Nike Free Metcon 7

This is my 3rd pair of Metcons. I love these shoes for training. Over the years I feel like the shoes design and fit have dramatically changed over the years for the better. This new pair of Free Metcon 7s have a classic design and wider toe box than typical Nike training shoes. Plenty of room for your toes to spread and feet to stay flat to the floor for weight training. I ordered a half size up than my usual size, and I could’ve gotten my regular size in these with these since they’re more roomy than previous models I’ve owned. The design is simple, in a good way. The materials of the shoe make it breathable. What I love the most about these shoes are that they’re comfortable enough to wear as daily casual shoes and you can train in them. They’re durable too. I’ve mostly worn them for HIIT workouts, weightlifting, and cardio warmups on the treadmill. I’ve also worn them for full work days (with lots of walking). My feet weren’t hot or tired. I would recommend these shoes to anyone looking for a shoe they can use for multiple things.

The Nike Free Metcon 7 shoes are comfortable and lightweight while still providing the stability and support needed for HIIT workouts and strength training. At 6'2" 215 lbs, the shoes felt grounded during lifts like squats and deadlifts, yet surprisingly nimble during exercises like box jumps and burpees. They run slightly big and, like most Nike Free shoes, they were ready for use right out of the box with no break in required. I really like the Metcon branding on the tongue and heel grabs. I just wish there was a bigger call out to the Swoosh. There are several, but they’re small and hardly noticeable on the Triple Black colorway. Another great design is how the tongue is sewn directly to the upper about halfway up. It gives the shoes a lockdown effect with a sock-like feel. What stood out most was their versatility in handling different types of training. They felt adaptive during agility workouts and stable under loads while weightlifting. They even look great for everyday wear. Overall, the Metcon 7s feel and look as good as they perform. If you’re wanting versatility and a shoe that can do it all, these are them. I recommend them for active individuals at any stage in their fitness journey. Thank you, Nike, for letting me test and review the Nike Free Metcon 7 shoes!

Definitely not as comfortable as the previous Metcon series. They’re very hard and flat. The previous Metcons I was able to walk around and workout in them.
