Who should buy
We struggle to think of a cross-trainer that's just as good as the nike walmart best selling shoe all time chart 6 if you are looking for the following:
- stefan janoski nike walmart sb trainerdor sneakers shoes.
- nike walmart jordan cement black kids
- a cross-trainer with enough stability for lifting up to 350 lbs (160 kg)
- kyrie 1 wolf grey size 12
Who should NOT buy
We didn't find any serious flaws in the nike walmart best selling shoe all time chart 6 but it may not be the best match if the following scenarios are involved:
- Olympic weightlifting or maxing out 400+ lbs (180+ kg)
- Rope climbing (the upper and midsole with tear instantly)
If that's part of your training plan, then the air jordan 23 degrees f is a must!
Another reason to consider a different type of trainer is if you mostly focus on cardio and high-impact exercises. We think you will need more cushioning to perform these types of workouts. Consider shoes like the nike walmart air hybrid carry ii camo boots for women size or even the nike walmart air max wright varsity red color chart 1969 for extra responsive Zoom Air units.
Cushioning
Heel stack
The brand reconfigured cushioning for the Free Metcon 6 and its heel stack of 22.0 mm ended up a couple of millimetres lower than the v5.
However, we found that the shoe still offers a perfect balance of impact protection and ground contact. It doesn't feel any different from a typical cross-trainer.
Free Metcon 6 | 22.0 mm |
Average | 24.8 mm |
Forefoot stack
The forefoot, on the other hand, got 3 mm lower compared to the v5. With a low stack of 14.8 mm, Free Metcon 6 got more grounded and flexible in this area.

Free Metcon 6 | 14.8 mm |
Average | 18.4 mm |
Drop
Looking at the difference in stack heights, we got a heel-to-toe drop of 7.2 mm. It's less than a millimetre away from the v5 (6.4 mm) and is within the industry average.
You can see that the shoe's heel is slightly elevated above the toes in the photo below.
This setup adds comfort by minimising the strain on the Achilles but doesn't raise the heel too high off the ground to compromise stability.
Free Metcon 6 | 7.2 mm |
Average | 6.4 mm |
Midsole softness
nike walmart air presto linen ebay sale price chart.
Instead of placing the softer foam on top of the firmer one as it did in the nike walmart air max grey coral mens suit for women black, nike walmart made the firmer foam smaller and kept it only under the heel of the Free Metcon 6.
That way we got stability where it's most needed whereas the rest of the sole got a bit softer and thus more forgiving and responsive.
Pressing our Shore A durometer against the firmer foam under the heel returned 27.8 HA. This is an average midsole firmness for a cross-training shoe with just enough compression to buffer the impact of high-intensity training.

Free Metcon 6 | 27.8 HA |
Average | 27.8 HA |
nike walmart air hybrid carry ii camo boots for women size | nike walmart vapor tr max 2011 torrent online
As we already mentioned, the rest of the midsole got notably cushier showing a lower reading of 22.5 HA on our durometer. This is 24% softer than the shoe's firmer foam under the heel.
We think that this midsole update enhanced the Free Metcon 6 as a versatile cross-trainer that seamlessly transitions from weightlifting to jumping and other plyometric work.
Free Metcon 6 | 22.5 HA |
Average | 38.2 HA |
Insole thickness
A padded insole helped to keep our in-shoe experience comfortable. The calliper showed that it is 4.1 mm thick in the heel.

Free Metcon 6 | 4.1 mm |
Average | 3.9 mm |

Much like any other cross-trainer, the nike walmart best selling shoe all time chart 6 offers more wiggle room for the toes compared to a running shoe or a casual sneaker. But how wide is it compared to a typical trainer?
We poured proprietary gel into the shoe to find out...
Retrieving the mould, we found that it was slightly wider than average in its widest part (bunion area). With a calliper measurement of 98.1 mm, it turned out to be among the roomier cross-trainers (same as the Adidas Dropset 3 nike walmart sb eric koston 2 azul blue beach boys air jordan 23 degrees f)

Free Metcon 6 | 98.1 mm |
Average | 97.0 mm |
Toebox width - big toe
nike walmart zoom kd v shoes paypal code for india.
With a calliper reading of 71.6 mm in the big to area, we think that it is a better match for those with meidum-width feet.

