Whatever your reason for training, the Metcon 9 helps you go further. With its new, wider Hyperlift plate and rubber reinforcement for climbing the rope, elle is even better than the Metcon 8. Validated by the world's most famous athletes, ideal for muscle fans, cross-training and those who aim high, it's the absolute reference for everyday performance. More robust and resistant The Hyperlift plate has been further enlarged at the heel for greater stability during difficult movements, such as split squats, deadlifts and autres lower-body exercises. The plate transfers weight to the ground while adding rigidity to the heel. This solidity anchors and holds you to the ground, especially when you're carrying heavy loads. A feeling of support The lace locking system attaches to the tongue, eliminating the need to hook it elsewhere. It holds the laces in place, so you can keep your eyes on your workout, and nothing else. Higher and higher The rubber reinforcement runs up the side for added strength and support: you can climb a rope with the same speed without ever worrying about wear. It extends from the midsole to the upper, for extra support during multidirectional movements. Resistance and freshness The breathable léger mesh is airy and resists chafing, scratching and autres sharp, abrupt movements. Comfortable cushioning The dual-density midsole (firm foam on the outside, soft foam on the inside) provides high-performance cushioning, for lasting comfort during your cardio sessions and repetitive movements. More benefits Rubber outsole for lasting grip during dynamic exercises like shoulder presses and walking lunges. Breathable fabric with haptic print, for a 3D effect that improves resistance, adds texture and makes cleaning easier. Flexible, durable support at the toe, so your toes can spread out when you're lifting heavy loads.
