10/10 for HIIT & style
Just bought my third pair of Metcons. I absolutely love these shoes! Not only are they aesthetically showstoppers, they are great quality shoes. I use mine regularly, 4-5x/week during HIIT classes and for walking around, and they hold up very well and offer the perfect support for alternating between running/walking and strength/lifting. I wouldn't recommend them for running longer distances, but they're good for just the walking around. I have found the perfect workout shoe (for me) and will continue to get these! Others have mentioned that these run small, but mine have been true to size... Show more

A better Metcon has arrived!
My all-time favorite Nike shoe has been the Nike Free runs, in particular the 2018 version. Since it’s no longer made, I have been on the hunt to find a comparable shoe to the one I’ve loved for so long. One of the employees at the Nike store suggested I should to try the Metcon 5, and I loved them. However, the Metcon 6 are an even better shoe! This version is a lot more comfortable then it’s predecessor. This version does not have that rubbery/wax lining right between the platform and the laces, making the shoe more flexible. It also has the little strap on the heel that allows you to put your finger through it to pull the shoe in when you are putting them on. These are small little details, but noticeable enough to make the shoe much better. I wear these shoes ...

Basically, these are my lifestyle shoes! Highly recommend!... Show more

Dissapointing, not at all like the Metcom 5
I bought (2) pair of the Nike Metcom 5 women's shoe last year, and just bought a pair of the Metcom 6. The Metcom 5 is a much better fit. The Metcom 6 women's shoe is totally different, and it sags in the arch, and the toe is narrower, so my big toe hits. Online in the pics it looks like the Metcom 5, but when you get it, the shoe is very different. The sagging in the arch is just awful. Definitely rebuilt for a wide foot.Why mess with something that works? I bought the pink pair this year, and it isn't even cute. Sadly, these shoes will be going back.... Show more

Metcon free 6
I have been wearing the Metcon Free 6 workout shoes for the last 2 weeks. I have worn them casually, for outings around town as well as for work. I have also worn them for my daily workout routines and my short evening runs. I have had a previous ankle injury that required surgery to correct, so comfort and support are imperative for me when it comes to choosing shoes. I genuinely like that the design is similar to the previous Metcon 5’s, just with a bit more fabric. I have found that, for myself, the material is actually quite breathable. I’m not saying I have sweaty feel, but they’re definitely staying dry. I have also stepped in a puddle, resulting in them getting wet and was very pleased with how quickly they dried.

I also found that the Metcon Free 6 are a lot more flexible that its predecessor, the 5’s. Making the Metcon Free 6, in my opinion exceptionally more comfortable while also providing the support of require. An example of one of the features I love is the improved sole, its soft without being too soft white still offering hardy support making my work outs and runs more comfortable and enjoyable. Let me also add that there is one feature I would love to see improved, the new shoelace loops have me questioning their durability. They seem really frail and flimsy and I feel like with the slightest bit of resistance that they will rip. In conclusion, I really like these shoes, and I would recommend them to my fellow training community... Show more

Nike Does It Again!
I’ve been a fan of Metcon and Free Metcon over the years and have had multiple pairs. These are now my personal favorite from the Free Metcon line! They are incredibly comfortable and versatile whether I’m jumping rope, doing some deadlifts or going for a sprint. They’re true to size (I have a bit of a wider foot) with enough toe space for lifting. I love the breathable mesh material and the flexibility for sudden movements. I prefer the design on this shoe versus the past ones. I’ll definitely be getting these in other colors!... Show more

Nike Free Metcon 6
I found my new workout shoes. The fit and feel of the Nike Free Metcon 6 is perfect. I have worn them on stair workouts, treadmill, outdoor walk/runs, and CrossFit. They are fully capable of handling anything you throw at them. They are lightweight and extremely supportive. I found the heel and ankle support to be very sturdy. Simultaneously, the toe end of the shoe offers a lot of flexibility and freedom of movement. Overall, these shoes offer an incredible foundation for any activity. Aesthetically, they are great looking and the materials are fantastic. They don’t show creasing in the toe so you can easily go from a gym workout to running errands with ease. The versatility of these shoes are second to none. I would offer recommendations for improvement, if there ... MoreI found my new workout shoes. The fit and feel of the Nike Free Metcon 6 is perfect.

Not a good upgrade!
This is my second pair of Metcons. The previous pair, possibly Metcon 4s, were of superior quality and fit compared to the ones I recently ordered. The upper material to be of inferior quality, and the fabric wrinkles and creases. After only two wears, they failed to maintain their shape. Additionally, the fit is different; the left shoe is tighter than the right shoe. While I understand that feet are not identical, the discrepancy is quite noticeable. I am very disappointed. Perhaps next time!... Show more

Perfect Gym Shoes!
This is by far the best Nike Free Metcons 🙌. I've owned the previous versions and it just wasn't the right amount of support, weight and flexibility for cross training. This is the perfect for gym shoes and it feels amazing when I'm sprinting, walking, and lifting weights. I love the flexibility and light weight, and when I'm sprinting it feels like I'm running on clouds. The quality is also superior compared to the previous versions. I've had issues with the previous versions and was disappointed. I love thus version so much that I bought 4 pairs! I'm so glad I caught it on sale! Please keep this design and I'm so impressed!...

TOO WIDE FOR NARROW FEET
I'm really frustrated with the variation in shoe width/sizing. Every time I fall in love with a shoe, it is eventually discontinued or replaced with a new model, but the fit changes. I loved the Metcon 4's and they fit my thin, narrow feet better than any other trainer. I've now tried the Metcon 9 and Metcon 6 and am disappointed that each new style is wider than the Metcon 4. The fabric bunches as I try to tighten the laces and I am unable to get a secure fit or lock in my heels for HIIT and weightlifitng. I still believe the Metcon line to be ideal for my workouts, but need a narrow option please (or simply go back to the original fit and offer a wide version). I don't want my feet sliding around or my shoes flying off mid-workout!!! FYI I normally wear an 8 or ... MoreI'm really frustrated with the variation in shoe width/sizing.

I don't want my feet sliding around or my shoes flying off mid-workout!!! FYI I normally wear an 8 or 8.5 in most brands, but take a 9 in Nikes these last few years since their sizing has changed. So I suggest sizing up at least a haf size from your usual size.... Show more

Women's Nike Free Metcon 6 shoes
These shoes feel and fit comfortably. I have plenty of room in the toe box area and they have a cushiony sock-like feel. I think the design was basic on this pair of metcons compared to the 5’s and 3’s. I was expecting more details and branding. They are kind of plain. The fabric was cool and breathable. I like how the fabric is stretchy which makes it more flexible for every move I make whether it’s running, squatting, or jump roping. I like how these shoes provide comfortable cushions and stability while squatting with weights. I like how I can wear these shoes for hours without my feet being tired or hurting. The only thing I would change is the design. I would add a little more details so that it’s not too plain but I would still recommend, they are good shoes.... Show more
