And to get the most out of your workouts, you need to have the right gear. One overlooked piece of equipment is your shoes. Not all sneakers are made for the gym. We spoke with some of our female Golf Digest Best Fitness Trainers to find the best gym shoes for women.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.australiangolfdigest.com.au\/6-womens-golf-shoes-that-look-and-feel-like-a-sneaker\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">6 women\u2019s golf shoes that look and feel like a sneaker<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you\u2019re looking for a strength-training shoe, there are a few things to consider. \u201cLook for something with enough firmness to keep your foot stable throughout your exercises,\u201d Jennifer Fleischer, owner of Fleischer Tour Fit, said. \u201cShoes for strength training need to be stable to allow for a more efficient transfer of force from the ground up when you train. This stability puts less strain on other joints up the chain, such as your knees and low back, and can reduce your risk of injury over time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is much different from most running shoes, which prioritise cushioning and absorbing the impact of each foot strike on the pavement. That cushioning doesn\u2019t serve you in the gym, where you need stability more than anything else.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA stable training shoe is also ideal for improving your balance during single-leg exercises, such as single-leg deadlifts and lunge variations that require a solid base of support,\u201d Fleischer says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are three gym shoes to consider: <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/golfdigest.sports.sndimg.com\/content\/dam\/images\/golfdigest\/products\/2026\/8\/27\/solstice-xt-3.png.rend.hgtvcom.966.690.suffix\/1787847613301.png\" alt=\"https:\/\/www.golfdigest.com\/content\/dam\/images\/golfdigest\/products\/2026\/8\/27\/solstice-xt-3.png\"\/>  Altra Solstice XT 3<br \/>Altra\u2019s shoes create a \u2018barefoot\u2019 feel, keeping you close to the ground and putting your foot in a natural position. <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/golfdigest.sports.sndimg.com\/content\/dam\/images\/golfdigest\/fullset\/2026\/2\/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%2012.19.14%20PM.png.rend.hgtvcom.966.725.suffix\/1787847558429.png\" alt=\"https:\/\/www.golfdigest.com\/content\/dam\/images\/golfdigest\/fullset\/2026\/2\/Screenshot 2026-08-27 at 12.19.14 PM.png\"\/>  On Women\u2019s Cloud 6 Push<br \/>The wider sole on this model creates a more stable base for you to push off from.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/golfdigest.sports.sndimg.com\/content\/dam\/images\/golfdigest\/products\/2026\/8\/27\/xt-6.jpeg.rend.hgtvcom.966.644.suffix\/1787847601100.jpeg\" alt=\"https:\/\/www.golfdigest.com\/content\/dam\/images\/golfdigest\/products\/2026\/8\/27\/xt-6.jpeg\"\/>  Salomon XT 6<br \/>The XT 6 has everything you need in a gym shoe: it\u2019s lightweight while still being very stable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[Photo: Tom Werner] Getting into the gym is a key component to playing your best golf.
