I finally found my new favorite training shoes and I couldn’t be more excited to have the W Nike Free Metcon 7. The minute I slipped these on my feet I knew they would put all of my other training shoes to shame. Not only did they fit like a glove, I love how lightweight and supportive they feel around my feet. Initially the padding behind the heel felt a little thick, but it didn’t take long for the shoe to mold to my feet and now it’s not even noticeable. There is also a supportive arch inside that just adds to the comfort of this shoe. It also helps that the top part of the shoe is a lightweight mesh material and makes it such a breathable wear, my feet never feel hot or stuffy. I find this helps the most when I wear it on my afternoon runs, because now my feet don’t get hot and sticky. They’re even ideal to wear on my quick errand runs, because of how lightweight and comfortable they are. They’re easily my go-to shoe for almost every part of my day. Even though the comfortability is the peak feature of this shoe, my favorite part is still the design and look. I love the classic black and white color combination, because it matches with anything I wear. It’s predominantly black, but with just enough accents and features of white it really makes the shoe pop. I also thought it was cool how the Nike logo was placed around the shoe in different places than it normally is. Overall this is such a great shoe. I tried to find something I would change about it, but fortunately there isn’t.

I like how the Metcon line continues to build on the signature silhouette style. I really like the shape of the shoe and how it fits on foot. The upper has a nice mesh paired with a thick foam sole that makes them easy to work out in. They feel great after hours of wear and I feel confident performing athletic moves while wearing them. This shoe is also great for casual wear and hitting the grocery store after a good lift. The pull tab on the heel is unique in the cone tip shape it creates. Nike free metcon is embellished all over the shoe and makes a cool appearance in the shoestring eyelets if you look closely. The only thing I would change is to remove the layer of materials that covers the mesh on the upper. I hope this layer has a purpose either to keep water out or hold the shoe together but if it does not then I would like to see it removed.

Let me start by saying that any Nike Free product can do no wrong in my eyes. I have had multiple variations of the Free Runners over the years and they never disappoint. The Metcon 7s enhance the cushioning and I think they’ll last much longer . They’ll be able to handle more wear and tear . They’re still lightweight and flexible, so you’re not giving up one for the other . I ordered my true size and while my toe is at the very tip top, I changed into thinner socks and they were fine. Easy to move around in, easy sneakers to wear to the gym . They provide enough grip and enough cushion that you can easily do cardio and other gym exercises . The style is essentially the same, so it can easily mix into what’s already in your closet . These are part of my daily rotation now.
