True to size. Wraps your feet like a glove and extremely flexible. The midsole is surprisingly more durable than the Free Metcon 6. They are lighter and has a softer midsole compared to the Metcon 9. The best overall gym shoe imo

Nike Free Metcon 5
When your workouts wade into the nitty-gritty, the Nike Free Metcon 5 can meet you in the depths, help you dig deep to find that final ounce of force and come out of the other side on a high. It matches style with substance, forefoot flexibility with back-end stability, perfect for flying through a cardio day or enhancing your agility. A revamped upper offers easier entry with a collar made just for your ankle.
Revamped Upper
A breathable, lightweight upper has a comfortable, sock-like feel with a 7/8-length inner sleeve and provides easy entry. Plush foam around the collar provides comfort and support around your ankle.
Stability for Strength
The wide heel creates a solid base for lifting. A softer foam core cushions your foot, while a firmer outer layer is durable and stable. Wide internal webbing distributes pressure around your midfoot for a comfortable yet secure feel during sudden stops and quick cuts.
Move Freely
Nike Free technology in the forefoot creates flexibility for agility moves like burpees, planks and sprints. Stretch around the collar lets your foot move naturally as you burst, cut and brake.
More benefits
- Moulded heel clip offers support.
- The webbing eyelets help give you a snug, secure fit while also flexing with each step.

Good gym shoe

these are comfortable, but a bit wide for me.
Best Metcons in my opinion

Love these! I like these a little better than the Metcon 6. It still gives you enough support at the heel and are wide for a more natural feel but arent as bulky looking as the Metcon 6. Great shoes for strength training.
