They provide a unique blend of forefoot flexibility for dynamic movements and a stable base for lifting weights.

Getting started with your Nike Free Metcon 6 trainers is straightforward:

Initial Fit Check: Walk around to ensure there are no pressure points or excessive looseness. The snug fit should feel supportive without restricting movement.
These trainers are designed for compatibility with a wide array of workout environments and types:
Workout Surfaces: Ideal for gym floors, weightlifting platforms, synthetic turf, grass, and track surfaces.
Workout Styles: Perfectly suited for cross-training, weightlifting, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), plyometrics, cardio, functional fitness, and general gym sessions.
Footwear Use: Best used as primary athletic footwear for mixed training disciplines.
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Nike Free Metcon 6 trainers:
Cleaning:
Gently wipe the fabric and textile upper with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap (avoid harsh detergents).
For the rubber outsole, use a brush to remove dirt and debris.
Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and construction.
Drying: After cleaning, allow the trainers to air dry completely at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can cause material degradation or warping.
Odor Control: To prevent odors, remove insoles after particularly sweaty workouts and allow both the insoles and trainers to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sachets.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
