Multi-function performance shoe designed for high impact cardio, gym
and studio fitness activities. MSRP $125.
Why it's right for HIIT: Durable and supportive with extra reinforcement
and protection in the forefoot area to hold the ball of the foot securely in
place. Firm heel counter and a lock down feel. Comfort and cushioning
for high impact movement. Experienced team at Global Brand Partners is
behind this footwear launch as licensee for the Beachbody brand, whose
platform includes P90X, Insanity and 21 Day Fix.
Low-profile, lightweight training shoe. MSRP $110.
Why it's right for HIIT: Designed for the unique demands of today's
workouts: sticky rubber forefoot, Fitz Rite midfoot keeps foot secure,
pressure-free tongue for comfort, a combo of comfort and support with
the brand's Qu!ckfoam and QDP system.
This purpose-built multi-sport shoe is Altra's first-ever cross-trainer.
MSRP $99
Why it's right for HIIT: The wrap-around, non-slip, non-marking sticky
rubber outsole is grippy and stable. Also has a thick, optional insole. Re-
moving the insole drops the overall stack height to 17mm and reveals the
PowerSole. Without the insole, the foot is on a firmer platform and closer
to the ground — ideal for squats and heavy lifting.
Boasting a new, highly-breathable knitted upper fabric that gives a natural,
ergonomic fit and adapts with the foot in motion. MSRP $140.
Why it's right for HIIT: The shoe has a firm heel, providing a solid platform
with added stability during lifts and quick change of direction. It also offers
midfoot lockdown, which keeps the foot secure during agility or speed
movements.
