Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Metcon 9s last, proper care is essential. Since these shoes are designed for rigorous activity, wipe them down with a damp cloth after sweaty sessions to remove salt and moisture buildup, which can degrade materials over time. If the shoes become heavily soiled, use mild soap and water, then air dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent glue degradation or warping. For fit, these trainers are true to size; ensure you are wearing gym-appropriate socks to achieve the intended lockdown. If you participate in activities that cause significant friction, such as repeated rope climbs, inspect the side panels periodically for signs of wear.
