Nike Free Metcon 7

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.

These felt plastic and cheap. Less mobility than a normal Metcon. Nike missed with these.

The Nike Free Metcon 7 is a great option if you need a dedicated gym shoe. Not only were the shoes very comfortable they were also great for lifting. These shoes are great if you are a hybrid athlete. I found that they had just the right amount of cushion for cardio for long sessions of incline treadmill or stair master but were also stable enough to do heavy deadlifts and squats. I was able to use them for heavy sled push/pulls with no issue. The fabric seems to be pretty durable yet also breathable. The material on the toe scratches easily but will buff out nicely with a good wipe down after your gym sesh. The shoes overall design and comfortability is also great if you need to throw on something quick outside the gym. I found myself reaching for these shoes over my other shoes for quick trips to the store since they were quick to slip on with the heel strap. The only thing I would reconsider with this shoe is to go a half size up from you regularly wear. They were a bit uncomfortable and too small out of the box but re-lacing the shoes just right seemed to help.
