Introducing the TYR Men's CXT-3 Trainer. The next evolution of TYR's most trusted training platform — rebuilt lighter, stronger, and more responsive than its predecessor. At 12.5oz, the CXT-3 is an ounce lighter than the CXT-2, achieved through a new lightweight breathable mesh upper with no-sew overlays that reduce weight without compromising structure. A new external TPU heel counter — extending into a full side rail — delivers the rearfoot lockdown and stability that heavy lifting demands. SURGENRG™ foam in the midsole converts applied force into elastic rebound, so every rep returns energy back to the athlete. The TYRTAC™ herringbone rubber outsole grips every surface, every transition, every direction. Built for the athlete who lifts, conditions, and refuses to choose between the two.

The Men's CXT-3 Trainers are praised for their comfortable and stable feel, true-to-size fit, and high-quality construction. Customers appreciate the wider toe box for stable lifting and the great look of the trainers. However, some find the CXT-3 to be too stiff and not very flexible.

"This is the best training shoe I have ever purchase. I have been working out for over 30 years. The look, performance and the durability of the shoe is excellent. I am actually trying to purchase another one, but the colure I want is out of stock. R. Bramble"
"I really enjoy the overall fit of the cxt3. The toe box seems perfectly widened. However, the laces are a bit slick and have easily come loose, make sure to double knot. The heel/backing of the 3 seems a bit more rigid. I prefer the "poofy" feel of the cxt2 backing. Overall, the shoes fit great and perform even better."
"Overall, they're very stable so great for lifting. A little hard on the heel but I see other comments saying that it'll get softer eventually. I wish they had size 10. 5 for women though. Size 10 is true to size for me but I prefer a little bit of room at the front."
"I am loving my trainer shoes! They are super comfortable and supportive for my strength training days and perfect when doing Bulgarian splits or using the peas let. Love them and they are not only functional, they are also stylish! I would love to see pink ones , but the pink only as the orange is to the tangerines, on certain parts of the shoes! 😍"
"After six months of trying out different shoes, I ordered these. I tried them at home. . . they felt ok. Then I took them to the gym. Wow, the stability I got from them when lifting. . . it was just what I was looking for. They have a wide toe area, perfect for me, as I have a bunion (Even though I ordered 1/2 size up). The only thing that bothered me was the back of the shoe, it was a bit stiff, but after 3 times, that was gone. They are definitely not suitable for running, but for that I have a different shoe. I love that I feel so stable, as if you hooked my feet to the floor. . ."
"These are an awesome shoe for both lifting and crossfit - really appreciating the extra support around the edges of my foot. I wish the toe box was a little wider but the are still very comfortable. Cute too."
"I spend a lot (for me) and I want to love them but they just don’t fit right . . of course i didn’t realize this until worn to the gym so I can’t exchange . . I wear 8. 5 women’s and that’s what I got but they’re so wideeee like I. Can’t even walk comfortably. . and they’re not the wide fit :("
"It is my first TYR shoe and usually I use Asics Kayano in running and strength training and I feel that TYR CXT-3 is to some degree is not flexible as Asics shoes. Overall I like TYR and its stability"
"Durability is on point! My forst WOD was “Donny” I also worked “The Seven” WOD as well, very breathable, light weight, and solid 10/10! Looking forward to strength training with these beauties in the AM! The colorway is beautiful! MOST DEF getting another pair! Also, looking forward to trying the lifters!"
"Big change from CXT-2 - much wider, unfortunately. The toe box room is better, but too wide at the heel. Size is a bit bigger than old shoes, also. Back to trying a heel lift and lacing options to improve fit. Only worn a few times so hard to know durability."
