Last year's The Best Shoes For Hyrox 2024 article was quite popular, so we've updated it for 2025. This time, we received 90 responses to the survey we released within the Hyrox community. THANK YOU to everyone who completed the survey and made this data possible! We give you: The Best Shoes For Hyrox 2025.

There are DOZENS of shoe brands, and hundreds of models. The purpose of this survey is to simply narrow down the options so that you don't have to do more research or waste more money trying even more brands and models.
QUESTION 1: Which BRAND AND MODELÂ of shoe do you PRIMARILYÂ use for Hyrox races and Hyrox training? (Be sure to include BRAND AND MODEL or we won't be able to use your response. We understand that you may use more than one brand/model, but which is your primary/favorite?)
Your top 3 shoes in 2025 for Hyrox (as voted by athletes in the community) are:

QUESTION 2: What are the TOP 3Â things you consider when purchasing your race/training shoe for Hyrox? SELECT ONLY 3. (We understand that many things go into the choices you make, but only choose the Top 3 most important for you.)
Comfort is KING for these Hyrox athletes. Grip and tread are very important, specifically for the Sled Push and Sled Pull. Sometimes water is spilled or sprayed on the running course as well, which can make it slick. Good grip/tread on a shoe will help you not to slip in those conditions. I was surprised at how low quality/durability fell in comparison to the top two options. Personally, I am always trying to find the right balance between performance, quality/durability, and price. But I get it. Price was pretty low on this list, and far lower on the list were online reviews and the influence of athletes in the sport. Pretty interesting to always see those at the bottom of these surveys.
QUESTION 3: How much money are you generally comfortable spending on a pair of shoes for Hyrox racing/training? (Amounts listed are in USA Dollars. We're USA based; sorry)
47 athletes said that they are willing to pay more than $150 for a pair of shoes for Hyrox with 21 willing to pay more than $200. That's good news for shoe companies! Personally, I think that if you can get a model that's a year or two old you can probably save $20-$50 (or more) per pair of shoes without really missing out on much, but that's just my opinion.
The next two questions were added to the survey this year to give readers an idea of who filled out the survey; specifically their experience with Hyrox so far. It adds some nuance to the data.
QUESTION 4: How many Hyrox competitions have you completed to date?
Around 43 athletes who completed the survey have completed 3 or more Hyrox events. That's some decent experience. I think it adds some good credibility to the results. Maybe next year we'll break down the data between shoe choice for those who have completed 4+ events and those who have completed 1-3.
QUESTION 5: How long does it generally take you to complete a Hyrox event? (We're referring specifically to Individual with this question, not team)
I think this information also lends some perspective to the data. This is a good spread of athletic ability with a handful running some very good times and many more running quite respectable times.
