Couldn’t agree more! My 7’s were the 1st metcons-let alone lifting shoes-I had that I felt were perfect. Disappointed they went in a more cross-trainer direction for the 8’s. Also the giant “metcon” branding is atrocious 😂
Metcon 8 - I am new to working out and have recently started going to the gym for overall fitness. I have flat feet, and I'm wondering if this is beneficial for me?
Ist the rigidity the whole point of the metcon ? I find walking a bit hard in these but squats and stability is far faaar better than anything, I'd go to say that it's even better than barefoot.
Thanks for the review Just ordered a custom pair on Nike £144.00 definitely steep side but if I don’t like them il return! That’s the good thing for buying direct from Nike easy returns even on custom trainers.
Recién compré unos metcon 7, pero he estado leyendo que a los pocos usos el calzado sufre roturas en la tela en la parte de la puntera o que se despega de la suela. ¿Es cierto? ¿Que tan buena el la calidad del calzado para entrenamientos moderadamente intensos durante 5 o 6 días a la semana? ¿Son resistentes? Ojalá pueda compartir su experiencia, saludos.
Yo tengo unas metcon 7 desde que salieron y me ha pasado todo eso solo en la zapatilla derecha, la izquierda con marcas de uso pero en perfecto estado. Sinceramente es una muy buena zapatilla y es solo estetico, no afecta para nada. Lo unico si se despega la suela te recomiendo recortar esa parte y final, porque si lo pegas o lo dejas va aumentando
Are these any wider in the midfoot area than the older metcons? My caveman feet have a hard time in anything longer than a 10-15 metcon due to how narrow they have been in the past. (The last pair I bought were the 5's I believe but I sold them to a buddy after wearing them twice.)
@@TheLeanMachines I usually bounce back and forth between my trusty old nano 7's and the newer inov-8 F-lite g 300. The last couple iterations of the nano have felt strange in the heel area for me.
I have 4s, in 9.5. Ordered metcon 7s in 9.5 and they felt far too big. I had to crank them so tight to feel snug it cut blood flow to my foot off so I returned them. .5 of a size down fixed that
@@cld88808 okay lets discuss this, and figure it out whats causing the uncomfort for you, what exactly you think is wrong with the shoe, what do you feel ?
I am hearing they are coming slightly earlier this year. So maybe as early as September. There are early photos of them on Instagram. To pre-warm you they are not like previous years AMP colour ways - a low duller - mainly brown.
My blackout 7's look beautiful that's what made me swap from nano's but they are so stiff and rigid, Nike went too far that way with the heal. I don't think they're a good "all rounder". I don't have the 8's but I just don't like look of them. Maybe I should wait for some new colourways to drop!?
Had to do 6x400m sprints on concrete the other day in my 7s. My ankles and tibialis were blown for days. Not a running shoe at all indeed, especially when your running technique is not the best. Has anyone has any experience with the Reebok nanos regarding running, while still being stable for oly?
Nike needs to start making these in a wide fit!
Yea, the wide foot crowd gets no love frome Nike ... too few wide options from them ...
I had to go a half size up from what I normally wear to feel somewhat comfortable in them
They also need to make back of the heel higher - they start slipping if not tightened to the level that my blood stops circulating in my feet.

I like the branding
Good review👍 I like, but don’t love my 7s. Think they’re a little rigid for me. Sounds like the 8s are a great update for me.
Yeah maybe, they do feel softer to me
Metcon 9 vs 8 ? What is the best ?
Got a pair of Metcon 8s for £45 from the Nike outlet store. Winning!
they need to make the forefoot tread to something that doesn't peel off when you do sled pushes or something like that

Would you recommend this for power walking and aerobics/Zumba?
The 7s were narrow as you could get, not sure if these are any wider!? Felt like the only option was to wear unlaced
These are definitely wider
I think the Nike free metcon 4 are the best 🤔 change my mind
Are they both good for high arches ?
Meanwhile I still use my metcon 3's....
I love the 3s. And 4s.
Still the best one no doubt
Everyone's feet are different, I was happy with the 3's when I had them, but the 7s are objectively a better shoe.
my dad is still wearing his 1’s daily haha
I still use my 2s. Never let me down
Thinking of getting the Metcon 8 but I wonder how does the sizing run? Is it true to size?
Just ordered some Metcon 8's and they are true to size 🙂
Hey how long was the shipping for the Metcon 8?
Absolutely hate the colour pattern… was just about to order a custom pair of 7s. But that is now no longer an option:(
You can custom the 8's too
Long live metcon 4
Nike ID?? 🙌🏾 Very Well. Thanks for the quick review

Hey, how's the metcon 8? I wanna buy one for the gym
Hi I am Still waiting for them to arrive! They was shipped out last week but have taken ages for Nike to make them and I still don’t have them yet.
Is metcon 8 still good for weighted squats and deadlifts?
Yes

Yo en mis metcon 6 he experimentado de lo primero, tras 2 años de uso de intensivo.

I don’t feel like they are any wider than the previous Metcon buddy, what are you wearing currently?

@@warius33 try out the new rebook nano x2! I have a flat feet and the shoe is quite wide in the midsole along with spacious toe box.
How does the sizing compare to the Metcon 7?
I'm wearing the same size, I've heard a few of the ladies have gone up 1/2 a size
I love my 4s ugh, I can't choose between another metcon or something else
I have 4s, in 9.5. Ordered metcon 7s in 9.5 and they felt far too big. I had to crank them so tight to feel snug it cut blood flow to my foot off so I returned them. .5 of a size down fixed that
@@sophslife4ever how do you like the 7s though compared to the 4s just overall? I love the 4s so I was thinking of trying the innov8
They need to go back 5 & 6 box and sole. These 7&8 sane heavy uncomfortable shoes.
Metcon 7&8 worst metcon 👎👎unconfortable for anything ! I love metc 6
The problem is with your leg
@@justright729 no ! i have metcon 7 and 7&8 is worst metcon ever shit heel plastic for crossfit . Hyperlift 👎👎
@@cld88808 okay lets discuss this, and figure it out whats causing the uncomfort for you, what exactly you think is wrong with the shoe, what do you feel ?
where can i find the AMP version??
I am hearing they are coming slightly earlier this year. So maybe as early as September. There are early photos of them on Instagram. To pre-warm you they are not like previous years AMP colour ways - a low duller - mainly brown.
@@HYROX-HUB you're right! I preferred the old versions.. I won't wait for the amp version. thank you very much for helping me!!
Would these shoes leak in water if it’s raining and you have to walk outside?
thank you for the videos that good for playing tennis ?
they may perform better but i hate the new look.
I hate metcon 7&8 hyperlift plastic 👎👎👎
Is there any difference in fit length / width and breathability? I heard the toe box got narrower.
Not that I have noticed, I do have narrow long feet so I wouldn’t. They are more breathable for sure
@@TheLeanMachines That surprises me as you can see through the 7 toe box material but not with the 8.
I'm going back to Nano's
Interesting to hear, is it the fit you prefer?
My blackout 7's look beautiful that's what made me swap from nano's but they are so stiff and rigid, Nike went too far that way with the heal. I don't think they're a good "all rounder".
I don't have the 8's but I just don't like look of them. Maybe I should wait for some new colourways to drop!?
It's not a running shoe at all my friend, I can't imagine running even 2k with these

@@nullptrZer0 maybe don’t do crossshit
The 7s fall apart, pretty poor effort from nike who used to be the standard for sportswear
