Thank you :)

[@SuShiiAeLin]

Thank you for such a thorough review as always~!! I’m as indecisive as a person can be so this was very helpful 😅

[@thatfitfriend]

Haha, FEEL that - I’m the same. Stoked this video helped.

[@capt1941]

Was really looking forward to these, but sled pushes are one of my favorite exercises. Bummer! Appreciate the review.

[@thatfitfriend]

Thanks for checking it out, homie

[@ashokmunoz1107]

Great review as always!

[@thatfitfriend]

Thank you!

I just returned mine because the bottom rubber on sides started to separating from the white base. This was after 30 days. Customer service sounded like this was common…

[@thatfitfriend]

@@Capricorn2323 tell them to peep my review 😅 What were you doing when it happened?

[@Capricorn2323]

@@thatfitfriend it happens when you put consistently put pressure on the outer sides of shoe, so if you sit cross legged or if you are in a chair and cross your feet at the ankles etc or if your shoes rubs against something on the side. the black starts to separate from the white base. It’s not very fortified. Shoe is comfortable though! Not sure how they are going to fix this going forward.

[@rachelogy]

Hi Jake, thanks for another great review. Would you prefer the metcon 6 or On cloudswift 3 for indoor sessions, light runs and daily wear?

[@thatfitfriend]

Great Q - both can work great. Cloud will have a bias towards running whereas Free Metcon will be better for lifting. I'd go with the option that matches your weekly training best from a lifting:running ratio. If you're lifting more, go Free Metcon, vice versa!

[@pturnerification]

Awesome vid as usual Jake! Wish the durability was better otherwose I'd give these a chance (currently on a slip-on kick with trainers "Metcon Reacts") Have you bought the Reebok Nano Courts yet? I want to see if they are similar to the Nano X's (my favs) but lighter.

[@thatfitfriend]

Thank you! I'm bummed, too, maybe this is a one-off shoe, though. DO NOT get them. I have a review coming on them and I am not a fan - feels like a half baked Nano NGL.

[@acyutad]

Hi Jake, thanks for the video. Still questioning tho, do you think it's an upgrade going for free metcon 6 from free metcon 5? considering how good the free metcon 5 still is

[@thatfitfriend]

Eh - upgrade will depend on what you're after. If you wanted a plusher midsole and better midfoot in the 5 then the 6 is an upgrade. If you LOVE the 5 then it won't be a real upgrade, imo. If you're still into the 5, I'd stock up on them and look for deals!

[@strongnerd4638]

Haven’t even finished the video but those are one sexy shoe…. Ok… continues watching what my fit friend says about these

[@thatfitfriend]

@@strongnerd4638 hahah, love it 😂

[@MarSer3]

Adidas Rapidmove ADV with lightstrike and Continental could be an interesting alternative

[@thatfitfriend]

Yeah, I've reviewed the Rapid and it's similar for sure - can't get myself to spend on the ADV since those are the only real differences

NIKE FREE METCON 6 vs UA Tribase Reign 6 review please .... Which is better?

[@michaeljohn2772]

Hello. I watched your other video. And now I am torn between the two. 😅 Would you prefer this Nike Metcom or On x 3? which is more versatile for workout? Thank you so much.

[@thatfitfriend]

I’d go with this. On cloud X3 is okay, but these will outperform them

Hey Jake!! Should i buy metcon 9 or free metcon 6 for weightlifting and moderate running. Or could you suggest something else?? Thanks

[@thatfitfriend]

Free Metcon 6 for sure! Metcon 9s stink for running

Nike free metcon 6 Vs Nike MC trainer 3 which would be better for strength training, lifting upto 80 kgs and short runs

[@jagjyotsingh9748]

Hey, thanks for this. I got calluses from my asics shoes. I am leaning towards metcon-6 or cloud X4 for workouts. I lift regularly and do 5k as well. Any recommendations please? Do they go size up? Or true to your size?

[@thatfitfriend]

I'd go Free Metcon 6 over the Cloud X4. True to size, I'd go same size in these as you did with your Asics!

