I have been training at the gym and decided I deserved some new shoes. These Nike Metcon shoes are probably the best athletic footwear I have ever owned. They provide the right amount of support and traction for multi-axis movement. My personal trainer praised my choice saying,those are the exact shoes I would have recommended for you. They look great too. I have received many other compliments besides. Whoever designed the shoe made their masterpiece. I now own 3 pairs!
