Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup: When first wearing your Nike Metcon 9, ensure proper lacing to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Adjust laces to firmly hug your midfoot without restricting circulation. The shoe should feel snug, providing ample stability, especially around the heel and arch. Wear appropriate athletic socks for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: These shoes are primarily designed for indoor gym training, weightlifting, CrossFit, and high-intensity interval training. While durable, they are not optimized for long-distance running or trail running. They are compatible with standard athletic socks.
Care & Maintenance: To maintain the longevity and appearance of your Metcon 9 shoes, clean them regularly. Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher stains, use a mild soap mixed with cool water and a soft cloth or sponge. Gently wipe the affected areas, then air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage materials and adhesives. Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
