Nike Women's Metcon 9 SE Training Shoes

About This Item

Whatever your "why" is for working out, the Metcon 9 makes it all worth it. We improved on the 8 with a larger Hyperlift plate and added rubber rope wrap. Sworn by some of the greatest athletes in the world, intended for lifters, cross-trainers and go-getters, it’s still the gold standard that delivers day after day. Hits of metallic and a multicolored glow give this design a unique look.

Design

  • The Hyperlift plate in the heel is even bigger for stability when getting after tough workouts like split squats, dead lifts and other lower-body exercises
  • The plate helps force weight down and out while adding rigidity in the heel
  • That firmness helps you feel grounded and supported, specifically under heavier loads
  • The lace lock system attaches to the shoe tongue, so you don’t have to worry about latching it to any fabric. It helps keep your laces in place, so once you tie up, you can focus solely on your workout.
  • Lightweight, breathable mesh helps keep your foot cool yet sports the kind of durability that can withstand scrapes, slashes and quick-drag movements

In-Shoe Comfort

  • Dual-density midsole—firm foam on the outside, soft foam on the inside—provides responsive cushioning for lasting comfort for continuous cardio and movements
  • Also, it sports flexible, durable support in the toe area, so that when your toes splay when lifting heavy weights, it won’t feel restrictive

Durability & Traction

  • Extended the rubber wrap on the side for durability and support, so that you can scale any kind of rope climb with the same repeated velocity without worrying about wear and tear
  • Wrap stretches from the midsole to the upper and adds some support in the upper for multidirectional movements
  • Full rubber outsole provides durable traction for dynamic movements like cleans and walking lunges
  • Breathable textile has a haptic print, which creates a 3-D effect that adds durability and texture, helping make it easier to keep your shoes clean

Provides A Great Base For Strength

I have worn Metcons for years. A great all round strength training shoe and good for a quick blast on the ergs. Would not use them for running or for wearing all day.

Functional And Fabulous!

These are my go to trainers now for strength training. My second pair of 9s. Finally don’t need to go barefoot! Roomier toebox for very slightly wider foot and flat for grounding. I wear normal size. Absolutely love the design and colour for this pair!

My New Fave Trainer

Gorgeous shoe! Better than I expected. Received several compliments. Highly recommend

Best Lifting Shoes

My favourite Metcon’s. I love the design, the width of the shoe and is very stable. The best shoes for strength training. But Nike should add more colors for the ladies 😅

Cute But Not Functional

Super cute BUT mot sp great for HIIT training and even worse for running. I was really excited to try these out hoping they would be a good replacement for my worn out Reebok Nanos...while they might have been "ok" for lifting alone, wearing them for my whole workout gave me shin splints and were just overall uncomfortable. I'm back to wearing my worn out Nanos.

Everything You Want In A Shoe For Lifting (Except Sizing)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shoes feature a sleek, modern design that combines both style and function, and present a clean, athletic look. The construction is robust, with a stiff sole and a raised heel that allows for deeper squats and improved posture during lifts. One of the standout features of the shoes is their solid, non-compressible sole, which provides excellent stability. The heel lift helps me maintain better squat form, and the increased angle allows for a more upright torso during Olympic lifts. This is especially beneficial when performing exercises like squats, clean & jerks, and snatches. Their stable base, heel height, and supportive design make them excellent choices for those looking to optimize their lifting form and performance. While a bit pricey, the durability and performance they offer make them a great investment for dedicated lifters. Whether you’re training for strength or competing, these shoes will support your needs in the gym. NOTE: sizing was slightly off. I’m usually a 9, and should have gone up to 9.5.

Love Metcons But Watch For Sizing Variations

Metcons are my go to lifting/training shoe with fantastic stability! I could not pass up the hyper violet color way and was so excited to get them. The fit is very different than the other pair I own despite them being the same size. Much wider throughout and especially in the toe box. I wish I had realized the sizing difference before tossing the box and wearing them because I would have returned them.

Great For My Narrow Feet

Fit and base stability is perfect for everyday wods. Short uns weren't bad either. Would not wear for long runs. Overall great shoe for narrow feet

Metcon 9

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is actually my first time using this workout style of shoe. I’m used to using Nike running shoes for daily activities and working out, so I was intrigued to see how these would be. I love the lightweight feel of these and the center arch plate looks like it would give a lot of support. For sizing, these fit pretty snug and I would have opted to go half a size up for more comfort. The shoe itself is feels very flat and low to the ground. This was my favorite feature of the shoe. I felt very stable using them for light cardio aerobics, but I don’t know how they’d be for a pure running. The Metcons would be better used for weight training for how sturdy underfoot they feel. I just don’t do much of that as my main form of exercise so these shoes wouldn’t be for me as I’m more of a runner. For general walking and casual use, these worked well and I plan to use them just for that. If your main training days are going to involve lifting, I could easily see how these could be your go to pair of shoes.

