Picking the Best Shoes for CrossFit Workouts
Will my current footwear work for CrossFit?
Xero Shoes
Why we recommend this brand:
If you are specifically looking for a minimalist, zero drop shoe, we found some of their styles to be very CrossFit friendly (Prios, 360, Forza Trainer) - wider heel base helpful for stability in movements such as squats & deadlifts, but also light and flexible enough to use for jumping and running. Note: This link is just an affiliate link where we get a kick-back, it's not a discount link since they don't do discounts on their shoes often at all.
Inov-8
Why we recommend this brand:
This brand also caters more to minimalist footwear, with a wider toe box. We find that this brand works well if you have narrower feet & higher arches whereas the Xero shoes work with wider feet and flatter arches.

Less Minimalist Brands:
