- Is the Free Metcon 6 good for heavy lifting?
- It handles moderate lifting well thanks to the stable heel, but it is more flexible than a dedicated lifting shoe. For maximal squats and deadlifts, a stiffer shoe is a better choice.
- How does it compare with the Metcon 9?
- The Free Metcon 6 has a more flexible forefoot and is lighter, which suits circuits and running. The Metcon 9 is flatter and stiffer for heavier lifting.
- Does it fit true to size?
- Most wearers take their normal size. If you have wide feet, consider going up half a size because the mesh upper runs snug.
- Can I run in these shoes?
- Short runs and sprints in a workout are fine. For long-distance running, a dedicated running shoe offers better cushioning.
- What is the shoe best used for?
- Cross-training, HIIT classes, plyometrics and gym circuits. It is an all-round trainer rather than a specialist lifting or running shoe.
