We have a LEGENDARY cross-training shoe showdown today which includes the Nike Metcon 7 Vs Reebok Nano X1 Vs Nike Metcon 6 Vs Reebok Nano X.
With the release of the Nike Metcon 7, I've received a ton of questions about which model to go with. The Nike Metcon 7 is super different compared to the Reebok Nano X1, Nike Metcon 6, and Reebok Nano X, and each shoe has its own lists of pros and cons.
In this Nike Metcon 7, Nike Metcon 6, Reebok Nano X1, and Reebok Nano X comparison breakdown, I've broken the video into multiple categories:
0:00 Like & Subscribe
0:31 Best for Lifting
3:51 Best for Versatility
6:51 Durability and Price
10:35 Sizing Comparison
12:59 Construction Breakdown
My hope is that this video helps you assess which model is best for your needs. Personally, I like all of these models for specific activities - it really comes down to the context in which you plan to use them.
The Nike Metcon 6 and Reebok Nano X will be your most stable options for lifting and feature a lower 4mm heel-to-toe drop.
The Nike Metcon 7 and Reebok Nano X1 are both solid options for recreational lifting and versatile training with a slightly higher 7mm heel-to-toe drop.

Thank you for all the effort you put into these reviews!! I have the most complicated feet, super high arch, wide foot, orthotics, and surgery on my ankle that did not heal well which causes further problems. Because most crossfit type shoes can not be found in stores, it makes finding the right shoe a process of constant returns. I really appreciate all the detailed information you offer which is what helped me to find the right shoe.
Hey! I really appreciate you saying that, sincerely, it helps keep me motivated and producing. I'm stoked to have helped and been part of your journey. If you ever have further questions or specifics, always feel free to reach out!
Definitely a great individual shoe evaluation and comparisons. Thank you!
Thank you!!
You did this overview proper my man. GG
Thank you! 💪💪
When I saw the X1 I was closing the video, then I saw you throwing the X1 and pick up the Adventure! I love your video
Hahah, it’s just a better model 😂
dude i love pheasyque and im not a huge halterofi fan but you rock.... i have never seen analysis like this
Very helpful review.. thanks you
Glad it helped! Thank you for watching 💪
Great review!
Thank you!
Great review!
My first crossfit shoes was a metcon 2 then a nano 7. Based on these 2 my experience says Metcons are waaayy more comfortable to my feet than the nano.
Not sure about nowadays but based on that past experience I stay with the metcons!
Thank you! Love it - so important to recognize which shoe lasts work best for your anatomy 💪💪
Jake you are KILLING IT! Nice one man. Onwards and upwards!
Thank you, appreciate you! 💪
great review!!
Thank you 💪
Another great video! Personally, i love my metcon 6s, but i might try the nano X one day...
Thank you! If they’re working, keep rocking em’. If anything the Xs will only go down more in the future 👀💪
This is a great comparison! All of these shoes are awesome for training but, I personally love my Nano Xs. They're comfortable for my wide feet and SOLID for lifting. Actually throwing on my Nanos for some deads tomorrow morning!👌
Hell yeah 💪 and thank you!
@@thatfitfriend lol not that it matters at all but it always makes me laugh or curious about when you say you lift well over like “350” which don’t get me wrong is hella impressive weight, but how much weight are we talking abt. Like I said it really doesn’t matter, I always just wondered
@@D-Breezy94 depends on the context! In every cross-training shoes I do the same lifting tests, then add a bit more or less depending on the specialty of the shoe.
For models that are designed for CrossFit or lifting, I make a point to deadlift between 455-515 lbs in the model and for squats I’ll make a point to hit between 350-405 which scales on the shoes and my training cycle.
I eventually want to build a video sharing my testing protocols and explaining the rationale. Great question. I always try to share a loading reference. Plus, I’m not a huge fan of the reviewers who are like “this model is stable”, then share them lifting 135 lbs etc. For ex, what is that really telling someone who’s well past that threshold?
Ps - I know I’m def not the strongest and it’s never a flex. Just an attempt to add more context 💪
Finally replacing my trusted Nano 5s! Have used them for years now, they've held up well but now it's time for them to hit the bin. Probably going for the Metcon 7s.
Hey bruh. Ty for this video. I was stuck between Metcon 7/Nano X1 or getting both. But now ordered a reebok zig Kinetica li for running & the Nano X1 Adventure for training , after seeing this video & your previous video talking about Adventure being much better then the regular X1 and that Adventure does not dig into the heel and Achilles.
You do such a good job with your comparison style and format detailed and not boring. Love it . Much respect and surely will see you become the King of this niche sports and training shoe review category on YT.
