The Nike Metcon 9 and Free Metcon 6 are two of the biggest flagship training shoes. I get a lot of comments about which option lifters should go with.
Both shoes have been around for quite some time with the Free Metcon being in its sixth iteration and the Metcon 9 being in its ninth. Needless to say, these shoes have seen their fair share of changes and updates over the last few years.
In my Metcon 9 versus Free Metcon 6 comparison, I'll help you decide which model you should go with based on your training needs.

If you're considering the Nike Free Metcon 6 and Metcon 9, then it can be incredibly useful to understand where each shoe excels.
While these shoes have some crossover, it's pretty clear to see which model will work best in certain settings based on their biases.
The Metcon 9 will be the superior model for the purely lifting and CrossFit-focused individual, and the Free Metcon 6 can be a good generalist trainer.

The looks of the metcon 6's really are growing on me!
Brought the metcon 9s last week. I have narrow feet and I had to go a half size down because the toe box was too big. I’m used to wearing 11s I went for the 10 and a half and they fit much better, glad I went a half size down, if I went for the 11s I would of had to use insoles or even toe plugs 🤦♂️
I’m researching about my training shoes and I’ve loving your content. I lift and sometimes I do CrossFit and I’m very confused. What should I buy between Nike free metcon 6, Nike metcon 6 and Nike metcon 9?
If you can find an old Metcon 6, grab those! They’re a GOATed model.
If not, go Metcon 9
I’m looking to buy a cross training shoe for dance fitness classes and walking and I love your content . I’m considering Nike between Nike free metcon 5 /free metcon 6 / Pegasus 41 , Which is suitable for classes and also durable .
I’m quite curious as you mentioned about durability issues with free metcon 6 . Can you suggest the best pick .
I'd go Free Metcon 6 or the 5.
6 will feel the best regarding blending responsiveness with some stability. I think the durability issue will only be present at certain thresholds. If you're not going crazy with heavy sled pushes and outdoor concrete workouts then you'll likely be fine! Mine ripped when pushing 5 plates, but should be a non-issue for most who aren't going ham with that, imo.
Thank you for checking out the channel!
Thanks for this. I am a woman in 40s trying to get some of my muscle mass back but I can't see myself lifting over 30kg. I was looking at the metcon 9s but have seen a pair of metcon 6s which are more reasonably priced so I think I'm going to go with the 6s, particularly since I will probably also want to use them for walking. Any idea whether you can put orthotics in them?
You should be okay doing so! If the orthotics are thinner then you’ll have no problems, imo.
Glad the video helped!
I am a metcon 6,7,8 owner. 9 is the worst one to compare to these three. Don’t waste your money on metcon 9.
Btw, thank you Jake. Your in depth reviews did help me a lot in the past.
@@drevil2675 I’ve said the same stuff in 9 reviews. Compared to models like the 4/6, the 9 is an abomination and so mid, lol.
@@thatfitfriend honestly, metcon 7 was the best one . Metcon 8 is already a downgrade coz daily use isn’t the thing I would care about. I prefer more stable and solid sole . Nike cared about the business instead of performances now .
@@drevil2675 agreed.
Have you tried the Dropset 2/3?
@@thatfitfriend sadly no. After I watched your two videos , I would love to try one, but I will get my Romaleos 4 first coz it’s on sale 🔥.
Hi, Jake! Have you tried doing barbell/dumbbell walking lunges or reverse lunges using Metcon 9s? I want to know which shoe is better for that particular exercise because currently I'm struggling with my Reebok Nano X3s and want to change it ASAP! Thanks... 💪🏻
Yep! I actually hit a barbell walking lunge PR with 275# for 3 in my 9s. Random PR I was proud of 😂 they’re solid, imo
@@thatfitfriend WOW! Thanks for the update buddy. Will sure give it a try with the Metcon 9’s m! ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
whats the best metcon for general weightlifting? like bench, squats, deadlifts etc.
Metcon 9!
Looks like the Project Rock 7's are going back to a Bootie style construction. Wonder how they'll compare to the free metcon 6? (They seem to have stripped away a lot of the unnecessary tech, too.)
Probably more chonky and heavy feeling, if I had to guess! Stoked to see, though. I'm hopeful UA will better optimize this shoe line
Here's my take on comparative shoes:
Nike Free Metcon
Project Rock BSR 4
Reebok Nano Gym (upcoming)
Nobull Drive
Adidas Rapidmove
@@capt1941 solid same cat lineup
Ordered the PR7's this morning. Looking forward to your review. 😁
Should I go true to size on Metcon 6? My normal size is UK9
Yeah, go TTS
