Metcon 9 SE Training Shoe (Women)

Super cute BUT mot sp great for HIIT training and even worse for running. I was really excited to try these out hoping they would be a good replacement for my worn out Reebok Nanos...while they might have been "ok" for lifting alone, wearing them for my whole workout gave me shin splints and were just overall uncomfortable. I'm back to wearing my worn out Nanos.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shoes feature a sleek, modern design that combines both style and function, and present a clean, athletic look. The construction is robust, with a stiff sole and a raised heel that allows for deeper squats and improved posture during lifts. One of the standout features of the shoes is their solid, non-compressible sole, which provides excellent stability. The heel lift helps me maintain better squat form, and the increased angle allows for a more upright torso during Olympic lifts. This is especially beneficial when performing exercises like squats, clean & jerks, and snatches. Their stable base, heel height, and supportive design make them excellent choices for those looking to optimize their lifting form and performance. While a bit pricey, the durability and performance they offer make them a great investment for dedicated lifters. Whether you’re training for strength or competing, these shoes will support your needs in the gym. NOTE: sizing was slightly off. I’m usually a 9, and should have gone up to 9.5.

Metcons are my go to lifting/training shoe with fantastic stability! I could not pass up the hyper violet color way and was so excited to get them. The fit is very different than the other pair I own despite them being the same size. Much wider throughout and especially in the toe box. I wish I had realized the sizing difference before tossing the box and wearing them because I would have returned them.
