Best Reebok CrossFit Shoes for CrossFit
When I talk about the best Reebok CrossFit shoes for lifting, please note, that I’m referencing heavier lifting and more CrossFit-focused lifting. This means the best models for heavy squats, cleans, snatches, and the works.
Great Reebok CrossFit shoes should have the durability to withstand the demands of CrossFit workouts and provide a nice blend of stability and versatility.
Top Pick: Reebok Nano X
The Reebok Nano X is a phenomenal shop option for CrossFit. It’s one of the few models left from Reebok that I would consider a true diehard CrossFit shoe, as the Nano X1 and Nano X2 have both shifted to be slightly more general in nature.
The only issue with the Reebok Nano X is that they can be a little tough to find based on your size. Since this model is a little bit older (and will fall off this list soon!), you’ll definitely have to spend a little time searching for the Nano X with a size that works for you.
I like the Reebok Nano X for CrossFit for three key reasons. First, the upper construction is plenty durable for withstanding the demands of things like rope climbs, burpees, and other abrasion-focused exercises.
Second, the medium-density foam midsole provides a nice level of stability for heavy lifting. Third and lastly, the outsole has a split construction to provide the forefoot and heel with mobility and plenty of surface area to ground the feet.

Runner Up: Reebok Nano X2
The Reebok Nano X2 can be another good option for CrossFit, however, it does have one design flaw which I’ll talk about below. In the context of being a good shoe for CrossFit, the Nano X2 has a few key factors going for it.
For starters, I like the Reebok Floatride Energy midsole in this model as it gives this shoe a nice level of responsiveness. Compared to the Reebok Nano X, for example, the Nano X2 is much more forgiving for shorter runs and sessions with more plyometrics.
I also like the width of the Reebok Nano X2. It’s one of the most recent strong performing cross-training shoes for wide feet. The reworked heel clip is also a perk in the Reebok Nano X2 as it provides this shoe with a bit more midfoot support.
The downfall of the Reebok Nano X2 for CrossFit is its performance for rope climbing. In this model, you can run into breakdown issues when j-wrap rope climbing with the sole on the medial side of this shoe.
If you invest in this model for CrossFit, I’d suggest limiting their rope climbing use or climbing with an S-wrap.
- Best For: General Training, Casual CrossFit, and Wider Feet
- Heel-to-Toe Drop: 7mm
- Weight: 11.9 oz (for my size 10 model)
- Removable Insole: Yes
- Sizing: For wider/neutral width feet, you should be safe going true-to-size in the Nano X2. Narrow feet, size down a half size.

Best Reebok CrossFit Shoes for Men
When it comes to identifying the best men’s Reebok CrossFit Shoes, one aspect I look at is a shoe’s last. Generally, wider lasts will be better for men as men often have wider feet.
The list below includes the best Reebok CrossFit shoes for men. Additionally, these models are also great Reebok CrossFit shoes for wide feet.
Top Pick: Reebok Nano X2
My top Reebok CrossFit shoe for men is the Reebok Nano X2. This model has a good amount of width through the forefoot and midfoot, and it’s one of the better wider cross-training shoes on the market.
For general CrossFit workouts and recreational lifting, the Reebok Nano X2 is a strong performer. The midsole and outsole construction walk a fine line between being stable and versatile for accommodating different training contexts.
I often categorize this model as being a good hybrid-focused training shoe for the guy that likes to lift, do short runs, jump, and tackle CrossFit here and there on a weekly basis.
I already mentioned how the Reebok Nano X2’s performance is sub-par for rope climbing, so outside of this niche performance category, the Nano X2 is a good cross-training shoe overall.
- Best For: General Training, Casual CrossFit, and Wider Feet
- Heel-to-Toe Drop: 7mm
- Weight: 11.9 oz (for my size 10 model)

Runner up: Reebok Nano X1 Adventure
The Reebok Nano X1 Adventure is taking my second pick for the best Reebok CrossFit shoes for men. This model has a few standout performance features that make it awesome for certain training contexts.
For starters, the Nano X1 Adventure features a ripstop upper construction which is different from the knit in the normal Reebok Nano X1. The ripstop upper gives the Adventure a nice increase in durability and makes it a strong model for outdoor workouts.
Additionally, the Reebok Floatride Energy foam midsole gives this model a nice level of stability and responsiveness. This shoe is intended to be used for outdoor workouts and light trail runs, so if you have this performance ask, then I think you’ll enjoy this model.
The thicker lug pattern on the outsole is also a nice feature for increasing this shoe’s grip when outdoors. My main gripe with the Nano X1 Adventure is similar to the Nano X1 and that is the rope climbing performance of this model, as it’s sub-par and can be problematic for outsole durability.
- Best For: Recreational Lifting, HIIT, Agility, and Lighter Runs
- Heel-to-Toe Drop: 7mm
- Weight: 12.1 oz (for my size 10 model)

Best Reebok CrossFit Shoes for Women
The best women’s Reebok CrossFit shoes will be somewhat similar to the men’s, however, for women athletes and lifters I pay close attention to the TF2 community’s responses on my YouTube channel.
I also bother my girlfriend for feedback on some of the latest Reebok models. That being said, I develop my picks below by blending her feedback with the community’s feedback, and with my reviews.
Top Pick: Reebok Nano X2
The Reebok Nano X2 is my top pick for the best Reebok CrossFit shoes for women. Compared to the other latest Reebok cross-training shoes, it’s hard to fault the improvements made in the Nano X2.
As mentioned above, the Reebok Nano X2’s best features include its midsole, upper, and outsole. The Floatride Energy foam midsole gives this shoe a fairly comfortable feeling for a variety of training contexts, so it’s a good shoe for versatility.
Whether you’re lifting, adding in a short pre or post-workout run, taking a class, or hitting a CrossFit workout, the Reebok Nano X2 is a good option to explore. My girlfriend also noted that the reworked heel/midfoot clips in this model have been greater for her flatter feet.
Note, if you’re looking for a model exclusively for CrossFit and that’s the primary use for your shoes, then I’d suggest also looking in the Reebok Nano X and Reebok Nano 9 to see if there sizes available for your needs.
- Best For: General Training, Casual CrossFit, and Wider Feet
- Heel-to-Toe Drop: 7mm