Best Lifting Shoes I’ve Ever Had

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nike Metcon 9 prm are the best lifting shoes I’ve ever had. Not only is the design original and unique, the way the shoe forms to my feet and allows for a solid base when lifting is superior to other shoes. The wider toe allows for a balance I’ve never had before. The additional detail on the tongue adds a trendy way to secure the laces, it’s practical and stylish! 10 out of 10 recommend this shoe for your lifting needs!

Exceeded All My Expectations!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've always been a fan of the Metcon shoe line, so I was very interested in trying out this product especially since my current weightlifting and workout sneakers are in need of refreshing. When I first tried on the shoe, I noticed that it was a bit snug and on the smaller side, but settled in quickly. From there, this shoe exceeded every expectation that I had!!!! It's been great for all of my workouts and weightlifting without feeling loose or hindering movement. The fabric feels very comfortable on my feet and it seems to hold up well even with the most strenuous of workouts. If there's one thing, I would change about the product is that the shoe laces seem a bit on the short side and could be longer to help prevent untying. Other than that, I love this shoe and highly recommend!

Great For Strength Training

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited when I saw these! I’ve been doing weekly Apple+ Fitness workouts and admiring the shoes I notice the trainers wearing. It made me want shoes devoted to indoor exercise and these are perfect for that! I have flat feet so I tend to expect having to break shoes in. With these I didn’t need to do that too much. These fit well and are really comfortable! I use them during my strength training because they provide my feet with good grip to the ground (no slipping) and keep my feet stable. I am not too much of a fan of the design, but I love the colors/pattern because of there bright pop of color.

Very Comfortable Sneakers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are very comfortable for city walking (e.g., hills and pavement). I have an arch in my feet and the design of the shoes fit my feet like a glove. The cushion inside the shoes provides so much support and comfort. I love the design! The black and white pattern with a neon Nike swoosh look so fashionable and sleek. I also like the velcro strap on top of the shoes that hold laces in place and add some flare to the shoe’s design. The shoes are versatile and can be worn with a short black Nike dress or black Nike leggings and a cute workout top, speaking from personal experience :-) I would recommend these shoes for anyone who is looking for very comfortable and fashionable sneakers. These shoes are great for cardio, running errands, walking, and jogging/running.

An Aesthetic Solid Performer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] FIT: The Metcon 9 PRM fits TRUE to SIZE. I have narrow to normal width feet, and they accommodate my feet just right a thumbs width of space up front to allow my toes to splay comfortably. If you have feet with a similar width, I would opt for your usual Nike sneaker size. FEEL: For their intended purpose of Strength Training, they offer good a amount of support while still being lightweight. I am a fan of how the upper mesh material feels against the top of my feet, as its breathable and allows ventilation when my feet warm up during a workout. DESIGN: Aesthestically, not only is the Metcon 9 a solid workout sneaker, it looks good enough to wear casually. The wedge towards the heel really sets it apart and gives it that signature look. I also like how the heel portion looks with all the striations. COLORWAY: This Metcon 9 PRM in particular has a very clean cw that stands out with the animal print underneath the white mesh simultaneously! I am concerned about how dingy they’ll get over time, as White, in general is a dirt magnet, especially on the cotton sockliner. FABRIC/MATERIAL: As stated earlier, the upper mesh makes me a big fan, as it’s breathable and flexes with the sneaker in a wide range of motion. As sneaker enthusiast, I tend to gravitate towards sneakers constructed of mesh, they’re easier to maintain and look in the long run. FINAL THOUGHTS: For its purpose, the Metcon 9 is a solid Strength Training sneaker. I’ve worn them mostly for my calisthenic workout with some weighted workouts thrown in. Since the cw is White, it’s expected for them to look dingy after a couple wears. If you care about that, you may look at more darker colorways. I think they are solid as is, however, if Nike added their reliable Nike Zoom Air technology in the forefoot of the sneaker, I would be more of fan! I just love that snappiness, especially at the forefoot for explosive movements. Otherwise, the Metcon 9 gets job/workout done and can pass a casual sneaker.
