Strength – Metcon 4 or Vivo Primus Light Knit

Strength involves dynamic movements and heavy weightlifting exercises that demand stability, grip, and support. The most important feature of a strength training shoe is a thin, flat base. Avoiding significant elevation in the sole of the shoe will improve your ability to generate power, maintain stability and grip, and improve foot strength throughout the entirety of your workout.

Two excellent options for Strength are the Metcon 4 and Vivo Primus Light Knit shoes.

This feature minimizes foot movement within the shoe, allowing you to focus on generating power and maintaining stability
