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!

Do you likek metcon 6 over metcon 9?
@MylesJayy2 ай бұрын
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

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 .
@fitatmidlife9273 ай бұрын
Regarding durability - it's just too early to tell. I've only had the 6 for about a month. That said, I've owned EVERY version of this shoe and had not issues with durability. If you can find the 5 with a good discount - get that,.

How are they for walking, and jump rope
@fitatmidlife9272 ай бұрын
Walking - they work just fine. Comfortable to wear for long time periods - standing or walking. Honestly I don't jump rope any more - it's too much repetitive impact (I'm old). Having said that - these would probably be OK if you have healthy hips/knees.

Hy there! Wich one is wider? I have small fit and i dont like large sneakers! Thx!
@fitatmidlife9273 ай бұрын
Regarding width they are both pretty close, but realize the Free Metcon 6 is a tight, "sock like" fit. It's meant to hug your foot. So - that'll probably feel better. The Metcon 9 won't "hug" your foot like that.

Nice but the Free Metcon 5 is better for me. The 4 is the most beautifull of the serie

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.

How much running ? What distance? What kind of weights? Heavy barbell stuff?

@@fitatmidlife927 I run close to 7-10 kms a day. And yes, my weight training does involve heavy barbell exercises.

You cant have both in 1 shoes. If you want good running shoes, buy running shoes. For lifting buy lifting shoes like metcon 5,6,9. But running, buy good running shoes

Does the quality of the 6 seem less? It looks less durable
@fitatmidlife9273 ай бұрын
I wouldn't say quality is less, but it's definitely lighter - I think because of the upper it's a ligheter weight material. Therefore the upper might be less durable (but more comfortable). Only time will tell, I think. To be honest the way I use these the upper doesn't get much wear and tear. I'll report back in a few weeks.

I DO NOT think the upper in these is tougher. I don't think you'll have better results.
