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.

As someone who cross trains 5-6 times per week I’m always looking for a shoe that can keep up and hold up. The Nike Metcon 9 has exceeded all my expectations. The shoe fits true to size and feels so comfortable even after a grueling workout. My most favorite feature is the extra cushion in the ankle that functioned to keep the shoe snug and comfortable during long days in the gym. It also has an enhanced sticky surface around the arches that kept me extra secure while climbing a rope. Nike has perfected the lace lock mechanism to make sure a loose shoe lace won’t slow down your workout. The materials that go into this shoe are quality and outlasted the beating I put them through. The only thing I would change is adding a tab on the heel to make them easier to pull ... MoreAs someone who cross trains 5-6 times per week I’m always looking for a shoe that can keep up and hold up.

Overall the quality and design of this shoe has impressed me. I can confidently say this is my favorite Metcon model to date.

My first impression of the shoe was immediately how cute these were. I appreciate a good workout shoe to match any outfit, the sleek design, does just that. These shoes are sturdy and stable. For cardio, they are a little heavy, but not enough for me to give it a second thought. These shoes provide excellent support for any gym activity such as lifting. These became my go to shoe for evenings at the park, errands with my kids, and just about everything in and out of the gym. They are not only comfortable, but very stylish, making them versatile, suitable for many occasions. Did I mention comfortable? Because I cannot stress enough how true this is. These shoes have some miles on them and they are still in great shape. Considering how much wear I've gotten from them, ... MoreMy first impression of the shoe was immediately how cute these were.

Considering how much wear I've gotten from them, there are no creases, black is still black, and they held their original shape well. As a mom who always has a million things in her hand, a major bonus, is how easily I can slip in them singlehanded. I always have a child, a backpack, often both, in my arms and these are the shoes you can slip in on your way out. I can't rave about these shoes enough. If you're thinking about buying a pair, buy two.

I received my usual size 8 and the Metcons fit nice and snug with thin socks. I think it's a good stable shoe for squat variations and other leg exercises because of its firmness, and also a good hybrid shoe with flexible toe box for crossfit exercises. It bends without pinching my toes. The fabric is light and breathable. The only thing I would change is slightly lowering the shoe around the ankles. It barely hits my outer ankle bone and because that part of the shoe is so firm it hurts a little during certain exercises. The design is probably my favorite thing. I got the black one and it's sleek and simple; it just looks like a good shoe!

The good:- the shoe fits well, my heels don’t slip and it fits true to size- the treads are nice and seem like they would last- it’s a well made and solid shoe, doesn’t feel like it will break down quickly- the laces hold their tie well and aren’t too long or short- there is a nifty velcro strap to hold the tied laces in place and I love this feature. My laces are always flopping around and tickling my ankles or coming undone and this stops all of thatThe not so good:- this show is bulky and heavy. It makes running in it hard because it feels cumbersome- I don’t like the look of the shoe. It looks like it’s wrapped in electrical or duct tape- it is so stiff. I’ve worn them a lot and they are still stiff. I couldn’t really run in them because it was hard to ... MoreThe good:- the shoe fits well, my heels don’t slip and it fits true to size- the treads are nice and seem like they would last- it’s a well made and solid shoe, doesn’t feel like it will break down quickly- the laces hold their tie well and aren’t too long or short- there is a nifty velcro strap to hold the tied laces in place and I love this feature.

