I prefer Metcon 5. The only change I'd make would be the lacing loops.. I'd put the Flywire eyelet cables on the 5, with a couple more pairs, and I'd put the loop on the heel of the 6 on the 5, and that's perfection!

Nike needs to take a lesson from this first release and do away with the solid heel on the Newer Metcons. These were the first Crossfit shoes I really enjoyed. Not so great for running but a much more user friendly shoe than the newer ones.

I am looking for a shoe which can provide stability while weight training and is good for running. I understand that these are good for weight training. Are they any good for running? Please help.

Yeah but the OGs visually look better... they're lighter...the Swoosh sign is more visible...whos climbing ropes in a gym anyway...im here to lift...Jordan colours are like Yes Sir...👍🏾😎💯🔥

How are they for walking, and jump rope

For me these are the best Free Metcons Nike had released in a while. The first version was the best one and these feel really similar in performance and fit

Way prefer Metcon free 5 for training . The 6 seems more made for casual walking and seems cheap

FYI, ya might wanna stop doing the over under grip on your deadlift, science has shown that when anybody pops a bicep tendon while deadlifting always pops it on the hand that is holding the bar in the under grip. Good video, I liked how you compared these to the 9's.

I just want a shoe to wear around the house, I normally wear Rebok 6 inch high top boots. They are comfortable, but not that light.

Are these good for wide feet ?! Cause the last free rn shoes fabric tore near small toe

I already got mine on the way

Waiting for the metcon 10 to release

What do you think? Are you gonna get it?

Puedo correr con estos o solo para levantar peso?

Hy there! Wich one is wider? I have small fit and i dont like large sneakers! Thx!

Not good for a workout timer

Great review! Thanks for the info .. but I love the GoRuck trainers I have the ballistic trainers in Lunar Rock and Black .. I will never buy a pair of Nikes again because they became too political so I started looking for alternatives .. the only other sneaker I would buy is the OnCloud’s which are pretty good too.

Hi I’m looking to get a shoe for dance fitness class , and I’m leaning towards Nike free metcon 5 and free metcon 6 . But I’m not sure which one is better in terms of durability as the other factors are very similar in both . Which one do you suggest to be the best buy overall being the same price .

Does the quality of the 6 seem less? It looks less durable

Wow its been awhile glad your back always valued your opinion

Pls do a Nike Romaleos 4 vs Tyr - l1 lifters

Coolest shoes ever

i like them, but they are bit narrow

They're good for squatting, no doubt, but I don't trust them at all for weightlifting. Very cheap material such as the rubber on the sole. I had Rom 3s and the rubber came off after like 3 months of weightlifting. Switched to Reebok legacy and damn that didn't disappoint me for 3 years. Purchased the Rom 4s cuz they were on sale and heavily discounted, same issue. The cheap material, the rubber came off after 2 months of use, and it isn't very stable either. The Legacy lifter on the other hand is 10x better. Problem with the new gen Roms is that they keep using the same cheap plastic. The Rom 2s weren't like this. They were sturdy and reliable and hence the best shoes for weightlifting ever.

I just done my Tough Mudder in them. Yes kept them for 4 years till i put them to test. They actually did well in obstacles and water out really good. However the distance was more than 10 miles, so not sure there was enough support/softness as these metcons are quite hard shoe. Now i have pain in left foot, not sure it’s because of the shoue or I bashed it during obstacle. The feet felt well protected though, lacing system was tight, so to sum them up - decent performance. Not sure why nike stopped making them

Ive worn the same pair for 5 years, no tears, no rips, no loose threads, no discoloration even when dried in the sun. Everything about the otb’s is tough. To reiterate, ive worn these every. Day. For 5 years straight. Best $100 I ever spent.

Unless u got an ass made at cyberdyne systems this seqt is much worse than the original, cant believe i got one after watching this guy who clearly as an ass that is impenetrable

They’re nice for people with narrow feet , if you have wide toes , less than optimal

I hope people understand that the OTB is used for very short duration periods and for a very niche job. Finning to the beach and moving across til you can switch to a dry pair of combat boots. Caving vbss ladders. And cqb on goplats. Anything outside that is not what they are notorious for.

Don't get sucked in to buying Altamas for the cool camo. They have a very specific function but aren't good for high miles, hard ground or cold temps. I bought them for my style of canoe tripping which doesn't involve much portaging but does require something with good traction on slippery rocks.

Careful if you need ankle support. The Altamas have extremely little due to the very flexible outsole. Good for feeling the surface but not good if you're prone to sprains or have previous injury. First day I wore them left me in serious pain for the following two.

how could Adidas make such an ugly shoe?

Looks like any hiking with any muddy hills involved would turn these things into a pair of roller skates..

I just got a pair of these and the right shoe had a defect in the inside that would stab my foot. They are made in Cambodia...

are they true to size? Or run big like boots?

Nice review. Would you recommend the Ballistic Trainer for rucking 3-5 miles on pavement?

You should wear the larger left coyote boot & smaller right black boot together.

If you’re on a tight budget for a dry bag.

Thank you! What size are the set bolt and seat bolt? The stock seat is subpar, although overall the Rogue Echo is an excellent built unit. The amount of discomfort is unacceptable. In addition, the electronics need to be backlit on the panel and upgraded with ie. Myzone integration etc.

The old shoes were so much better. Wider toe box, solid souls, lower heel to toe drop.

Instructions say "don't submerge", btw.

❤

Put this on my real bike and the metal part keeps hitting the crank arms 🤔

What's the difference between urban, maritime assault??

lol

Dude... You're like a jr. high kid. I can't even start to believe your review.

Why would anyone use those? We're not doing water operations!?

I’m in need of a pair of shoes for doing my snatches in to get more squat depth and stability which one would you recommend?

How do you extend?
