Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable during workouts

Adjust your lacing. Try loosening the laces slightly, particularly over the instep, or experiment with different lacing patterns. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks.

Foot slides inside the shoe during dynamic movements

Re-lace your shoes, ensuring a tighter, more secure fit, especially using the top eyelets for a 'locked-in' feel. Consider the thickness of your socks; thinner socks might lead to more movement.

Reduced grip on gym floors

Inspect the outsole for dirt or debris and wipe it clean with a damp cloth. Ensure the floor surface itself is clean and dry. If the tread appears worn smooth, it might be time for replacement.

Unpleasant odor developing in shoes

After each use, remove insoles and allow shoes to air dry completely. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Avoid storing them in confined, damp spaces.

Setup: Getting Started with Your Metcon 9s To maximize the benefits of your Metcon 9s, ensure proper lacing. Start by loosening all laces, then slide your foot in, making sure your heel is seated at the back of the shoe. Tighten the laces from the bottom up, creating a snug but not overly restrictive fit. Utilize the top eyelets for a more secure, 'locked-in' feel, especially during heavy lifts or dynamic movements. ## Compatibility: Best Use Cases The Metcon 9 is specifically designed for high-intensity training, making it ideal for: - Weightlifting: Provides excellent stability for squats, deadlifts, and Olympic lifts. - CrossFit: Durable enough for rope climbs, box jumps, and various metabolic conditioning exercises. - HIIT & Circuit Training: Offers the support needed for explosive movements and quick transitions. While it provides cushioning for short bursts of cardio, it is not recommended for long-distance running due to its specialized training design. ## Care: Maintaining Your Metcon 9s To ensure the longevity and performance of your shoes: - Cleaning: Spot clean visible dirt and stains using a soft brush or cloth, mild soap, and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials. - Drying: Air dry your shoes at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can cause materials to shrink or warp. - Storage: Store your Metcon 9s in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to maintain their shape.
