What's the difference between gym trainers and running shoes?

They also tend to have more arch support than gym trainers and are generally more flexible, to help with the foot's natural movement during running.
Gym trainers, on the other hand, are usually flatter and have less cushioning, with a lower heel-toe drop and provide more support to the heel and ankle – this is to allow for better stability during, for example, weightlifting. They can be worn for HIIT, weightlifting, strength training, basketball, tennis, dance classes, Crossfit, Aerobics and more.
