Nike Women's WMNS Metcon 6 Gymnastics Shoe

Product Information

The Nike Metcon 6 can be purchased directly from Nike US / Nike UK and selected third-party retailers such as SportsShoes.

The biggest change has come in the form of a much superior and breathable upper, made with large ventilation holes to increase airflow and also give a much lighter feel on the foot. Starting with the outsole, flex grooves in the heel and the forefoot give good flexibility and grip, and the carbon rubber feels thick and durable. The tongue is attached in a partial bootie to the upper, meaning it stays put when working out and makes getting the shoe on and off easily.It is more breathable and has an updated topcoat that is supposed to be even more resilient than the one found in the Metcon 5.

The feel of the upper is rigid and structured to give support, much more so than a running shoe, which may take some getting used to. These types of accessory exercises are super important for runners looking to improve their speeds or prevent injuries (which is everyone right? If you’re a harsh heel striker, the firm heel is far from ideal, but the sole does offer some cushioning, the shoe stays put on the foot, and I managed to get in some speedy sprints in them, both on a treadmill and outdoors.Social media and advertising cookies of third parties are used to offer you social media functionalities and personalised ads. The Metcon 6 gave plenty of support and structure under the heel, and enough room in the forefoot for the toes to move and give the feel of the floor through the whole foot. The low heel height at the back did give some heel slippage to begin with but now no longer bothers me as the shoe has softened up and moulded to my foot better. The build quality of the Nike Metcon 6 is great: there are no loose threads or ill-fitting parts on display.