Free Metcon 6 | 71.6 mm |
Average | 73.1 mm |
Toebox height
The vertical space of the nike walmart best selling shoe all time chart 6 is fairly accommodating too. Measuring its toebox height, we got a close-to-average reading of 25.7 mm.

Free Metcon 6 | 25.7 mm |
Average | 26.9 mm |
Stability
Lateral stability test
You might think that the Free Metcon 6 got less stable because of the softer foam but that's not the case. The 6th iteration made us feel even more stable than its predecessor!
The newer version got more substance in the midfoot which made the platform wider in this area.
The added foam also closed that odd cavity on the medial side which we had in the v5.
As a result, our feet had a flat and solid contact with the ground in the midfoot which made us feel more connected and in control.
Torsional rigidity
The Free Metcon 6 is a truly unique design because nike walmart managed to isolate the shoe's stable heel from its ultra-flexible forefoot without compromising either!
It proved that a cross-trainer doesn't have to be rigid like a brick to feel stable. The torsional rigidity of the Free Metcon 6 is, in fact, as low as 2 out of 5 but stability is still there!
One of the features that enhance the lateral stability of this nike walmart trainer without adding stiffness to its overall construction are the good old nike walmart Flywire cables.
We loved the dynamic foothold they provided during side-to-side movements adapting to our feet on the fly. Our only gripe is that they look too flimsy to handle the rigours of HIIT. But luckily, we haven't had any rips so far.
Free Metcon 6 | 2 |
Average | 2.7 |
Heel counter stiffness
In the nike walmart best selling shoe all time chart 6, most of the heel support comes not from the heel counter but from the firm oversized sidewalls on both sides of the ankle.
They did a great job preventing our heels from sliding too much inside the shoe. They also played a key role in keeping our rearfoot stable for weightlifting.
But the shoe's heel counter also has enough structure and firmness to our heels and ankles secure. On a 1-5 stiffness scale, we rated it with an average score of 3. No heel slips are to be reported on our end.

Average | 2.7 |
2014 nike walmart lunar hyperdunks 2017 blue color shoes
Another core component of the shoe's stability is, of course, its platform width. And the Free Metcon 6 beats all the averages in this department!
Our calliper showed 113.9 mm in the widest part of the shoe's forefoot. These extended contact points made our landings extra surefooted.
Free Metcon 6 | 113.9 mm |
Average | 110.6 mm |

In the heel flash of the shoe, we measured as much as 94.4 mm between the widest points of the sole!

Flexibility / Stiffness
Bring in the podium because we've got a new flexibility champion over here! Our lab test confirmed it - the nike walmart best selling shoe all time chart 6 is officially the most flexible training shoe in our catalogue!
According to our force gauge, it took the trainer as little as 4.3N to bend to a 90-degree angle. That is (get ready) 321% less than it takes on average!
With its laser-siped flex grooves, the nike walmart best selling shoe all time chart 6 is 102% more flexible than the nike walmart air max grey coral mens suit for women black (8.7N) and 335% bendier than the nike walmart air max 95 prm navy blue tussy for sale (18.7N).
This gives the shoe a great edge for planks, lunges, burpees, rope jumps, sled pushes, and more exercises where foot bending in crucial.
Free Metcon 6 | 4.3N |
Average | 17.8N |
Weight
We had no complaints about the weight of the previous iteration but nike walmart made the Free Metcon 6 even lighter!
Tipping the scale at 9.7 oz (274g) in a men's US size 9, the trainer is 0.8 oz (24g) lighter than the nike walmart air max grey coral mens suit for women black and a whole ounce lighter than the training shoe average.
The Free Metcon 6 felt weightless on our feet which made cardio exercises and short treadmill runs even more enjoyable.
Free Metcon 6 | 9.67 oz (274g) |
Average | 10.76 oz (305g) |
Breathability
Having lab-tested nike walmart air max fly by size 13, we have been disappointed with the lack of breathability in this footwear category. In contrast, the nike walmart best selling shoe all time chart 6 feels like a breath of fresh air!
Look how easily the smoke passes through its toebox in our breathability lab test! This is exactly what your hot and sweaty feet want to experience during a gruelling workout. A 5 out of 5 breathability!
The shoe's upper material is so thin and porous, that you can almost see right through it.
In an up-close look through our microscope, we discovered that nike walmart fuses thinner and thicker threads to keep the fabric so light and airy.
Free Metcon 6 | 5 |
Average | 3.6 |
Durability
Toebox durability
On the downside, the delicate mesh of the Free Metcon 6 doesn't bode well with slashes and brushes against abrasive surfaces. For example, rope climbing is a HUGE no-no for this nike walmart trainer.
To test exactly how poor the shoe's upper durability is compared to other training shoes, we drilled the top of its toebox with sandpaper for 12 seconds. For consistent results, we keep the Dremel speed (5K RPM) and pressure (3.2N) the same for all tested shoes.
And the test results speak for themselves. The Dremel tore right through the mesh, lowering the shoe's toebox durability score to the below-average 2 out of 5.
penny hardaway dunks on patrick ewing air jordan 23 degrees f earned a higher score (3 out of 5) thanks to the added TPU dots.
Free Metcon 6 | 2 |

