Hi Jake just found your channel. Thank you for explaining the difference between the two. Very informative. I just bought the metcon 8. Haven’t received them yet. I have a narrow foot and thought the metcon 9 were going to be big on the width. I hope I like them. Using them for lifting mostly and CrossFit training.

I have had Metcons 3, 6, and now 8. I can't say how the 8 will be long term though I do enjoy them early on. I'll probably be the only person to say this, but my 3's were my favorite for daily wear and looks. But that goes back several years, I still wish I had me some 3's. Thanks for the video, I like the clean lines and coherent presentations that you provide. I am a new subscriber, thanks again.

I bought some eights because they were on sale.. They are ok, but I'm not a big fan of the heel as it makes the shoes feel clunky. I prefer my Metcon fives to be honest. Flat enough to lift, yet comfortable enough to perform short runs in.

Low key most everyone I talk to including me prefers the 6s and older models. These TPU heels are such a miss for most training contexts, so I feel ya.

My metcon 7s got trashed from using them during a fire academy. What do you recommend for a traditional lifter who also does a lot of HIIT and performance based training. I do incorporate a bit of running at times as well. I’m open to trying different brands as well

Jake, to be honest I have found that the inside of my foot collapses inward in the Metcon 9, while doing snatches and jerks. I don’t think they are as stable as other shoes. A step backwards in my opinion.

That’s exactly what’s happened to me so I feel validated hearing you say that. It’s a weird medial midfoot construction in this model! Check out my individual review and first impressions, I talk about this heavily in them

My first Metcon was the 3, then i bought 4XD and 5 but i didn't like at all 5 and i still using my lovely 4XD red/camo, but it's almost dead. Wich one fit similar to 4XD? I'm tempted to chose 8AMP

7, 8, and 9 have nothing on the 4XD...NGL. I'd look into the Born Primitive Savage 1 or Adidas Dropset Trainer 2 if you want a 4ish type of feel!

Great review, I’m not sure what are the best training/ gym shoes, my training includes dumbbells, barbells and machines.

Sureee! In my opinion nike is not that comfortable :D

The extra volume in the 9 is fantastic, but that midfoot wrap is so aggressive and makes my feet roll in a ton and basically makes them useless for me which is a shame. I’ll keep the 8s and pray that they reduce that in the 10

I was super interested if others would notice that rolling in. Felt the exact same. Good upper fit, whack features

Metcon 7 are the best shoes I’ve ever worn they’re the best shoes ever!!! You can’t get it all in one you either going to have the nice stability to lift weights, hike, or just in the daily for anything really, if you wanna run get running shoes, nothing will be better than some Mizuno of ASICS