Runner Up: Reebok Nano X1
Outside of the Reebok Nano X2, the Reebok Nano X1 can also be a viable option to explore. This model features a similar outsole and midsole compared to the Reebok Nano X2.
For performance, the Reebok Nano X1 excels most for more casual training, class-style workouts, short runs (<2-mils), and daily wear. The knit upper in this model is breathable and gives this shoe a nice clean aesthetic look for day-to-day wear.
The main aspect to consider with the Reebok Nano X1 before investing is understanding that this model is not going to feel the same as the Reebok Nano X and prior models.
With the Reebok Nano X1 and Reebok Nano X2, Reebok took a more general training shoe approach, and as discussed above, if you want a model for serious CrossFit training, then I’d suggest looking into older models or other companies.

Best Reebok CrossFit Shoes for HIIT
When testing and assessing the best Reebok CrossFit shoes for HIIT, I’m most concerned with the responsiveness of a shoe in the context of HIIT-style workouts.
This means that a shoe can easily accommodate sessions where you’re jumping a lot, moving explosively, and doing other high-intensity-focused exercises.
Top Pick: Reebok Nano X2
The Reebok Nano X2 is taking my top pick for the best Reebok CrossFit shoes for HIIT. Unlike the Reebok Nano X and earlier models, the Reebok Nano X2 can be a much more forgiving cross-training shoe for jumping and moving explosively.
This model’s Floatride Energy foam midsole has a good amount of energy return and it works well for most HIIT-style workouts. The full rubber outsole with its lug patterning is also nice for providing adequate traction and for multiple directional activities.
The additional midfoot support in this model can also be good for those that need a little more arch support when tackling HIIT workouts.
I think if you’re wanting a shoe for HIIT workouts that can also hold its own when lifting and doing casual CrossFit workouts, then the Reebok Nano X2 is a good option to explore.
- Best For: General Training, HIIT Workouts, and Casual CrossFit
- Heel-to-Toe Drop: 7mm
- Weight: 11.9 oz (for my size 10 model)

Runner-Up: Reebok Nano X1 Adventure
The Reebok Nano X1 Adventure is making my list once again as being a good Reebok CrossFit shoe for HIIT. I like this model best for the lifter and athlete that loves doing HIIT workouts and does them outside fairly often.
For example, if you like doing track workouts that also include some HIIT-style training, then the Nano X1 Adventure can be a really strong shoe to look into. The slightly more aggressive lugs give you more traction on grass and turf.
Like the Reebok Nano X2, the Reebok Floatride Energy foam in the Nano X1 Adventure’s midsole does a good job at providing you a nice level of energy return.
If you want a shoe for lifting, HIIT workouts, training outdoors, short runs, daily wear, and tackling a casual CrossFit workout here and there, then the Nano X1 Adventure can be a good shoe to explore.
- Best For: Recreational Lifting, HIIT, Agility, and Lighter Runs

Best Reebok CrossFit Shoes for Rope Climbs
For this section, I wanted to call out construction specs that make Reebok Nano models special for CrossFit-style workouts.
So while the heading is rope climbs, do note I’m also looking at durability aspects for toe dragging exercises like burpees and additional heel features for headstand push-ups.
Author’s Note: Neither the Reebok Nano X2 nor the Nano X1 is making the list below as their performance for rope climbs, specifically, can be very touch-and-go. I’m including older models for this reason.
Top Pick: Reebok Nano X
For rope climbs and upper durability, it’s tough to fault the Reebok Nano X. The upper construction is durable throughout so this shoe does a good job at resisting abrasion and friction across the board.
On top of that, the RopePro tech in the midsole makes this shoe a pretty good option for tackling rope climbs. The RopeTec provides a little extra bite when climbing and does a good job at resisting abrasion.
The TPU wrap on the lateral and medial side of this shoe are also nice features for boosting this model’s durability when rope climbing. Additionally, the heavier and layered upper is good for preventing abrasion breakdown when s-wrap rope climbing.

Runner Up: Reebok Nano 9
The Reebok Nano 9 is another great option to explore if you’re looking for the best Reebok CrossFit shoes for rope climbs. This model has a lot of similarities to the Nano X and is a strong performer for durability and CrossFit.
As opposed to featuring such a heavier upper construction like the Nano X, the Reebok Nano 9 features a Flexweave upper throughout the entirety of its forefoot and midfoot. This material breathes pretty well and does a good job with abrasion resistance.
The Reebok Nano 9, like the Nano X, features RopeTec in its construction to assist with performance and bite when rope climbing, and has a TPU wrap to promote long-term durability.

Takeaway Thoughts
There are a variety of Reebok CrossFit shoes and Reebok training shoes on the market. When considering the best models for your needs, I’d highly suggest cross-referencing what you want the shoes for with how they’re designed to perform.
For example, if you want a diehard CrossFit shoe, then you’ll want to note that the newer Reebok cross-training shoes fall a bit short for this training style.
