Not only will it wear out your running shoes more quickly, but you also risk injury to the lower body if for example, you’re squatting in your running shoes. This means specific stability for weightlifting, a traction made to ensure speed and strength where you need most. After testing these inserts a few times with the Metcon 5’s these weren’t something I ended up using as I didn’t notice much difference other than a looser heel fit. After testing the Metcon 5, the Reebok Nano X launched so I had been wearing that and these felt quite different. Ensuring a strong and stable base, the outsole wraps around the side of the midfoot from the added grip when climbing a rope and speed when sliding back down.

Height: Some styles like the Metcon 5 have a very low profile, while the MetconSF has a high-rise ankle.

Foam is firmer under the heel for a secure feel and softer in the forefoot to cushion high-impact moves.A low, flat and wide heel now features a removable Hyperlift insert that adds offset to help improve stability for squats, wall balls and thrusters. These shoes come in a variety of colours, ranging from gunmetal grey to bubblegum pink, so it is easy to find the shoe that matches your personal style and preferences.

Colour: Decide whether you want understated neutral Nike Metcon shoes or brightly coloured ones in pink, green, orange, or other fun colours. The tongue is attached in a partial bootie to the upper, meaning it stays put when working out and makes getting the shoe on and off easily. The versatile Women's Metcon 6 from Nike is expressly designed to stand up to the push and pull of heavily weighted and high-intensity workouts. This outsole wraps up the foot on the medial and lateral sides to protect the foot and make the shoe last longer on rope climbs, and gives added support for lateral movements.

Whilst not a huge amount has changed on the 6th version, what has been changed seems to have addressed these issues of feel underfoot. This did not influence the outcome of this review, written after running more than 50 miles in them. The Metcon 6 has only one standout competitor, the Nano X, which I scored a 10/10 in my review earlier this year.