I’ve worn them a lot and they are still stiff. I couldn’t really run in them because it was hard to bend my foot properly and I felt like I was overcompensating- they look big on your feet. They aren’t a cute looking shoe they just look as big as they feel
I primarily use The W NIKE METCON 9 for cross training activities. I do like to run but I do not think they are great for this purpose. When I first tried the shoe on I was skeptical since they felt tight and did not have much give. However, the more I wore the shoe, the better they felt. They help stabilize my foot during cross training activities and gave just the right amount of support. The main draw for these shoes is the design. They have a very modern and clean look to them and can be paired with any outfit. I also liked the fabric as it was breathable and stretched out over time. Overall, these are a great shoe for cross training activities and can also be paired with an athletic outfit and worn on the go.
This shoe is a great addition to my workout gear! I got it in black and love how sleek they look and also admire the fine details. I’ve used them for running, walking, and strength training. They are now my go-to pair for walking and training. When running, I have a very heavy foot fall with the bulk of pressure landing in my heels, and I find that there isn’t quite enough padding as I’d like in the heel of this shoe, especially when I am running on super hot pavement. I have wide feet and typically need to find shoes that are a little on the wider side, but these shoes fit my feet really well! They are comfortable and I can see myself using them for workouts, long-term.
At first glance when taking the Metcon 9's out of the box I thought for sure they were going to be too big. I was extremely happy once I put them on that I was wrong because I loved the color, design, and weight of the shoe.The shoe looks wider than necessary when you look at it (or maybe I'm just used to more narrow looking shoes), but once it is on you realize that the shoe hugs your food just right and allows space for your foot to expand while moving. If you are more into the natural fit then this is the shoe for you.The heel is a lot more stiff than I'm used to for Nike, but to be honest, I like it a lot better that way. The shoe holds on to your heel for next to no movement.The grip on the shoe is next level as well, I'm in the mountains, we hike a lot ... MoreAt first glance when taking the Metcon 9's out of the box I thought for sure they were going to be too big.

The soles on these shoes gripped everything just right.The fabric breathes, but will also get wet very easily, I wouldn't wear these on a rainy day or on a rainy excursion.Love the velcro flap on the tongue to hold the shoe laces in place! That's a nice touch I had yet to see in any sneaker design.
Great shoes!The shoes fit true to size. They feel great on my feet. I definitely feel like my foot is more stable. That is in part to the soles. The sole isn’t super chunky, I am not tripping myself up like I was previously doing.I just recently started doing cross fit, and have been wearing shoes that were “not right for the job” and these have been a game changer! I can feel the grip when I am doing things like box jumps and side slides. My feet (especially my heels) don’t hurt anymore after my class. The shoes are also lightweight- a big plus for me.Not only are they super comfy they are a cute shoe! Love the simple yet futuristic look of the shoes.The mesh helps my feet to “breathe” which is a nice bonus.There is nothing that I would change about this shoe, ... MoreGreat shoes!The shoes fit true to size.

I have a very wide forefoot. No, really: I know lots of people say they have wide feet and I believe them but mine must be extraordinarily wide. I also have hallux rigidus on my big toe from years of distance running so that joint is both large and painful when restricted. I wear exclusively wide toe box running shoes daily and otherwise avoid most name-brand sneakers. Why do I say all of this? Because Nike's are narrow. Really, really narrow. I know this and yet I really wanted proper cross training shoes so I tried the Metcon 9. Sadly, I cannot even get my feet into the shoes so I have no photos to share and no real way to test them out.I apologize for the unhelpful review. The shoes seem sturdy and look pretty cool (maybe too cool for a middle-aged woman but ... MoreI have a very wide forefoot.

I was really impressed with the W Nike Metcon 9! Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect as my feet are on the wider side and Nike shoes haven’t always worked the best for my foot shape. These shoes changed my opinion about Nike. Wearing a shoe that allows my wide feet to breathe and stretch out is so nice - anyone with wide feet knows how important this is! The support was incredible and that is a game changer for me as I’ve rolled my ankles so many times. My ankles, my wide feet, and my high arches all felt supported during my workout routine which is typically going on a walk with my son and then doing outdoor exercises from lunges and kicks to various cardio. The shoes work really great indoors too and I was impressed with how much better my workout form was ... MoreI was really impressed with the W Nike Metcon 9!

The shoes work really great indoors too and I was impressed with how much better my workout form was while exercising in these shoes. Something to take note of is the bottom base of the shoe - it's super sturdy for doing wall exercises but that also means the material is quite hard and not meant for long distance activities...great for sudden high impact. An unexpected bonus was the color! My overall aesthetic is pretty minimal so having workout shoes that are a neutral color is great. Surprised in a good way with the W Nike Metcon 9 and they are now my go-to gym and workout shoes!
