The plate helps force weight down and out while adding rigidity in the heel. That firmness helps you feel grounded and supported, specifically under heavier loads. The lace lock system attaches to the shoe tongue, so you don’t have to worry about latching it to any fabric. It helps keep your laces in place, so once you tie up, you can focus solely on your workout. It stretches from the midsole to the upper and adds some support in the upper for multidirectional movements. Lightweight, breathable mesh helps keep your foot cool yet sports the kind of durability that can withstand scrapes, slashes and quick-drag movements. Dual-density midsole—firm foam on the outside, soft foam on the inside—provides responsive cushioning for lasting comfort for continuous cardio and movements. Full rubber outsole provides durable traction for dynamic movements like cleans and walking lunges. Breathable textile has a haptic print, which creates a 3-D effect that adds durability and texture, helping make it easier to keep your shoes clean. Also, it sports flexible, durable support in the toe area, so that when your toes splay when lifting heavy weights, it won’t feel restrictive.

Okay, first I’d like to say wow!!I wore these for the first time on a Sunday, I was volunteering at my son’s school, prepping for 6th grade culmination. It was hot outside. My first thought on the shoes where, okay, I like the colors. I was at the school getting things ready, I wore them and they were so comfortable. I went up and down a ladder, getting the balloon arch in the perfect shape.. I first thought I wore the wrong socks with he shoes, I don’t usually wear my thicker Nike socks with new shoes. I was starting to regret my decision, as the day went on, as I climbed up and down the ladder, the shoes felt amazing. I felt very supported. The design of the shoe is different, nothing really out there that is alike, which made them even more intriguing.

The design of the shoe is different, nothing really out there that is alike, which made them even more intriguing. I’m a huge shoe person. I like all shoes, I wouldn’t call myself a sneaker head because I like them all. These hit different, they are nice, comfortable and just not like the other shoes out there. Later that day I was going to a Sparks basketball game and I did not plan on going in what I was already wearing. I’m glad I wore the shoes, since I didn’t get an opportunity to change, ran out of time from volunteering. My daughter and I parked extremely far, had go up stairs and escalators and I was supported the whole time. Thankfully, the real test was when I got home and took them off, my feet didn’t hurt! The design is very simple but clean. The fabric is breathable and comfortable to wear in this California heat. My feet didn’t sweat. What would I change, nothing, absolutely nothing. I’d add more color way options. Can’t go wrong with the shoes!

FIT: The Metcon 9 PRM fits TRUE to SIZE. I have narrow to normal width feet, and they accommodate my feet just right a thumbs width of space up front to allow my toes to splay comfortably. If you have feet with a similar width, I would opt for your usual Nike sneaker size.FEEL: For their intended purpose of Strength Training, they offer good a amount of support while still being lightweight. I am a fan of how the upper mesh material feels against the top of my feet, as its breathable and allows ventilation when my feet warm up during a workout.DESIGN: Aesthestically, not only is the Metcon 9 a solid workout sneaker, it looks good enough to wear casually. The wedge towards the heel really sets it apart and gives it that signature look. I also like how the heel ... MoreFIT: The Metcon 9 PRM fits TRUE to SIZE.

I am concerned about how dingy they’ll get over time, as White, in general is a dirt magnet, especially on the cotton sockliner.FABRIC/MATERIAL: As stated earlier, the upper mesh makes me a big fan, as it’s breathable and flexes with the sneaker in a wide range of motion. As sneaker enthusiast, I tend to gravitate towards sneakers constructed of mesh, they’re easier to maintain and look in the long run.FINAL THOUGHTS: For its purpose, the Metcon 9 is a solid Strength Training sneaker. I’ve worn them mostly for my calisthenic workout with some weighted workouts thrown in. Since the cw is White, it’s expected for them to look dingy after a couple wears. If you care about that, you may look at more darker colorways. I think they are solid as is, however, if Nike added their reliable Nike Zoom Air technology in the forefoot of the sneaker, I would be more of fan! I just love that snappiness, especially at the forefoot for explosive movements. Otherwise, the Metcon 9 gets job/workout done and can pass a casual sneaker.

I love these!!!! I decided to upgrade my gym shoes and am so glad I did. My old gym shoes were Metcon 6s and I liked them so I decided to buy a newer pair. I love the colors on my new pair, they’re super cute. The shoe is also very comfortable and has a more wide toe area. This is so much better when I do weighted or non weighted lunges and core work like planks. The material of the shoes are very durable and easy to clean. The detailing no and overall design gives the shoe a nice profile.The top of the tongue has a Velcro strip to hold your laces down so they don’t become undone while working out. The shoe is very easy to get on and off. They feel great on and fit a little roomier than their true size but I do not recommend sizing down unless you like your ... MoreI love these!!!!

They feel great on and fit a little roomier than their true size but I do not recommend sizing down unless you like your training shoe to fit very tight.My only complaint is that my Macon 6s had an extra heel sole insert that gave you a little height for squats and exercises similar to putting the back of your heel on a weight plate. These Metcon 9s did not have that feature. The sole insert is flat but has room to add an insert if you have one. Overall, I love this shoe and look forward to my workouts in them.

