The Nike Free Metcon 6 has been a cross-training shoe that's had a lot of community anticipation around its release.
I was a big fan of the OG Nike Free Metcon, and since that model, it's been interesting seeing the ebbs and flows of this shoe line. The Nike Free Metcon 6 has been the most similar regarding its feel to that original model, but that comes with a drawback.
In my Nike Free Metcon 6 review, I'll cover every detail that you should know before investing in this shoe.

13:20 Conclusion, Would I Buy Again?
I'm torn on the Nike Free Metcon 6. To be honest, I like it more than the past few iterations, but its durability is concerning.
When it comes to the feeling of this shoe, its midsole is a little more plush compared to the Free Metcon 4 and 5 which makes it great for sprints, HIIT, and cross-training.
My main concern, though, is if this plushness and the reworked rubber outsole, will actually hinder the durability of this model's forefoot.
I had issues with my pair when doing heavy sled pushes on turf, so I'm curious to see if others experience this issue, too.

Thanks for checking it out, homie
Awesome vid as usual Jake! Wish the durability was better otherwose I'd give these a chance (currently on a slip-on kick with trainers "Metcon Reacts") Have you bought the Reebok Nano Courts yet? I want to see if they are similar to the Nano X's (my favs) but lighter.

Thank you! I'm bummed, too, maybe this is a one-off shoe, though. DO NOT get them. I have a review coming on them and I am not a fan - feels like a half baked Nano NGL.
Hi Jake, thanks for the video. Still questioning tho, do you think it's an upgrade going for free metcon 6 from free metcon 5? considering how good the free metcon 5 still is
@thatfitfriend
7 күн бұрын
Eh - upgrade will depend on what you're after. If you wanted a plusher midsole and better midfoot in the 5 then the 6 is an upgrade. If you LOVE the 5 then it won't be a real upgrade, imo. If you're still into the 5, I'd stock up on them and look for deals!
Hey Jake!! Should i buy metcon 9 or free metcon 6 for weightlifting and moderate running. Or could you suggest something else?? Thanks

Hi Jake, I am looking into getting the Free Metcon 6 or 5, and I currently have Free Metcon 4s. I like to do general lifting but nothing too heavy, HIIT, and some short runs. One issue I have with the 4 is my toe has started to create a hole in the upper toe box. Do you think the 5 or 6 has better upper toe box durability?
@thatfitfriend

Both should be solid, but I’d go 6. A bit more reinforcement around the toe box!
Hello. I watched your other video. And now I am torn between the two. 😅 Would you prefer this Nike Metcom or On x 3? which is more versatile for workout? Thank you so much.

It can be! If you're newer to lifting then they should work, but as you get more serious with weights/running distances you'll likely want to find something a little more specific for comfort and performance reasons!
Do you wear a Sports Smartwatches in the workout? Greetings 🇲🇽

Yeah, I've reviewed the Rapid and it's similar for sure - can't get myself to spend on the ADV since those are the only real differences
Is this shoe good for long walks? Like just walking 10km concrete roads etc?

Finished the vid…. I’d buy these for casual use but I’d pass as far for any type of workout. Knowing the possibility that it might tear or break during a movement would wreck my mind during a workout. That’s just my opinion though…. Side note: ever think of changing the name of the channel to: Jake my Fit Bro….. lol… just a thought…. Jk. Thanks for the great content…. Keep it coming! Waiting for the Stoic Barefoot review.

Tbh, if they're not that noticeable and only to you - I'd just train in em! They're going to get scuffed up once you're training anyways and it may just be some slight imperfections. I have them here and there on shoes, but since I know I'm just going to beat them up I'll look the other way when they're super minor. If it reallllyyyy bothers you, then you could def swap em out for a new pair. One of those random occurrences that happens sometimes, imo
