Here’s a closeup of the upper on the Nike Metcon 5. It’s a dual layer material with 3d haptic print on top for durability. It wasn’t bad, but it’s definitely not breathable like the Metcon 6. I wear an 11 in just about every other Nike shoe – and shoes from other brands like Reebok, UA, etc.)In fact, the heel is so firm and dense, these shoes make a “clip-clop” sound when you walk – Just like Oly lifters!

I like these without the hyperlifts for deadlifting – there’s no benefit to a heel raise with the deadlift. Can You Run In The Nike Metcon 6? You might feel the narrowness of the Nike Metcon shoes after a long day – that’s where it bothered me the most (a long day walking or on your feet can leave your feet slightly swelled. For the first time ever, Nike brings FlyEase tech to the Metcon line. These have laces, but you really only have to tie them once.The rest of the features are pretty much the same, all the way down to the same Hyperlift insert, introduced in the Metcon 5. This adds an extra 8 mm elevation to the heels which can help when you need to propel yourself forward.
