think if you can build up your running capacity in Barefoot shoes a not super minimalist barefoot option can be great for running and lifting.

@thatfitfriend 3 месяца назад

Absolutely can, and I have a sep video coming out discussing acclimation strategies! However, not everyone has the patience/want to do that. For example, my mom was asking me the other week about hybrid shoes and she has no desire to go the bf route/spend the time acclimating to them. Layers of context there and def need separate videos there to cover that topic with justice

@janelee9027 2 месяца назад

Are these shoe suggestions also generally good for walking all day and lifting as part of work and not just gym? Looking for something to gift my bf and possible decrease stress on his body at work 😊

@thatfitfriend 2 месяца назад

Yeah, they can be! What does he wear currently and what does he do? I can help suggest some better picks with a little more context.

@leekellehern7 Месяц назад

Hey man. any suggestions on best shoes for lifting but to wear all day whilst walking around / doing personal training sessions / coaching etc. I currently wear nano flex trx 2.0 for lifting / daily wear and nano x3 for heavier sessions but looking to treat myself to a new pair of gym shoes I can wear all day.

@thatfitfriend Месяц назад

RAD ONE or STR/KE Haze Trainer are my faves. Look good and are comfy + baller for training. RAD has a bit more sole to it and sizes a smidge more narrow. Haze is wider and has a more minimalist vibe

@andresamell9367 3 месяца назад

I feel like R.A.D instead of keep releasing new colorways should be releasing at least 2 new shoes.

@thatfitfriend 3 месяца назад

I don't mind that they're not innovating all of the time, honestly, but it would be cool to see a "wide" version or a new model in the next year. My fear is some of the smaller brands breaking good things by trying to innovate all of the time like Nike, Reebok, etc. Curious for your Haze Trainer feedback

@krtybee 3 месяца назад

Is nike pegasus 40 good for lifting and running as well?

@Ophio117 3 месяца назад

No, it’s on the pure running side. Plenty of people make it work though

@thatfitfriend 3 месяца назад

You can lift in them, but they'll have stability thresholds. If you're wanting to double down on your performance in both verticals then I'd suggest having separate tools for different jobs. Grab a shoe for running when you're doing longer distances and a trainer for your lifting + cross-training sessions. Your shoes will last longer, too, by rotating them!
