Our take
The women's Metcon 9 keeps the range's DNA: a wide heel for stable squats and lifts, and a forefoot that flexes for jumps and sequences. It is cut for the female foot.
In a functional race it reassures on strength and carry stations. For long runs, keep a running shoe. It pairs well with Compression sports socks and Fitgriff wrist wraps.
What we like
- + Cut for the female foot
- + Stable heel under the bar
- + Versatile for circuits and strength
What to know
- - Not a long-distance running shoe
- - Needs breaking in
