FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Nike Metcon 9 is primarily designed for weightlifting, cross-training, and gym workouts. While they can handle short sprints within a workout, they are not optimized for long-distance running due to their focus on stability over continuous cushioning.
How do I choose the correct size?
Nike Metcon shoes generally fit true to size. It's recommended to measure your foot and refer to Nike's official size guide. If you are between sizes, consider your typical preference for training shoes.
Can I use these for outdoor workouts?
Yes, the durable outsole offers good traction on various surfaces, making them suitable for outdoor training, but prolonged use on rough terrain may accelerate wear.
What is the difference between Metcon 9 and previous models?
The Metcon 9 typically features enhanced stability, improved cushioning, and updated durable materials compared to earlier Metcon iterations. Specific differences can be found on Nike's product pages or reviews.
How should I clean my Metcon 9s?
Clean with a soft brush, mild soap, and cold water. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Are these shoes good for wide feet?
Info needed: [Specific information on Metcon 9's fit for wide feet. Generally, Metcons offer a snug fit, but some models might have a wider toe box than others. Consult user reviews or try them on.]
Troubleshooting
Laces constantly untying
Ensure you are using a double knot or a 'surgeon's knot' for extra security during intense workouts.
Foot discomfort during long sessions
Check your lacing technique to ensure even pressure distribution. Consider trying different socks or custom insoles if discomfort persists.
Shoes feel less stable over time
Inspect the outsole for excessive wear, especially on the heel and forefoot. If worn, it may be time for a new pair to maintain optimal stability.
Unpleasant odour developing
Remove insoles and air out shoes after each use. Sprinkle baking soda inside overnight to absorb moisture and smells.

Care Instructions
To prolong the life and maintain the performance of your Metcon 9 shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush). For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water solution with a cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Odour Control: If odours develop, remove insoles and allow them to air dry. Baking soda can be sprinkled inside to absorb moisture and smells overnight.
- Rotation: If you train frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of shoes to allow each pair to fully dry out and recover between sessions, extending their lifespan.
