FAQs
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoes should feel snug but not uncomfortably tight. There should be a finger's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. Ensure your heel is secure and does not slip during movement.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Metcon 9 is optimized for training, offering excellent stability and support for lifting and dynamic movements. While they can handle short runs or warm-ups, they are not designed for long-distance running due to their firmer cushioning and construction.
How durable is the rope guard?
The extended rubber casing is specifically designed for durability during rope climbs, offering enhanced abrasion resistance and grip compared to standard trainer designs.
Can I use these for outdoor training?
While durable, the Metcon 9's outsole is optimized for gym floors and indoor surfaces. Frequent use on rough outdoor terrain may accelerate wear and tear.
What is the main difference between Metcon 8 and Metcon 9?
The Metcon 9 features an expanded HyperLift plate in the heel for increased stability and an extended rubber casing for improved rope climb durability. It also incorporates dual-density foam for enhanced cushioning.
How often should I clean my Metcon 9 trainers?
Clean them after particularly sweaty or dirty workouts to maintain hygiene and appearance. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during initial wear.
This is common during the break-in period. Wear the shoes for short, low-intensity workouts initially and gradually increase duration. Ensure the laces are not overtightened.
Reduced grip on certain surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. Gym floors can accumulate dust that reduces traction. For rope climbs, ensure the rubber casing is clean.
Discomfort during lateral movements.
Verify the shoe size and width are appropriate. The Metcon 9 is designed for stability; ensure the laces are tied to provide a secure midfoot lockdown without restricting circulation.
