This is a very versatile shoe that I have worn to cross-train, lift, jog short distances, and even run daily errands. The shoe provides plenty of flexibility and bounce in my HIIT sessions, while the outsole has enough grip to get me through various types of power movements at the gym. Overall, I would say the shoe is lightweight with a good amount of cushioning, but one thing I have found annoying about this shoe is that it squeaks with each step that I take. It could be the upper materials used or the way the lacing is designed. For sizing, I did go with my true to size and the fit was just right. If you want a sturdy training shoe that you can depend on to meet your lifting goals, the 7's are it!

I was really impressed with the fit and feel of the Nike Metcon 7 Men's Training Shoes. They felt stable and supportive during workouts while still being comfortable enough for longer wear. The fit felt secure without being too stiff. I liked the overall design. It has a clean, athletic look and feel durable. The material felt breathable yet sturdy, especially for training and lifting sessions. What I liked most was the balance of comfort and stability during workouts. If I could change one thing, I would make them feel just a little more flexible right out of the box because it took a few times wearing them to loosen up a little. Overall, a great training shoe!

I have been more than impressed with this pair of shoes, and have actually had a problem saving them for the gym. With the wide platform of the midsole paired with the cinching wrap of the upper, these make for a great stable platform. For weightlifting, or for standing all day on my feet in a hospital setting, these have shown me that a purposefully built shoe can beat out a generic running shoe any day. I love the fit, and they fit true to size, with a comfortable upper and firm base. The materials all feel top quality, and my black-on-black ones make for a simple and understated aesthetic. I would highly recommend a pair of these.
