I got these shoes and loved how they looked. If I'm just doing standard lifting there are no issues and they work wonderfully, but once I start doing things such as high knees they start to untie and slip off.

Easily the best metcon I have tried. I am a fan of the free trainers... most notable the free train force flyknit, the the free trainer versatility and free trainer 5.0. I've tried some metcons, but never really like them. hard to get your foot in, too narrow in some part of the fit and too stiff in the sole. this shoe is like a free, but stable enough to actually lift in. Mid area of the sole is solid. Almost alarmingly stiff when you unbox them, but after a gym session, they have the right amount of flex. These have a nice little bit of arch support and could easily be wearable on the treadmill or even as a lifestyle shoe. They don't have that on the ground feeling of some of the more dedicated powerlifting/training shoes I've used, but again, these are much more wearable outside of the weight area. There is a tiny bit of heal slip in them and the materials aren't as breathable as I would like. I would also like better colorways. I got them in the olive, which is OK, but I'd like a bright red or bright blue. They fit true to size for me. Overall I am very pleased with them. They exceeded my expectations.

Several of my guy friends have these and love them. I love the look of them and would really like to try them out but I'm a womens 6.5. It'd be nice if they either made these for women too, or just made smaller sizes for a unisex shoe.
