Guys, I haven’t written a blog post in ages, but today I have a special feature for you: Hylete Women’s Circuit II Cross-Training Shoe Review! Oh, yes, it’s like the old days of blogging where I share my honest opinion of new workout gear that I was fortunate enough to receive complimentary from an amazing brand like Hylete.
ENTER TO WIN A PAIR OF CIRCUIT II CROSS-TRAINING SHOES
I’m actually a long-time fan and partner of Hylete and have worn their athletic apparel for many years now. My first encounter with the brand was way back in 2016. In fact, I still have leggings, tanks, and sports bras that are in my regular rotation from 5 years ago! Anyway, check out this old school holiday blog post that features some favorite Hylete gear. Maybe only the long-time readers will appreciate it, but look how small Quinn was and, oh my gosh, Murphy was so young! I digress…
So, let’s talk about Hylete’s new Women’s Circuit II Cross-Training Shoes…
Hylete’s Women’s Circuit II Cross-Training Shoe Review
Cliff’s Notes: They are unlike any other shoe I’ve tried before because, listen to this, they come with 3 interchangeable insoles:
- one for stability in weightlifting
- one for versatility and cross training
- one for high impact activities, like running
Um, hello, how genius are these sneakers? If you’re someone who enjoys a variety of fitness activities, these shoes are for YOU! Of course, CrossFit comes to mind since most workouts involve such a variety of movements from heavy lifting to running and everything in between. Now, you have ONE shoe that can easily handle whatever kind of workout you do by just changing your insole. No more traveling with multiple pairs of shoes! Been there, done that!
Hylete 3-in-1 Shoe
Obviously, you don’t have to be a CrossFitter to enjoy Hylete’s Women’s Circuit II Cross-Training Shoe. I know so many women who participate in strength training, but also enjoy HIIT workouts and running, Peloton, etc. So instead of having a bunch of different shoes, now you only need a single pair!
I frequently wear the train insole (4mm drop) because it’s the best of both worlds as far as versatility goes. It’s perfect for cross training and workouts that have you performing a variety of movements. I’ll often switch to the lift insole (0mm drop) for strength training and weightlifting (i.e. heavy deadlifts, Olympic lifting, ‘meathead’ workouts in my basement) because they provide plenty of stability with an open (non-tapered) toe box to keep me supported and confident in my lifts.
The run insole (6mm drop) are super comfy and built for high impact fitness, like running, plyometrics, and jumping movements, like box jumps. I’m a big fan and would totally wear them for a run around my neighborhood.
The actual shoe contains a breathable knit fabric, which is durable, flexible, and cute! Speaking of cute, Hylete’s Women’s Circuit II Cross-Training Shoe comes in 3 colors: gray, black, and teal. I picked gray, but I honestly would have been happy with any of the colors! Check them out here.
In conclusion, I’m a huge fan of these sneakers, and I honestly haven’t been this excited about a new pair in a long time. If you’re in the market for an all-in-one sneaker for your workouts, I highly recommend that you check Hylete’s Women’s Circuit II Cross-Training Shoe.
