Nike Free Metcon 7 Training Shoe - Women's

I have worn the Nike Free Metcon shoes for years, as my go to shoe for every type of gym workout. However, the latest edition fails in comparison to previous versions. It is heavy, clunky and not flexible enough to be suited to a variety of workouts. The shoe is very stiff, even after breaking them in. These were not the updated version I was hoping they would be.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shoes are really comfortable I have been using as my everything shoe and they really work. They are great for casual, training, and walking. The shoes is on the smaller and narrow size but they work for my feet, they are a half size bigger than my true to size but they fit me great! Like I said great for training but the heal is too big for squat and deadlift and would recommend something more lower to the ground since the heel in this shoe is quite big

You almost require a sneaker to be tough as you to handle the daily grind of being a mother. The Nike Free Metcon line is sleek, comfortable and meant for a fast pace individual. Easy to put on and comfortable from morning to night. My main issue is the toe box area, I felt it’s a little narrow so next time I may go a half size up! It just depends on your foot, I recommend trying on your “true to size” size and a half size up and determine your personal comfort from there. I’m planning to compete in a Jiu Jitsu tournament coming up in June, so these are going from box to the gym daily to prepare for the tournament. They’re perfect for cardio and stamina building jogging from the house to the gym and back. Jiu jitsu is a sport of mental resilience and stamina so these sneakers are motivating me to prepare more than I have before.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I originally picked up the Nike Free Metcon 7 because I needed a versatile training shoe that could keep up with my summer workout routine — everything from strength training and conditioning classes to treadmill intervals and quick gym sessions. After wearing them consistently, they’ve quickly become one of my favorite training shoes. The fit and feel were the first things I noticed. The shoe feels supportive and stable during weight training, but still flexible enough for movement-based workouts and cardio. I especially liked how lightweight they felt compared to other training shoes I’ve tried. The cushioning is comfortable without feeling overly soft, and the heel support gave me confidence during lifts and lateral movements. Design-wise, I think Nike did a great job balancing performance and style. The shoe has a sleek athletic look that works well both in and outside the gym. I liked that they looked streamlined instead of bulky, and the colorway (I chose pink) made them easy to pair with almost any workout outfit. The fabric and materials feel breathable and durable, which was important for longer workouts and warmer weather especially living in the southeast. My feet stayed comfortable even during high-intensity sessions, and the upper material felt flexible without losing structure or support. What I liked most was how versatile the shoe felt. I could transition from strength exercises to short cardio intervals without feeling like I needed a completely different shoe. They really feel built for functional training. If I could change one thing, I’d probably add just a little more cushioning in the forefoot for longer runs, but for training and gym workouts, they perform extremely well. Overall, these have been a great addition to my workout gear and definitely feel like a reliable all-around training shoe for an active summer routine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I finally found my new favorite training shoes and I couldn’t be more excited to have the W Nike Free Metcon 7. The minute I slipped these on my feet I knew they would put all of my other training shoes to shame. Not only did they fit like a glove, I love how lightweight and supportive they feel around my feet. Initially the padding behind the heel felt a little thick, but it didn’t take long for the shoe to mold to my feet and now it’s not even noticeable. There is also a supportive arch inside that just adds to the comfort of this shoe. It also helps that the top part of the shoe is a lightweight mesh material and makes it such a breathable wear, my feet never feel hot or stuffy. I find this helps the most when I wear it on my afternoon runs, because now my feet don’t get hot and sticky. They’re even ideal to wear on my quick errand runs, because of how lightweight and comfortable they are. They’re easily my go-to shoe for almost every part of my day. Even though the comfortability is the peak feature of this shoe, my favorite part is still the design and look. I love the classic black and white color combination, because it matches with anything I wear. It’s predominantly black, but with just enough accents and features of white it really makes the shoe pop. I also thought it was cool how the Nike logo was placed around the shoe in different places than it normally is. Overall this is such a great shoe. I tried to find something I would change about it, but fortunately there isn’t.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like how the Metcon line continues to build on the signature silhouette style. I really like the shape of the shoe and how it fits on foot. The upper has a nice mesh paired with a thick foam sole that makes them easy to work out in. They feel great after hours of wear and I feel confident performing athletic moves while wearing them. This shoe is also great for casual wear and hitting the grocery store after a good lift. The pull tab on the heel is unique in the cone tip shape it creates. Nike free metcon is embellished all over the shoe and makes a cool appearance in the shoestring eyelets if you look closely. The only thing I would change is to remove the layer of materials that covers the mesh on the upper. I hope this layer has a purpose either to keep water out or hold the shoe together but if it does not then I would like to see it removed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me start by saying that any Nike Free product can do no wrong in my eyes. I have had multiple variations of the Free Runners over the years and they never disappoint. The Metcon 7s enhance the cushioning and I think they’ll last much longer . They’ll be able to handle more wear and tear . They’re still lightweight and flexible, so you’re not giving up one for the other . I ordered my true size and while my toe is at the very tip top, I changed into thinner socks and they were fine. Easy to move around in, easy sneakers to wear to the gym . They provide enough grip and enough cushion that you can easily do cardio and other gym exercises . The style is essentially the same, so it can easily mix into what’s already in your closet . These are part of my daily rotation now.
