Nike Metcon 8 Trainers - Green/Black - UK 9.5

The Nike Metcon 8 is primarily designed for training, weightlifting, and cross-functional fitness. While they can handle short runs or warm-ups, they may lack the cushioning and support needed for longer distances compared to dedicated running shoes.

The shoe should feel snug but not constricting. There should be a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure and not slip during movement.

No, it is not recommended to machine wash the Nike Metcon 8. Hand washing with mild soap and water, followed by air drying, is the preferred method for cleaning.

The Metcon 8 builds upon the series' foundation with an updated, more breathable upper and enhanced stability features. Specific updates vary slightly with each iteration but focus on improving durability and comfort for training.

They are best suited for weightlifting, CrossFit, HIIT, circuit training, and general gym workouts that involve a mix of strength and agility.

The sole is designed for durability and stability, featuring robust materials to withstand friction and provide a solid base during heavy lifts and dynamic movements.

Wear with thinner socks or allow for a break-in period during less intense workouts. Ensure you have the correct size; consider trying a half-size up if the tightness persists.

Clean the outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any dust or debris that may be hindering grip. Ensure the workout surface is clean and dry.

This is normal for new Metcon trainers designed for durability. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the material to adapt to the shape of your foot.
