FAQs
Are the Nike Free Metcon 7 suitable for long-distance running?
The Nike Free Metcon 7 is primarily designed for training and shorter runs. While they offer flexibility, they may not provide the same cushioning and support as dedicated long-distance running shoes.
How do I determine my correct UK size?

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash the Nike Free Metcon 7 trainers, as this can damage the materials and construction. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What is the main benefit of the Free Metcon series?
The main benefit is the hybrid design that offers a stable base for lifting weights and a flexible forefoot for dynamic movements, making them versatile for various training types.
Is this shoe good for CrossFit?
Yes, the Nike Free Metcon 7 is well-suited for CrossFit due to its ability to provide stability for lifts and flexibility for conditioning and agility exercises.
What does 'Metcon' stand for?

How durable are these trainers?
The trainers are constructed with durable materials designed to withstand rigorous workouts, but longevity will depend on usage frequency and intensity.
Troubleshooting
Slipping during lifts
Ensure the shoe's outsole is clean and free from debris. Confirm the laces are securely tied to provide a snug fit.
Discomfort during running segments
Allow for a break-in period. Ensure you have the correct size; consider thicker or thinner socks if needed.
Wear and tear on the forefoot
This may indicate excessive toe drag during running. Focus on a proper running gait or consider if the shoe is best suited for your primary activities.
Heel feels too stiff
