Description

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.

Additional Info

The Technology Stack

SURGENRG™ Foam Midsole

Ultra-responsive foam engineered to react to the energy you put in. SURGENRG™ converts applied force into elastic rebound — delivering consistency and power return whether you're under a barbell or pushing through a conditioning circuit. The perfect balance of density and responsiveness for athletes who do both.

New External TPU Heel Counter

The most significant structural upgrade from the CXT-2. An extended TPU side rail integrates into the heel, wrapping the rearfoot for superior stability and lockdown under heavy load. Enhanced security through lifts, squats, and strength exercises — so your foot stays exactly where it needs to be.

TYRTAC™ Herringbone Rubber Outsole

TYR's proprietary rubber compound, now with a redesigned herringbone tread pattern for improved grip, durability, and versatility across all training surfaces. Keeps you grounded through different lifts and movements — from rope climbs to box jumps to heavy pulls.

TPU Stability Wrap

Lateral support and structural durability built into the midfoot. Adds reinforcement for multi-directional movement and the demands of rope climbs and handstand push-ups without adding weight.

Lightweight Breathable Mesh Upper with No-Sew Overlays

New upper construction reduces weight and increases breathability while no-sew overlays maintain protective structure and lightweight durability. Less material. More performance.

An ounce lighter. Stronger heel lockdown. Better traction. The same wide-platform stability base that athletes trusted in the CXT-2 — now built for the demands of the next generation of training.

Reviews

Made the change!

"I’ve been doing CrossFit for 14 years. I have always worn Nike Metcons. Lately, it feels like they have been reducing features of the shoe to make it less expensive to produce while still charging the same retail price. I like the CXT-3 because it feels sturdy and well built. There is more room for my toes to spread while the shoe feels great in the box for all movements and lifts. I highly recommend!"

— Mark M. (5/5)

Awesome workout shoe!!

"Absolutely LOVE these shoes. They are great for lifting and running! I have bad ankles and never have any issues with these shoes. Highly recommend. I workout 6-7 days a week and do Crossfit and these last for a long time."

— Rachael S. (5/5)

CTX -3 Trainer

"This shoe has a firm bottom with a small drop heel to ball of foot which is very stable for squats and weight training, rower and spin bike. Wide at the ball of foot area with I wanted. Not really a shoe for running."

— Paul G. (5/5)

CXT-3 Trainer

"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"

Great shoe

"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."

— Kyle J. (4/5)

Great for lifting

"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."

Women’s CXT-3 trainer-tangerine

"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! 😍"

Found my training 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. . ."

— Morit M. (5/5)

Finally feeling supported

"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."

— Samantha M. (5/5)

Love these shoes! They’re super

"Love these shoes! They’re super lightweight, incredibly comfortable, and perfect for workouts. Definitely a 10/10 from me — if I could give them 10 stars, I would! 🤩⭐️"

— Luis G. (5/5)
