Nike Unisex Metcon 6 Gymnastics Shoe

Product Information

You might feel the narrowness of the Nike Metcon shoes after a long day – that’s where it bothered me the most (a long day walking or on your feet can leave your feet slightly swelled. When it comes to concluding and rating the Metcon 6, we’ve rated it against the main criteria for a all-round training shoe… Nike Metcon 6 for RUNNING There appeared to be a few style updates on the upper, but everything else seems pretty similar, just a few tweaks to improve an already great shoe. I’m basing that on the fact that most of the shoe seems to be unchanged from last year’s Nike Metcon 5.

The biggest change has come in the form of a much superior and breathable upper, made with large ventilation holes to increase airflow and also give a much lighter feel on the foot. The launch colorway of leopard print (women’s sizes), camo print (men’s sizes) and a dark Mat Fraser special edition was not to my taste at all.The fit was true to size- I went ½ size smaller than my Nike running shoes and the width and length felt perfect.

So far we have found the most popular training shoes to be superbly fit for purpose across almost all areas, bar their weight, their wide, clumpy feel on the feet and breathability. The forefoot flexibility comes in handy though, and not just during runs. Exercises like sissy squats and heel-elevated squats, where the forefoot and midfoot portions of the shoe must bend, feel perfect, never restricted by the footwear. Nike delivers a unique combination of mobility and stability in its shoe, and you’ll love it. Why? Because just like it’s predecessor (the Nike Metcon 5) it’s a bit tight and cramped up in the toe area.

The removable midsole of the shoe (that’s the part between the outsole and your foot – is made from 2 kinds of foam.
