Combining a technical understanding of an athlete’s needs with a strong eye for style, **Nike** has become the go-to for professional and amateur athletes alike. Measure this with a ruler or tape measure the distances between the two points that are furthest apart in [cm/in] (see Figure - vertical line).

After testing the Metcon 5, the Reebok Nano X launched so I had been wearing that and these felt quite different. The removable Hyperlift insert accommodates for all gym related activities, and is structured to be firmer at the heel for added balance, whilst remaining more cushioned at the forefoot.

The low heel height at the back did give some heel slippage to begin with but now no longer bothers me as the shoe has softened up and moulded to my foot better.

OUR VERDICT The Nike Metcon 6 is a superb training shoe, designed for athletes working out in the gym, fitness classes, CrossFit, or functional fitness facilities.Whether you're looking for the best shoes for a crossfit workout or hitting the gym to stay in shape, the Women's Nike Metcon training shoes are the perfect pick. They are made with a lightweight mesh upper with reinforced seams that improve durability and provide greater breathability and freshness to the feet.

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. With the thinnest possible pen, starting with the heel of your foot start to trace around your foot, you continue until you complete the entire foot (see Fig. Closure type: Pick shoes with traditional laces or look at options like the Metcon 5 UT and Metcon Sport that use Velcro strap closures instead. Nearly 18% more breathable than the Metcon 5, this version has lightweight mesh that keeps air flowing and your foot cool. By adding the hyperlift inserts, the heel is raised more to give 6mm more heel to toe drop for added mobility during squats.We reserve the right to change the gifts items without a previous communication when they are not available for others of the same or superior value.

Whilst not a huge amount has changed on the 6th version, what has been changed seems to have addressed these issues of feel underfoot. The low heel is designed to be flat, and wide to work as a high-stability point when weight training, or during high-intense workout sessions.The durability here has also been considered with a thicker screenprint pattern over the areas of high abrasion. To begin with the shoe does feel stiff both in the sole and around the heel cup, so I’d recommend wearing them around the home or for a short walk outdoors before a long workout, and risking any rubbing or hotspots. The sole in the Metcon 6 seems to have found the perfect balance between running and lifting job descriptions. I had a few issues with rubbing on the heel of one foot the first couple of times I wore them, but this went as I wore them in and gives me no problems now.
