Nike Free Metcon 7

I’m so disappointed in these shoes. Comparing them to the Metcon 6, the toe box on the 7’s are narrow and the tongue is huge. The laces are incredibly short. I doubt this is a shoe I could work out in every day like I could the Metcon 6. The shoe overall is more bulky and less flexible. This feels more like a lifestyle shoe instead of something you would workout in.

I have been wearing metcon free for HITT/lifting workouts for over 6 years. They have been wonderful. The 7’s have a new added stripe of canvas/rubber for the laces that runs to the sole. Every move that involved a bend at the toe (lunges, bear stance ect) it dug into my foot. This is first version to do this. I am so disappointed.

The Free Metcon 7 is stable and comfortable. But really ugly. The tongue is super padded and so is the collar. They look kinda clunky. I love the 5…don’t get why Nike keeps messing with design without improving. Disappointed in the 7s.
