cross trainers

Versatile workout shoes

Cross trainers are athletic shoes designed for versatility across multiple activities—running, weightlifting, aerobics, court sports.

Unlike specialized footwear, they provide balanced support for varied movements: I wear my cross trainers to the gym since I never know what I'll end up doing.

The term also applies to people who cross-train, practicing multiple sports or exercises to build overall fitness.
