Yeah, these will def be better for HIIT! Just keep an eye on that midsole so you can spot it early and get them swapped out!

Great vid again, thanks a lot ! !

Yeah, I’m bummed about it. I had high hopes for these!

I have NIKE Free Run 2018 and those shoes have the same issue of rubber sole splitting. You can also check those and compare with these as both have similar price.

Such a bummer. I don’t get how stuff like this isn’t more vetted before pushing out to the public.

Hi! Do you think the metcon 6 is safe for HIIT workouts? (And the ocassional badminton sesh). I used to wear running shoes for my workouts, and rolled my ankle pretty badly.. not safe 😂

Can you use these for jogging?

Good video How is the breathability on the metcon 6?

I think it's pretty solid! A bit better than the 4/5, imo

That boot reminds me of the 4 which was a pain to get into. The 5 solved that for me. Disappointed that they reverted back to the 4's boot construction with little stretch. Hopefully it's not as small as the 4.

I've used them for 2-miles so far and they were comfy enough. Squatting wide, they're a little softer than the 4s so should work fine up to 3 wheels etc. Thank you so much!

For squats and lunges would u say Free Metcon 4, 5 or 6? what's better.

They are and not at all - IMO, these fit pretty dang unisex (why else would they provide both sizes, you know?) and are plenty wide for my feet. IMO, the 7/1 "men's release" is likely colorway related and not sizing

Any updates on the midsole tear problem?

@thatfitfriend

Other shoe is having it. Filmed my review and plan to buy a second pair and make an updated comment in the next month. Tore doing sled pushes with 4-6 plates

The 6 looks like more a casual walking shoes with occasional training, the 5 looks more a training shoes with firmer sole for weights / excercises etc

@thatfitfriend

Yeah, they def took a more casual vibe in this model. Midsole is noticeably softer ferrr sureee! Much more comfy

The problem of the tearing that you spoke of, would that have anything to do with it being a female shoe?

Doubt it. I’ve had this happen in my 4s, too. I also think these size unisex.

Hasn’t ripped further which is good! Plan to buy another pair in the near future, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.

Here is my quick review Metcon Free 5 versus 6 (got them yesterday ) -MF6 feels way lighter, but also feels really cheap in hand versus MF5 -The MF6 Boot makes it hard/a pain to put the shoes on / Take out -MF6 have a softer plushy midsole, the MF5 is way firmer. -MF6 is surprisingly stable while weight lifting. Despite the sole being softer, it seems stable sidewise. -MF6 having less midsole foam exposure could be good. Never have any problem with MF5, even working out on paved road etc. Bottom line : MF6 seems more comfy to walk, but MF5 is a way better fitness Gym shoes. The MF6 feels like KSwiss type shoes, and feels cheap. For me it MF6 are a huge downgrade to MF5

Love it The flatter sole and surface are give it that stable feeling. Those are pretty much my exact thoughts as well that I discuss in my full review, but I do enjoy this shoe’s og FXM vibes I feel like it’s the upper that gives it the cheap feel. Chainlink mesh always feels better quality than this type of textile, I feel Keep an eye on your forefoot durability that’s what I’m mostly concerned about Thanks for sharing, homie

Are those white ones men’s or women’s and does it matter when it comes to a fitness shoes?

Depends on the brand - these are technically a women's colorway, but they size unisex, I believe. Shouldn't matter for this model. Sometimes sizing can differ, but more and more, I'm seeing companies use unisex sizing on their training shoes - and I think that likely has to do with cutting down on costs/resources

The material looks and feels way cheaper such a shame
