FAQs
What is the main difference between Metcon and Free Metcon?
The Metcon line typically offers a firmer, more stable platform for lifting, while the Free Metcon integrates Nike Free technology for enhanced flexibility and a more natural feel, especially in the forefoot.
Are these shoes good for CrossFit?
Yes, the Nike Free Metcon 6 is well-suited for CrossFit due to its combination of lifting stability and flexibility for dynamic movements commonly found in WODs.
Can I wear these for everyday walking?
While comfortable, their design is performance-oriented. For extensive walking or casual wear, a shoe with more general cushioning might be preferred, but they can be worn casually for shorter durations.
What is the purpose of the 'Free' technology in this shoe?
Nike Free technology aims to mimic the feeling of bare feet, providing a more natural range of motion and flexibility, particularly in the forefoot of the shoe.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to Nike's official sizing chart and measure your foot length. For training shoes, a snug fit is generally recommended, but ensure there is enough room in the toe box for comfort during exertion.
What activities are these shoes NOT recommended for?
These shoes are not designed for long-distance running, trail running, or sports requiring specialized support like basketball or aggressive court sports.
How durable is the outsole?
The outsole is constructed with durable rubber compounds designed to withstand the abrasion of various training surfaces and activities, offering good longevity for its intended use.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot, and ensure your socks are not overly thick. If the issue persists after breaking them in, consider if a different size or width is needed.
Slipping during lateral movements
Ensure the laces are tied securely. Check that the outsole is clean and free of debris. The shoe's traction is optimized for most gym surfaces; consider the specific surface if issues continue.
Lack of cushioning for running
The Free Metcon 6 is optimized for training, not long-distance running. For dedicated running, a shoe with more specialized cushioning is recommended.
Sole feels stiff
New shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter workouts initially and gradually increase duration to allow the materials to adapt to your foot.
