Our take on the Nike Air Max Alpha Trainer 5 M

The Air Max Alpha Trainer 5 is Nike's budget-friendly cross-training shoe, built for lifting, gym classes and short runs between stations. A wide, flat rubber outsole gives a stable base under the bar, while a visible Max Air unit in the heel and foam forefoot cushioning soften landings in jumps and cardio. It is heavier and less flexible than a dedicated running shoe, so it suits lifters and general gym-goers more than distance runners. Owners rate it highly for comfort and value, though some find the fit narrow and the upper warm.

Questions and answers

Is the Air Max Alpha Trainer 5 good for running?
It is a cross-training shoe, not a running shoe. The flat, firm platform and heavier build suit lifting and gym classes better than long runs.
Does it fit true to size?
Most owners say it fits true to size, but several report a narrow, snug feel. If you have wide feet, consider going up half a size.
Is it good for wide feet?
It is built on a normal-width last, and some wide-footed owners find it tight. Try it on or size up if you need extra room.
What is the difference from the Alpha Trainer 4?
The 5 keeps the flat training platform and Max Air heel but updates the upper and outsole for a slightly cleaner look and similar stability.
Can I use it for squats and deadlifts?
Yes. The flat, wide rubber outsole gives a stable base for squats, deadlifts and other barbell lifts.
Is it waterproof?
No. The mesh and textile upper is breathable but not waterproof, so it is not suited to wet outdoor use.
Where is the Nike Air Max Alpha Trainer 5 M cheapest?
At KICKS CREW, for $81.90, as of our latest check.
