Our take

The Metcon 9 is the shoe you see on most cross training athletes' feet. Its wide, stable heel gives real support under the bar, while the forefoot stays flexible enough for jumps, burpees and short sprints.

In a functional racing event it holds up on the stations but is not a pure running shoe: over long distances, a running shoe remains preferable. It pairs well with the Nike Dri-FIT Strike shorts and a Adjustable speed jump rope for warm-ups.

What we like

  • + Stable heel for lifting
  • + Versatile: strength, jumps, circuits
  • + Very well rated by athletes

What to know

  • - Not ideal for long runs
  • - Needs a break-in period
