    I’ll buy these purely to acknowledge a company being willing to make a positive change they have been stubborn with in the past. Nike is at least partially responsible for a narrow toe box in athletic shoes. Props to them for doing this subtle, important change.

    I had the Metcon 3 and after the soles came off of the uppers and I got tired of trying to Shoe Goo them back together, I "upgraded" to the 7s. They're fine, but I prefer the 3s. They were lighter and less bulky and just felt more comfortable overall, while not being any less stable. Honestly, those Xeros you prefer look a lot like the early Metcons.

  • @NickyRicky1
    @NickyRicky1 11 місяців тому +3

    I like the shoe reviews. I have the Metcon 7's which I love, and the reviews have been helpful as I probably won't need to upgrade for a bit. I would be interested in getting your take on the R.A.D one's as I have heard much about them but they have few reviews online.

    1. It's the successor to the Metcon 8, not the "predecessor" (0:05); and
    2. Please don't say you're "gonna compare it to...other ones that are out there" (e.g., the MUCH better Reebok Nano X3), then not do so. (1:25).

  • @TheElpapanator

    I genuinely miss the Nike Free Trainers they used to make. It had the flexibility of a barefoot shoe to a decent degree, the cushioning you see in the Nike Free Runs now, but the lateral support and stability of a trainer without an ultra hard heel. It was good for both training, running, and daily wear. Ever since they got rid of them, I ended switching straight to Vivobarefoots which are great but still miss that shoe for its versatility and comfort. It was probably ahead of its time and would fare far better today with the demand that’s present for barefoot styled training shoes.

    Coop - The Metcon 4's were the last Nike that fit my feet. They had the widest toe-box of any Metcon since. Luckily I bought two pair back in the day and still wear them. The 8's a total bust and very narrow. You're saying these are wider than the 4's? I'll have to buy a pair but am a little skeptical. Call me hopefull.

    I have the 7s they are great for weight training, however I usually like to go on a spin bike after, the rear wide plastic heel catches and rubs. It's terrible in the wet too. That sounds like it's not a good shoe but it is, it's just not perfect as most claim.
