Nike Free Metcon 6 - Platinum Tint - White - UK 9

While the Free Metcon 6 offers cushioning for 'optimal running comfort' during short bursts, it is primarily a training shoe. For long-distance running, shoes specifically designed for running with more specialized cushioning and support would be more appropriate.

Gently clean the mesh upper and rubber sole with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a solution of mild soap and water. For spot cleaning, use a damp cloth. Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
