The Ultimate Nike Metcon 7 vs. Metcon 6 Comparison (Unsponsored!)

What’s the best way to squeeze more money out of chronic CrossFitter’s? By releasing a new shoe every year! BUT don’t fret, Nike actually took the time to redesign the new Metcon 7. When compared to the Metcon 6, there’s very little that’s similar. BUT is it better?

Short answer is…no. The Metcon 6 is still the better shoe from our perspective.

Here’s a quick rundown of the differences on paper:
-Metcon 7’s doesn’t come with a removable Hyperlift
-The drop of the shoe is similar to Metcon 6 WITHOUT the Hyperlift
-Metcon 6 is more breathable
-Metcon 7’s has a softer sole
-Metcon 7’s have an updated grip on the sole of the shoe
-Metcon 7’s have a lace locking mechanism

In our test workout we discovered that:
-Metcon 7’s were way too tight
-Softer sole is going to make running easier on the 7’s
-Using the Hyperlifts from the Metcon 6’s is possible with the 7’s (not a perfect fit but didn’t feel anything adverse)
-Feet in the Metcon 6’s weren’t as sweaty
-Shoe laces stayed tied on the Metcon 7’s
