FAQs

What activities are the Nike Metcon 1 OG shoes best suited for?

These shoes are best suited for functional fitness, weightlifting, cross-training, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and general gym workouts due to their focus on stability and support.

How do I clean my Metcon 1 OG shoes?

Gently wipe the faux leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution on the cloth, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Air dry completely away from direct heat.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While you can do short sprints or warm-up jogs, the Metcon 1 OG is primarily designed for training activities that require stability and ground contact, not long-distance running. They do not offer the extensive cushioning found in dedicated running shoes.

What does 'OG' mean in the product name?

'OG' stands for 'Original' or 'Original Release'. It indicates that this version is a re-release or represents the initial design of the Nike Metcon 1 shoe, retaining its classic features and aesthetics.

Can women wear the Nike Metcon 1 OG?

Yes, while listed under male sizing, these shoes can be worn by anyone. It's important to convert the UK men's size to the equivalent women's size or European/US sizing to ensure a correct fit.

How should I store my Metcon 1 OG shoes when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with newspaper can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose during workout.

Adjust the lacing system. For a tighter fit, pull the laces more firmly through each eyelet, ensuring an even tension. For a looser fit, gently loosen the laces from the top down. Ensure you have the correct size.

Faux leather upper appears dull or dirty.

Clean the faux leather. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a small amount of mild soap to the cloth, gently rub the affected areas, and then wipe clean with a fresh, damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.

Shoes develop an odor after intense workouts.

Remove the insoles and air out the shoes in a well-ventilated area. You can sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. Consider using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe inserts.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the sole. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch underneath it. Reinsert the insole and check if the sound persists.

  1. Loosen Laces: Fully loosen the laces to comfortably insert your foot.
  2. Insert Foot: Slide your foot into the shoe, ensuring your heel is seated firmly at the back.
  3. Tighten Laces: Starting from the bottom, pull the laces evenly through each eyelet, tightening them progressively towards the top. Adjust until the shoe feels snug but not uncomfortably tight.
  4. Tie Knot: Secure with a double knot for activities where laces might come undone.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your faux leather Metcon 1 OG shoes.

  1. Regular Cleaning: After use, gently wipe down the faux leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean.
  2. Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight), which can damage faux leather. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
  3. Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the insoles and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
  4. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp environments.
  5. Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your shoes, as this can damage the materials and construction.