[@riquelme9289ify]

Do you wear a Sports Smartwatches in the workout? Greetings 🇲🇽

[@thatfitfriend]

Not anymore! I used to rock COROS, but haven't in a minute - might get back into Garmin in the near future.

[@alirezatorabi1197]

Hi Jake, thank you for the great review. Between Nike Retcon 6 and Adidas Dropset 3 which one do you recommend? thx

[@thatfitfriend]

Free Metcon 6 if you're doing a lot of HIIT/versatile workouts. Dropset 3 if you want a model primarily for lifting/CrossFit

[@ldykbs2785]

I just bought the Free Metcon 6 and am using my true size (Adidas). However, it seems that the toe area is narrower than I anticipated. Will it loosen or stretch out if I wear it often?

[@thatfitfriend]

It should, but that said, if it’s unbearable then you may want to swap em out for a wider model from a diff company! This model may be too snug for ya

[@Marrquis85]

Hi Jake, I am looking into getting the Free Metcon 6 or 5, and I currently have Free Metcon 4s. I like to do general lifting but nothing too heavy, HIIT, and some short runs. One issue I have with the 4 is my toe has started to create a hole in the upper toe box. Do you think the 5 or 6 has better upper toe box durability?

[@thatfitfriend]

Both should be solid, but I’d go 6. A bit more reinforcement around the toe box!

[@Nikk-m5s]

Love the 5 but this 6 probably won’t work for me with thick feet and the sled work

[@thatfitfriend]

Ah, yeah, stock up on the 5s!

[@koifnen]

Is this shoe good for long walks? Like just walking 10km concrete roads etc?

[@thatfitfriend]

Should be okay!

[@strongnerd4638]

Finished the vid…. I’d buy these for casual use but I’d pass as far for any type of workout. Knowing the possibility that it might tear or break during a movement would wreck my mind during a workout. That’s just my opinion though…. Side note: ever think of changing the name of the channel to: Jake my Fit Bro….. lol… just a thought…. Jk. Thanks for the great content…. Keep it coming! Waiting for the Stoic Barefoot review.

[@thatfitfriend]

@@strongnerd4638 yeah, I’m torn on these because of that issue - maybe I pushed them too hard? Lmao, I don’t know if that has the same ring to it. I have thought about rebranding to The Fit Friend recently, though. Stoic will be late next week likely :)

[@strongnerd4638]

@@thatfitfriend but Nike always says just do it so I think they’re meant to be pushed hard. At least what I think

[@Rohan67873]

Is Nike air max alpha trainer 5 or 6 Good for workout squats and leg workouts , short runs and cycling

[@thatfitfriend]

It can be! If you're newer to lifting then they should work, but as you get more serious with weights/running distances you'll likely want to find something a little more specific for comfort and performance reasons!

[@mariasmirnova6914]

I have flat feet and I start to feel a lot of pain in the middle of my feet already after 15min of active training. Can you recommend similar shoes that don’t have this issue and fits for group training classes like hiit, body pump, step and etc? Thank you in advance (I do lifting in my socks usually)

[@thatfitfriend]

@@mariasmirnova6914 what do you wear currently for that type of training?

[@mariasmirnova6914]

I used basic running shoes for step aerobics, body pump - legs & back - barefoot and put back shoes for second part of training(upperbody, lounges)-which is a hustle. Gym only - socks. I basically need shoes for the classes and circuit training and happy to keep my gym session socks only.

[@dariosimonepalmiotti2739]

does the absence of the plastic heel support have any impact on the shoes compared with the 5?

[@thatfitfriend]

@@dariosimonepalmiotti2739 I don’t think so - it’s still fairly rigid regarding boot security

[@tacticalarmsph9264]

Can i use these for jogging?

Yep! Generally, I'll rock em for ~2 miles and down and they'll be comfortable enough

[@thatfitfriend]

Tbh, if they're not that noticeable and only to you - I'd just train in em! They're going to get scuffed up once you're training anyways and it may just be some slight imperfections. I have them here and there on shoes, but since I know I'm just going to beat them up I'll look the other way when they're super minor. If it reallllyyyy bothers you, then you could def swap em out for a new pair. One of those random occurrences that happens sometimes, imo
