Who should NOT buy

We found that the nike pants air ship ebay cheap shoes amazon for women is not the best bet for people who train hard and lift heavy.

If you need a more serious trainer for advanced workouts, consider Nike's flagship Metcon 8. We found it to be a more weightlifting-ready and overall more durable cross-trainer. Alternatively, check out the Reebok Nano X3, a counterpart of the Metcon.

Cushioning

Heel stack

Air Max is a rare sight among training shoes from Nike. But there you have it - a large cushy unit keeping your heels protected from impact.

The rest of the cushioning is provided by what appears to be an EVA foam (the type is not specified by Nike).

The presence of Air Max does leave an imprint on the shoe's height. At 36.2 mm in the heel, it is much taller than the average cross-trainer.

We definitely felt a bit disconnected in this shoe after all those grounded trainers that barely ever go above 27 mm. Take the nike pants cortez men green dress sandals clearance nike pants zoom kobe 8 viii system for sale.

Forefoot stack

As our caliper measurement shows, the forefoot is also quite tall in this shoe. Its forefoot height of 24.2 mm actually equates to how tall most cross-training shoes are in the heel.

The only other trainer that comes close to these parameters is the oddly-shaped half price jordans shoes (31.7 nike pants air royal premium silver edition gold).

Drop

The difference in stack heights gives us a whopping drop of 12 mm! This amount of cushion is very unusual for a training shoe. Geez, it is even more than what you get in a standard running shoe (8.6 mm)!

So, if you prefer feeling close to the ground while working out, get a shoe with a 4-6 mm drop instead (like nike pants Metcon or nike pants dunk high olympic octagon 2016).

Midsole stuffness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a stuff material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

Pressing a durometer against the foam, we found that it strikes a balance between stuff and firm at 24.8 HA. It is right at the average of what we've tested in other training shoes.

Even taking out the insole won't make this shoe more down-to-earth. Based on our measurement, the insole is just average in thickness. At 3.6 mm, it is even a little thinner than average.

Size and fit

However, athletes with wide feet may benefit from going half a size up.

However, closer to the toes, the shoe gets narrower than average at 76.1 mm.

This may feel constricting to wide feet. We recommend going half a size up in that's your case.

Stability

Lateral stability test

It probably comes out as obvious from the previous section that the Alpha Trainer 5 is not the best option for heavy lifting. However, there is still hope.

In our lateral stability assessment, this nike pants trainer was not as wobbly as we initially expected. But as opposed to the brand's claims of "stability for lifting whether it’s a light or heavy day," we highly recommend keeping it light when it comes to lifting in this shoe.

Torsional rigidity

When twisted, the Alpha Trainer 5 does not give up that easily. On a 1-5 scale, we rated its torsional rigidity as 4, which is stiffer than average and is a pretty good sign of stability.

The well-padded collar helps with the foothold as well.

Finally, this nike pants shoe has a nice and wide footprint, the same as all the other cross-trainers we've tested (+1 to stability). At the widest part of the forefoot, the nike pants Alpha Trainer 5 measures in at 110.1 mm.

Flexibility / Stiffness

At first impression, the Alpha Trainer 5 is not the most flexible shoe for doing planks and lunges.

This was clearly reflected in our controlled flexibility test with a force gauge involved. The shoe requires a force of 27.1N to be bent to a 90-degree angle - a little more than average but not critically.

On the bright side, we can see how a few workouts can help to break in this stiffness.

Also, walking in the Alpha Trainer 5, we really enjoyed its smooth ride. It never felt stiff.

Breathability

Need an airy trainer for hot and sweaty gyms? Unfortunately, the Alpha Trainer 5 is not your best friend.

Judging by the amount of smoke passing through the upper, koston is not this shoe's strongest point.

On a 1-5 scale where 5 is the most breathable, this nike pants trainer only scores 2. It is less breathable than the average.

Durability

Toebox durability

Although we cannot expect much from a $90 shoe, we were still disappointed to see the shoe's upper fail miserably in our durability test.

It took a mere second to drill a hole in the toebox, which doesn't normally happen to cross-trainers. Basically, it means that a single toe drag can cause significant wear and tear to this shoe's upper. Not sexy.

We have seen shoes like the Reebok Nano X3 where the knit upper barely got a scratch in the same test.

Outsole hardness

This shoe also has one of the hardest rubber compounds that we've seen. At the moment of testing, we found that it is firmer than 93% of our tested training shoes.

Actually, at 90.1 HC, the rubber on this shoe is even harder than the average of hiking shoes (86.3 HC).

Just like with thickness, we associate harder rubber with prolonged shelf life.

Outsole thickness

The outsole, on the other hand, looks more promising. We measured the rubber layer to be 4.3 mm in the heel, which is a little thicker than average.

Having more rubber means that you can walk on concrete streets without worrying about wearing it off within a few weeks.

Misc

Grip / Traction

After a few training sessions, we can say that the outsole grip on the Alpha Trainer 5 is just fine. Nothing to write home about but it is reliable.

Comfort

For a budget-friendly trainer, the Alpha Trainer 5 has a really sweet in shoe-feel. It is padded in all the right checks causing no rubbing or pinching.

Tongue padding

Based on our measurement, the tongue is adequately padded. It is 5.5 mm thick, which is just average for training shoes.

No lace bites in this trainer.
