Great product, exactly what I was looking for. I train 4–5 times a week and was looking for a shoe that would stay stable during heavy squats and deadlifts. The Trainer feels solid, doesn't wobble, and has plenty of grip on the floor.
"Great shoe for strength training. Lots of grip and no more wobbling feet."
I've been using them in the gym for a few weeks now and I'm pleasantly surprised. The wide toebox, in particular, makes a real difference; my feet feel more natural, and I'm more stable during compound lifts.
They're comfortable and look great. Ideal for the gym and everyday use.
After trying several training shoes, this is the first one that truly delivers. The sole doesn't sink in, the grip is strong, and my posture feels better while training. I notice a noticeable increase in control, especially with squats and standing presses.
Just what I was looking for for squats and deadlifts. Feels solid and stable.
I was skeptical at first, but after a few workouts, I was convinced. The Mesh Trainer combines stability with comfort, without feeling bulky. Even during HIIT and short runs at the gym, they remain comfortable and responsive.
I've been using the CoreX for over a month now and really notice the difference compared to my old sneakers. No more tired feet after long sessions, excellent grip on various surfaces, and they look great even outside the gym. Highly recommended.

Please note: many sports shoes run small, but that is not the case with us.
Developed in collaboration with orthopedic shoe technologists, the Iconic Trainer offers the perfect balance between comfort, stability, and performance.
Four core principles were central to the design:
The result is a training shoe with the power of performance footwear and the look of a sneaker.
The Iconic Trainer is the model within the Artin line that is most focused on pure performance.
It provides extra stability, support and strength during heavy lifts and intense workouts.
The CoreX Trainer, on the other hand, has a more sneaker-like look, making it perfect for those who want to combine performance with a lifestyle look.
The Iconic Trainer is designed for strength training, HIIT, and functional workouts.
It is suitable for short runs or warm-ups, but for longer distances (more than 2 km) we recommend specific running shoes.
