Athlete-reported shoe use

2022/23 HYROX racing

Athlete says she used New Balance 1080 v12 for cushioning and sled grip.

A cushioned neutral road running shoe designed primarily for everyday mileage.

Fresh Foam X cushioning and a rocker-shaped sole emphasise comfort on longer runs.
A knit upper aims to balance stretch and foot hold.

Before you buy: The high-cushion running design is different from a low, firm station shoe; test it during sleds and lunges.
