HIIT Shoes

Q: What shoes are good for high impact exercise?

Cross-trainers work well for a variety of high-impact activities like running, jumping, burpees and lunges. When choosing HIIT shoes, look for ones with cushioning and shock absorption for support. High-impact exercise can put strain on your joints, so make sure you feel properly supported when you move.

Q: Can I wear running shoes for HIIT?

Running is a high-impact activity, so running shoes are great for short and long runs on and off the treadmill and running drills. However, running shoes are designed specifically for the forward motion of running and don't provide support or stability for side-to-side movements or for jumping. Choose HIIT shoes or cross-trainers to cover a variety of high-impact exercises beyond running.

Q: What is considered high-intensity training shoes?

High-intensity training shoes are cross-trainers designed to absorb shock and provide a stable ride during forward, lateral and jumping movements. HIIT workouts contain a variety of exercises from cardio to strength training, so HIIT-specific shoes provide more comprehensive support than running or weightlifting shoes.

Q: How do I choose the right shoes for HIIT workouts?

The right HIIT shoe should offer responsive cushioning for explosive movements alongside enough lateral support to handle quick directional changes safely. Look for a lightweight, breathable upper that locks the foot in place, a grippy outsole for multidirectional stability, and a midsole that absorbs impact without feeling sluggish during burpees or jump squats. adidas Rapidmove training shoes are built for this kind of training, with the Rapidmove Pro and Rapidmove ADV 2 using a responsive Lightstrike Pro midsole and supportive upper construction designed for fast-paced class-based workouts.

Go feet first into your toughest training. Versatile HIIT shoes from adidas give you the support you need to ramp up your workout. Look for a dual-density midsole with a stiff heel that adds stability as you lift, along with a softer forefoot for extra flexibility during agility and mobility exercises. A padded collar on HIIT sneakers offers supreme comfort so you can focus on every rep, whilst a rubber outsole supplies traction from start to finish. Browse for your favourite colour, dial in your look and get to work.