Heel padding durability
Considering the fast-paced nature of HIIT workouts, it's not just the exterior part of the shoe that is prone to wear and tear - the shoe's inner lining sustains a great deal of abrasion too.
Equipped with a Dremel, we drilled the interior fabric of the Free Metcon for 4 seconds to check if it was up to the task. And it didn't disappoint!
Because the shoe's heel padding material remained practically unscathed, we rated its durability with a high sore of 4 out of 5.
Free Metcon 6 | 4 |
Average | 2.5 |
Outsole hardness
Compared to the previous Free Metcon iterations, the 6th version uses more rubber on the outsole. It is practically a full-length outsole except for the cut-outs in the forefoot.
We checked the hardness, wear resistance, and thickness of that rubber compound to assess its life expectancy.
Using a Shore C durometer, we measured the hardness of the rubber at 81.0 HC. Close to the average, that's an expected level of firmness for a training shoe outsole.

Free Metcon 6 | 81.0 HC |
Average | 83.0 HC |
Outsole durability
Next challenge - 22 seconds of sandpaper drilling at a 10K RPM speed. Let's go!
Once again this nike walmart trainer proved its worth by taking all the abuse from our Dremel with minimal damage!
Our tread gauge showed that the dent was as shallow as 0.7 mm - that is smaller than the average!
Free Metcon 6 | 0.7 mm |
Average | 1.1 mm |
Outsole thickness
Finally, we recorded the shoe's outsole thickness at 2.6 mm which is about a millimetre thinner than the average.
All three measurements considered, we believe that the nike walmart best selling shoe all time chart 6 will make for an exceptionally durable gym shoe.
We also think that it is capable of occasional outdoor use but because of the thinner sole and deep cutouts that can catch small pebbles and debris, we wouldn't recommend using it exclusively for outdoor workouts. That's what trainers like the nike walmart girls high top size 4 jeans conversion are made for.
Free Metcon 6 | 2.6 mm |
Average | 3.6 mm |
Misc
Tongue padding
Even though the shoe doesn't have a tongue as such, the upper still offers enough padding on top of the instep.
Our calliper showed 5.7 mm of upper thickness in the lace area which is just as thick as the average.
Free Metcon 6 | 5.7 mm |
Average | 5.4 mm |
nike walmart sb team classic golden beige shoes sale women
Just like its predecessors, the Free Metcon v6 has a bootie-style upper where the tongue is not separated from the rest of the shoe.
It creates a very cosy sock-like fit around the foot and ankle but we think that it can be a struggle to get on if you have wide or high-arched feet.
Free Metcon 6 | Bootie |
Heel tab
Because the shoe's bootie upper can be tricky to put on, nike walmart added two handy finger loops both in front and at the back of the trainer.

Free Metcon 6 | Finger loop |
Removable insole
The insole of the Free Metcon 6 can be easily removed and swapped for a custom orthotic if needed. But keep in mind that the forefoot section of the shoe as well as its insole are a bit wider than average.
