Troubleshooting
Slipping during lateral movements
Ensure the shoe laces are tied securely and consider if the surface you are training on is appropriate.
Discomfort in the arch area
The Metcon 8 is designed for a supportive fit; if discomfort persists, consider using aftermarket insoles or consult a professional for fitting advice.
Premature wear on the toe cap
While designed for durability, excessive abrasive contact (e.g., aggressive rope climbs without proper technique) can accelerate wear. Ensure proper form.
