  Nice balance between trainers and lifting shoes; has great balance and stability and are still quite comfortable. Good for general use and inside the gym

• Perfect workout shoe!

  This should be your go to gym shoe! Great for any workout. These shoes are true to size and provide great support. They are light on your feet to go that extra mile and have excellent grip.

• Definitely Try On In Person Before Committing

  I 'upgraded' to a pair of custom Metcon 8's straight from the website after having the Metcon 4's and being absolutely in love with them. The Metcon 8 turned out to be a disappointment. They are VERY different from the Metcon 4. To start, they are very narrow - especially in the toe, and the heel plate is rigid plastic which makes them feel really weird. There is no cushion or spring that I could feel. I did find that the rigid plastic heel plate gave me good stability when doing heavy squats, but they are so uncomfortable that I can't wear them walking down the street. The rigid heel plate makes them bend in a really odd way at the midpoint of the shoe. I haven't worn them to the point of wearing them out, but I bet that will be first point of failure down the road - and it's a major one. I can't imagine doing cardio in these things. I gave them a solid try, but I ended up going back and buying another pair of Metcon 4's. The 4's are fantastic across everything I do in the gym as well as on the sidewalks and streets. I'm sure this is a solid shoe for some people, but definitely try them on in-person and give them a walkabout before committing.
