FAQs
Are these shoes good for running?
They are designed for short sprints or treadmill warm-ups within a gym setting, but are not intended for long-distance running.
Can I use these for heavy Olympic lifting?
They offer great stability for general lifting, but professional powerlifters might prefer a shoe with an even harder, non-compressible sole.
How does the sizing run?
The Nike Free Metcon 5 generally runs true to size. If you prefer a looser fit for wider feet, you may consider going up half a size.
Is the heel height adjustable?
No, the heel height is fixed to provide a stable, consistent platform for lifting.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the materials and adhesive. Stick to hand cleaning with a damp cloth.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping inside the shoe
Adjust the laces to ensure the internal webbing is pulled taut across the midfoot.
Upper material showing light debris
Gently brush off with a dry, soft brush; for tougher spots, use a damp cloth and mild detergent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, tighten the laces specifically around the midfoot webbing to engage the lockdown system. The shoes are true to size for most users, though ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks for optimal moisture management.
To clean your trainers, use a soft-bristled brush or a cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the structural integrity of the foam and the bonding agents. Air dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources.
