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

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."

— Noah C. (5/5)

Solid support, but heavy and rigid soles

"I ordered the TYR CXT-3 Trainers in Black Crystal as an upgrade from my old training shoes, which were a half-size too small, so I am definitely grateful for the proper fit! Overall, they fit true to size. That said, I was really surprised by how heavy and hard the soles are. While they do offer extra support and end up feeling comfortable during workouts, the overall weight is a bit much for me. Pros: True to size, comfortable, and provides great stability/extra support. Cons: Stiff, hard soles and noticeably on the heavy side. I'm glad to have them for now since my previous shoes didn't fit right, but given the weight and rigid feel, I'm not sure I would purchase them again."

So far, so good!

"Color/print comb is awesome. Received so many compliments! So far they are very comfortable. Today will be the first day I try them for running. I wear a 10 and am flat-footed. I sized up to an 11 since I have inserts and to account for foot swelling during CF workouts. My PT suggested TYR since they have a wider toe box. We'll see after today how it goes!"

— Kandra R. (5/5)

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)

Wide toe box, very secure lifting shoes

"Great all-around lifting shoe, squats, deads, farmer carry's . As for any kind of cardio or running, these are not the shoes you want. If you would like a good, solid lifter with a slight heel-toe-drop that you can walk around with - get these."

— Corey W. (4/5)

Solid Training Shoe !

"Great shoe with stability and solid base !"

— Jeff R. (5/5)

Fantastic sneaker

"Love the colors, love the fit, great for running and for weight lifting if you don't use lifters. Extremely comfortable, flexible and durable. Love these sneakers!!"

— Tricia B. (5/5)

Awesome lifting shoes

"Bought the CXT3s because I wanted some lifting shoes. Absolutely glad I did. Flama Blanca sold me on it. Everybody at the gym is jealous. Glad to rock these out. I wear them on my heavy lifting days. First set of TYRs and I am not disappointed"

— John G. (5/5)
