Best Hyrox shoes: what to look for and what to avoid
Hybrid trainers with low drop, firm midsole, and lateral stability. Avoid soft running shoes and weightlifting shoes, both fail at the stations.

Hyrox gloves: when you need them, when you don't
Thin, fingerless, tacky palm. Useful on the sled pull; skip them on wall balls and farmers carry. Most experienced racers go bare-handed.

Hyrox knee sleeves: do you need them?
Thin 3-5 mm sleeves only if you need them mechanically. Most healthy racers skip them, the running disadvantage outweighs the station support.

Hyrox lifting belt: when it's useful and when it's not
Soft velcro belt for the heaviest training sets only. Most racers don't wear one on race day, restricts breathing and gets in the way on burpees.

Hyrox socks: thin, snug, anti-slip
Thin merino or synthetic, snug at the arch, never pure cotton. Worn-in socks from your training rotation, not new ones from the pack.
