Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
To begin using your Nike Free Metcon 6 shoes, simply place your foot inside and ensure the tongue is centered. Tighten the laces from the bottom upwards, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit that doesn't restrict circulation. Double-knot for added security during dynamic movements. Always make sure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.

- Gym Workouts: Including weightlifting, circuit training, and machine exercises.
- Cross-Training: Versatile enough for combining different disciplines.
- CrossFit: Designed to support the varied and intense demands of CrossFit workouts.
- Dynamic Movements: Excellent for agility drills, plyometrics, and functional training.
- Short Sprints: Suitable for brief bursts of speed.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Free Metcon 6 shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently hand wash your shoes. Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap (like dish soap) and cold water to clean the upper and outsole. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Laces: If laces become dirty, you can remove and hand wash them separately.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can degrade the materials, cushioning, and structural integrity of the shoes.
