A shoe with fore front flex points, as durable as the bottom of the metcon, and with the flex of a free!!! Sounds like we already have ideas for the METCON 2!!!Hm.
Pros
-Feel super secure to the ground. Box jumps felt very safe. No budging. Like becoming magnetized to the ground and platform.
-front squats and back squats felt the way I hoped. No give really; sturdy.
Cons
-Sizing seems to be slightly big. If given the chance would go down .5. The ankle just doesn't feel glued to the shoe like it does with my Frees. This could be due to the fact that the Metcon actually has a tounge, leading to the shoe not being whole or fitting like a glove, like the feeling I get with my frees.
-forefoot flexibility. The shoes aren't as stiff as he adipowers out of the box, but still don't feel as flexible as my frees. I get why the sole is totally flat and uninterrupted, but I think it's possible to have a shoe that's almost entirely flat, while still having just the flex point at the fore front (the ball of the foot, the toe joints, essentially). That would be a huge innovation. As it stands, they are a little stiff and I wouldn't have as much fun doing everyday stuff in them (which would be a plus).
As it stands, I'd give the shoes a 4/5. I will probably be happier in a month after they break in, but if judging against my Free trainers, which were comfy and pretty solid right out of the box, I have to put them a notch below, just for now.
Again, I haven't done everything I need to do to truly test them (rope climbs, for example), but this is my Out of the Box review. My Break In review will probably be stellar.
Also wish I got the Orange/grey ones. Oh well.
These look amazing.Another pic of the gum sole version from IG via Sal Masekela.
patiently waiting for a ndc restock. need these for general gym use. looks like a great platform for squats and deadlifts. also read that the toebox is on the wider side.
Dude that crap with FTL is friggin ridic!! They are def going to loose some customers over this, even if it really isnt their fault.Still no update from Footlocker on my Orange/Grey pair....ordered 2/05.
As soon as they restock at other places im going to order a 10.5 since the pair from footlocker is an 11 since thats my normal Nike Free size. But then i can just return the pair that doesn't fit
Well ultimately it is their fault. They sold product they clearly had no business releasing at the time and now people are rightfully pissed. If I hadn't received my pair when I did I would be furious.
Well I get that and I would be mad as well, but if you can't get your product off the boat because a bunch of workers are striking......Well ultimately it is their fault. They sold product they clearly had no business releasing at the time and now people are rightfully pissed. If I hadn't received my pair when I did I would be furious.
Yea I have to agree with that. My experience with FTL CS was not good. They were by no means jerks but they seemed lazy and had 0 info. Somewhere there is a break in the chain of communication. How can an entire company NOT know ANYTHING about and entire shipment. That's what baffles me.^ that's all I'm saying. It's ridiculous and I say that as someone who got their pair. But others who haven't have a right to be upset with FTL. If the stock isn't available, don't put the shoes up for sale. the customer service is what's been truly reprehensible.
