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

CXT-3 Acid Bath

"I have several pairs of TYR's in my gym rotation. From the 1's to the 3's. These are my absolute favorite. The fit is spot on. I feel like they fit a little wider than the the previous models. I like that they have a little flex to them and aren't so stiff which makes me walk flat footed. Also the heel cup is a touch higher. I find them comfortable and sturdy. The Acid Bath colorway is fantastic. I've gotten so many compliments on them."

Better than the 2!

"I had the CXT2 carbon trainer first. They were good, but this one is absolutely better. They fixed the upper that couldn’t be cleaned, the sizing is spot on and they look great!"

— Daniel W. (5/5)

Great Shoe. Fun Colorway.

"Have always loved TYR trainers but hadn't yet tried the CXT-3. Absolutely love it. Super comfortable. Although it's a bit roomier than past models, it still moves well. Not as "solid" or "sturdy" as the CXT-2 Carbon Elite trainer (which I still feel is the best all around shoe for metcons that involve heavy lifting), but definitely a great every day shoe for training. Not to mention, this colorway is awesome. You wouldn't believe the number of people who came up to me to say, "I love your shoes!" All in all, very happy to have finally added the CXT-3 to my collection."

— Shayne T. (5/5)

Best gym shoes?

"I’ve tried many different pairs of gym shoes, and I can honestly say that these are the most comfy and best fitting ones that I have tried. I’ve had no Nikes many others but the fit and comfort on these is crazy. I didn’t even know about the brand I got them as a wedding gift. lol will definitely be buying another pair. The only thing I don’t know about is the durability. I haven’t had them long enough to say whether they’re good or bad."

Cxt-3

"Nice all around CrossFit shoe. I had a pair of cxt-2 for a long time and loved it. The cxt-3 is just as confortable and easy to work with. It’s good for runs up to 800m, supporting Olympic lifts and plying work like box jumps and agility training. They do feel a bit wider than the cxt-2 thoguh"

— Javier R. (5/5)

So far, great!

"I’ve had these about 2 weeks now and I’m pleasantly surprised by how comfortable they are. They are very stable for lifting and there is a smidge more heel than I expected as well — another pleasant surprise. They also have been great for box jumps, bounds, and sprinting exercises as well. The laces feel a little weak when I pull them tight, so we’ll see how long they last, but overall I am impressed with comfortable and stable they feel. I don’t know if these have the same slightly wider toe box that they advertise with their lifting shoes, but that might be adds to comfort and stability of these."

— Michelle C. (5/5)

I’m Converted.

"I’ve been a diehard Reebok person for years but haven’t loved the newer shoes. I’ve dabbled in other brands and nothing really hit the mark. These shoes are so good, I wanted to buy another pair instantly. The stabilization is unmatched. They actually fell good to run in without being clunky. I haven’t found a movement where these don’t support me in the exact way I need. Never change. You have a customer for life. I need to replace my Oly shoes and I know exactly where I’m going."

— Jamie L. (5/5)

Excellent trainers

"These trainers are exactly what I needed. My last pair had way too much padding in the heel, so I was struggling to balance during squats. These shoes are rock solid but still flexible enough for running, which is perfect for the fitness classes I'm in which require me to do both cardio and weight lifting."

— Wesley W. (5/5)

Great look, comfort, and stability

"I have all three generations of this shoe. Loved the -1, didn’t love the -2. The -3 is a lot more like the 1st gen - comfy and stable. My one complaint is that the back of the ankle is soft and collapses when putting them on often. Annoying."

— Daniel M. (5/5)

Amazing shoe.

"So I go to crossett in the morning and then I go to work directly after I wear these shoes all day everyday. Comfortable super durable. I drive a truck and unload trailers. Zero issues. Wish they'd send me some more. I recommend these to anybody. I was doing CrossFit in my runners like adidases if you don't know what runners are and I was just tearing the tread off the bottom. These things super sturdy tread doesn't come off and you could run short distances in them without any pain or issues. Love them. Will not be my last pair for sure."
