Anyone try the new speed trainer 3? I've heard some favorable comparisons to the metcons.

Very narrow. Was told go up a half size, but for me it seemed to be too long. Still trying to break them in.

Just ordered a pair of the Lunar Grey / Total Orange. I swore I was done, but I found them at basically retail with low shipping so I had to pull the trigger. Now I'm really done as I have a different pair for every day of the week. Of course, if I can get my hands on a pair from Oregon all bets are off.

Is the sole as stiff and planted as the metcon?

nvm: just read the reviews on there.. looks like i'll be buying a pair to try!

Any leads? It's my favorite CW out of all of them made so far and of course it's the one I can't easily/cheaply get

I'd love to find the Oregons - even tweeted out a question about them to Nike and the Ducks equipment account - no response.

These look like a new version of the metcon 2.
Nice to see the placement of swoosh has changed from the earlier photos.

Anyone got a Eastbay Code kickin?

I'll let you know when I have them in hand. Don't want to send a bunch of people on a wild goose chase if it doesn't work out.

Just joined to say thanks to everyone posting great info in this thread!  I have used EB promo code for a pair of Metcons here and I also just received my Nike claim rebate for my first pair of Metcons (blue lagoon/orange 

 I miss you already).   I had no idea that Nike had a claim form and thanks to you guys I got a voucher.  

My only problem now is deciding which CW to go with for my voucher.  I'm not crazy about any of the new releases...

hmmm, I checked out through paypal, no problem here, my pair arrived yesterday.

I'm located in Europe, but the site mentions shipping to the US.

Perhaps dropping them an e-mail would help.....

Completely new to Met Cons.. Are these really good for weightlifting? deadlifting? squatting?

or should I stick with my chucks for deadlifting/squats or get adipowers?

Metcons are for crossfit. If you're sticking to weightlifting or powerlifting get romaleos or adipowers

I've been able to do everything in my metcons, from a 7 mile run, to heavy 1RM backsquats/deadlifts/oly lifts.
