Best Weightlifting Shoes 2022: 14 Top Picks for Squats, Powerlifts, and More

If you like a little cardio or some agility drills mixed in with your weightlifting routine, you’ll need cross-training shoes, and the Nike Metcon is one of the best you can buy. Lightweight React foam creates a comfy feel with good energy return for cardio work, and a plate embedded in the wide heel distributes impact forces for extra stability. The tongue features a tab to keep your laces secure, the mesh upper is designed for breathability, and the rubber outsole extends up the sides of the shoe for extra grip on rope climbs (if that’s your thing).
