What Shoppers Should Know
- Sizes: 7 to 13
- Colors: Black / Black / Pure Grey 8
- Weight: 11 ounces
Yes—while these are technically a wide-width shoe, they give you the perfect platform with more than enough toe room to splay out while under heavy loads, ensuring optimal stability throughout the lift. And, even with a super wide toe box, they still give you a locked-in, secure feel.
The mesh upper makes these shoes lightweight and breathable, while the foam sockliner makes them surprisingly comfortable as well. They come with an EVA outsole for excellent traction for lateral movements, and the FuelFoam midsoles add more cushion with just enough responsiveness. You can snag a pair in black, in sizes 7 to 13.
It’s also worth noting that to get the full discount, you need to use the code BTS at chekcout.
What Shoppers Are Saying
One shopper said, “These shoes are so comfortable, and they last for a long time. They have memory foam, and when you are on your feet all day, this really helps. It feels like you are walking on air. That is the best way I can describe it. These are great for walking and exercising at the gym.”
Another shopper raved about them, stating, “Love the shoes…width is perfect, [offers] stability for lifting and box jumping,” while a third shopper noted, “I bought these to wear to the gym because the toe box is so wide that my feet feel like they can spread out.” They said, “It’s tough to find shoes this wide, and my feet are thankful for it. It feels like I’m wearing nothing at all, but they still feel secure, and don’t slide around.”
For under $25, you’ll highly unlikely find a better budget-friendly gym shoe. With a price this low, the Reebok Flexagon 3 Training Shoes are starting to run low on select sizing—grab yours today.
