Bootie Construction For Easy On-and-Off
Okay, fine, we'll do some cardio. But it better feel like we're running on a cloud of angel butts. These shoes fit the bill. And the Ultra Heel technology provides a seamless fit to keep you locked in for a cushy ride.

TriBase Outsole, Medial Rope Grip
Billed as a cross trainer and aimed at the CrossFit market, it's actually more suitable for lifting given the firm midsole. Very stable and tough, but with just enough flexibility for comfort and performance.

NOBULL Knit Runners
From Amazon
Lightweight, Breathable, Stretch Knit Upper

Versatile Cross Trainer Weighing Only 300 Grams

Powerbax TPU Plate, Hook and Loop Closures