These Nike Metcon 9 prm were comfy. I took a risk to first wear them to Disneyland without breaking them in. To my surprise they were very comfy. The shoes had enough room in the front which made walking easy and my toes did not feel snug. I am a sucker for white shoes and these had a little of black and highlighter orange swoosh. The issue with the fabric is that they get easily stain/dirty. Consider rain and stain repellent before wearing. Only issue, one of the shoes, left shoe, seemed like there was something inside the sole under my big toe (maybe a manufacturing thing). It was a bit uncomfortable at first, but throughout the day it seemed like it was less and less of an issue. Overall, comfy for walking all day.
These shoes provide a level of comfort that I do not experience with any other shoe brand. My thoughts initially included the style of the shoe which was a modern sleek style that looks great and makes me feel confident while wearing. Upon using the product, they did not disappoint at all. The shoes are comfortable and provided extra support for the duration of my workout. I use it during my workout which includes weight lifting and cardio (running, using elliptical, stair master and hiking). As a plus size woman, I often find it difficult to have shoes and clothing fit comfortably while working out, however I did not have an issue with this product at all. The only thing I would change is the shoe did run a little small, I should have gone half a size bigger.

This is actually my first time using this workout style of shoe. I’m used to using Nike running shoes for daily activities and working out, so I was intrigued to see how these would be.I love the lightweight feel of these and the center arch plate looks like it would give a lot of support. For sizing, these fit pretty snug and I would have opted to go half a size up for more comfort. The shoe itself is feels very flat and low to the ground. This was my favorite feature of the shoe. I felt very stable using them for light cardio aerobics, but I don’t know how they’d be for a pure running. The Metcons would be better used for weight training for how sturdy underfoot they feel. I just don’t do much of that as my main form of exercise so these shoes wouldn’t be for me ... MoreThis is actually my first time using this workout style of shoe.

For general walking and casual use, these worked well and I plan to use them just for that.If your main training days are going to involve lifting, I could easily see how these could be your go to pair of shoes.
The Metcons have become synonymous with working out. These follow in that lineage.Right off the bat, these run true to size. Heel lock down was very impressive. There was no unnecessary movement of my foot in the shoe. The heel lockdown from the generous cushioning around the ankle made it so that my foot was stable.Shoes are extremely breathable in the forefoot. The ventilated mesh allows for heat dissipation keeping your feet cool.Cushioning isn't mind blowing, but that's not the purpose of these shoes. They're stable and you can have confidence that you'll maintain a proper stance under load.Materials are durable with the addition of rugged rubber streaks over the big toe (I assume for protection in case a weight falls on it).Lastly, aesthetically they ... MoreThe Metcons have become synonymous with working out.

I have been a big fan of Metcons for a long time, and these new ones do not disappoint. I have a bit of a narrower foot and I really like how the heal is designed to keep your foot secure but the toe box area is still wide so you can do all different movements in the shoe.I was worried that the opening under the heel would be stiff when walking, running, or lifting, but I was pleasantly surprised that it was almost unnoticeable. I wasn't exactly sure how to use the velcro on the tongue but I used it to secure my laces which was a nice feature. I wonder what else you could use it for, but it was nice to not worry about tripping.Size-wise they did seem to run slightly small which was surprising because I have had the opposite experience with Metcons in the ... MoreI have been a big fan of Metcons for a long time, and these new ones do not disappoint.

The stark white will definitely get dirtier the more I continue to wear these, but will just show how much work they have been through :)
These are solid athletic shoes for a variety of different activities. I think they make the most sense for use in the gym or for some sports like tennis or track, but you can also style them for daily wear. They are comfertable and provide a lot of supportive, especially on the heel and archway. They fit slightly small in my opinion and were a little tight when I first put them on. Next time, I might purchase a half size up from my regular Nike size. I do imagine they might loosen up a bit over time, especially if using them for work outs or daily wear. This shoe is mid-weight and the material is relatively breathable, but still feels on the chunkier side aesthetically.Design wise, these aren’t my favorite Nike silhouette, perhaps because I prefer a flashier shoe. ... MoreThese are solid athletic shoes for a variety of different activities.

I’m not a fan of the rubber middle section, which obscures part of the Nike swoosh. I wish the shoe was a little less chunky and a little lighter. Because the swoosh is less prominent, I think this shoe is great for those that prefer shoes with less noticeable branding. While these shoes are personally not my style, they provide a good amount of support and would be great for athletes and those that spend all day on their feet.
These shoes are very comfortable for city walking (e.g., hills and pavement). I have an arch in my feet and the design of the shoes fit my feet like a glove. The cushion inside the shoes provides so much support and comfort. I love the design! The black and white pattern with a neon Nike swoosh look so fashionable and sleek. I also like the velcro strap on top of the shoes that hold laces in place and add some flare to the shoe’s design. The shoes are versatile and can be worn with a short black Nike dress or black Nike leggings and a cute workout top, speaking from personal experience :-) I would recommend these shoes for anyone who is looking for very comfortable and fashionable sneakers. These shoes are great for cardio, running errands, walking, and jogging/running.
