- Is the Alpha Trainer 6 Premium good for heavy squats?
- It works for moderate lifting, but the soft Air Max heel compresses under heavy loads. Lifters chasing maximum stability should look at flatter, firmer training shoes.
- How does it compare with the standard Alpha Trainer 6?
- The Premium version adds upgraded materials and finish on the same Air Max and foam platform. Performance is close; the difference is mostly looks and feel.
- Does it fit true to size?
- It runs true to size with a wide, roomy fit. Shoppers between sizes or with narrow feet may want to size down.
- Can I run in these shoes?
- Short treadmill or warm-up runs are fine thanks to the heel cushioning. They are heavier than running shoes and not built for long distances.
- Are they waterproof?
- No. The mesh and textile upper is breathable but not waterproof, so they wet through in rain.
- What is the shoe best used for?
- Cross training, lifting, and all-round gym sessions. They also work as casual gym-to-street shoes.
