The latest model of the fan-loving Metcon series, the Metcon 9 EasyOns are, quite frankly, just that: a slip-on and off weightlifting shoe, making them super accessible for everyone, whether you’re running the last mile in your CrossFit WOD or simply running to the mailbox. The Hyperlift shoe plate is now bigger than ever for added stability while the upgraded heel rigidity ensures you feel grounded no matter how heavy the load. The extended upper rubber wrap improves the shoe’s overall durability, offering better support for hitting sharp multidirectional moves.
Reviewers regularly mentioned how well it performs, even as a slip-on shoe. “The stability of the shoe is very high for walking weighted lunges, squats, and deadlifts,” noted one shopper. “The materials of the upper feel more dense as well. The new design of the toe box and sole also makes it feel more stable. Great job on this redesign.”

“These sneakers have become my go-to weightlifting shoes,” another reviewer said. “They are super comfortable, lightweight, and have good grip. They have great functionality as well as a nice design.”
Nike’s special discount only lasts until Nov. 16, but sizes in the Meton 9 EasyOn might not stick around as long. Grab a pair for yourself today before they sell out to make the most out of your workouts.
