- Is the Metcon 7 AMP good for lifting?
- Yes. Its flat, firm heel and midfoot support bridge give a stable base for squats, deadlifts and Olympic lifts. It is one of the more stable cross-trainers in its class.
- Can I run in the Metcon 7 AMP?
- For short distances and conditioning work, yes. The foam forefoot helps, but the shoe is firm and heavy, so it is not a substitute for a running shoe on longer runs.
- How does it compare with the Metcon 8?
- The two ride similarly. The Metcon 8 has a slightly softer, more updated heel and a refined upper; the Metcon 7 AMP feels a bit stiffer and is often the better value for pure lifting.
- Does it fit true to size?
- Most owners say it fits true to size, though those with wide feet may want to try a half size up because the upper is stiff at first.
- Is it good for CrossFit and rope climbs?
- Yes. The rubber outsole grips gym floors and the suede-reinforced upper resists abrasion on rope climbs, which is why it is popular for CrossFit-style training.
- What is the upper made of?
- A mix of mesh, textile and suede. The mesh keeps it breathable while the suede overlays add durability at high-wear areas.