Hope you break out, get more exposure and reach a 100k subscribers milestone in the next 4-5 months. Add some training routine vids, diet or exercise vlogs also some fun RUclips short fitness or workout tips vids and flaunt the shoes 🙂to get some more exposure. Cheers Boi and good luck 🍀
This comment made my day, for real.
That’s awesome, I’m happy the video helped you out! Keep me posted on how you like the Adventures.
I really do appreciate your feedback + sharing your thoughts, it helps keep me motivated! 💪
@@thatfitfriend bro bro I got my Adventure delivered to me two days ago. Man I love them. I had a light work out in them yesterday did some sprints, HIIT and chest workout. (Didn't do a full heavy workout as had also got my covid jab a day ago, but could not resist to put the shoes on and try them 🤣)
They are really light, comfortable and I like the fit.
Before I just used to invest in a good running shoe and then also use them for training too, I was skeptical being a marketing & branding guy myself that training shoes are just another marketing hype but nah these do feel so good. (Was marketing manager for Mercedes Benz cars for 5yrs now run own consulting firm)
The retail stores had them with the full price but I got 15% off by buying them from the Reebok website as they had this promotion running where you make an account and sign up online and get a 15% code in your e-mail and so I used that 🙂
Not only they are so comfortable they look good too so my sister also put in her order for a pair of Adventures yesterday. (Ps also got my running pair of the reebok zig kinetica li and bruh they are awesome, do check them out )
Cheers🍻
@@garryk2766 oh hell yeah! Stoked to hear you’re enjoying them! Love the feedback & analysis - thank you for sharing 💪💪
@@thatfitfriend thanks mate and pls do make a discord community for all of us so not only we can stay updated with your posts and reviews but we can build up a fun discord server and share our pics of shoes we buy with you too and also share news on new products with you too to test, etc. It will help you grow too and we can share idea and feedbacks with you. It's your video that made me get the Adventure and am so happy😁 Good Day
@@garryk2766 I LOVE this idea - I actually have a training app going live soon and wanted to do a discord for that community! Maybe I’ll have two separate channels for product focused athletes and athletes part of the training crew.
I appreciate your suggestions and rocking with me 💪
Hey Jake, can you recommend me a shoe for lifting, cardio/sprint sessions which can also be used for daily walking without compromising on comfort.
Given I have flat feet.
your reviews are very helpful! i love my nano x’s. thinking of getting the metcon 7s, but the colourways available in south east asia are a bit.. meh. hello from Malaysia!
Thank you! Might be worth waiting until your Nano X is a bit more on the way out and you see a Metcon 7 that you really like 💪💪
Bro Malaysia here too. Have you found a shop to test out the metcon 7? I've only had Nanos.
Great comparison. I love my nano x's and honestly wouldn't trade them for anything lol
Awesome vid very helpful. Which would you suggest would be best for crossfit as well as being able to do short 10km runs in. I don't lift very heavy and do a lot of body weight calisthenics
Thank you - with CrossFit, are you rope climbing a lot? The Nano X1 would be my suggestion, but it's not great for rope climbs, so if your CrossFit is pretty chill with climbs or you s-lock, then you should be safe with that model. J-hook climbing is what really does that shoe in!
You can’t go wrong with any of these choices BUT the X1 is the worst of the bunch for pure lifting. It’s the best runner and plyo shoe though. Loving the Metcon 7s for lifting and plyo stuff. Ran a mile in them on a treadmill and they were ok. The 6 is pretty all around good though it’s a tad soft in the heel for lifting but I’ve hit some big PRs in them. It’s a great time to be a crossfitter with all of these amazing options.
Was waiting for your comment and feedback 💪🙌🏼
Hey Jake. Loved this breakdown. Was wondering the same thing. I actually ended up getting the Reebok Nano 9 and I love them so far. Would you say that these are all major upgrades to the Nano 9? I can’t imagine anything being much better, but I’m just curious overall. I mostly do powerlifting in them if that helps.
Not major at all - the 9 is a freaking awesome shoe, too, and I’d say stick with it until it breaks down and it’s time 💪 you made a good choice
@@thatfitfriend thanks for confirming Jake. Really good to know. Fortunately or unfortunately, I’ve never had shoes outside of running and work dress shoes break down on me so seems like the 9s will last a while. Does that mean I’m not working out hard enough? Hah!
Maybe I’ll pick up a pair of one of these shoes in the future anyway so I have a nice rotation. I have your reviews to thank for that!
@@jamestonbellajo not at all - the 9 is pretty durable and if you only wear them for training, then you’ll have a shoe that lasts for a while 💪
I appreciate your feedback & for rocking with me!
Great review! How would you compare the Nike Metcon 7 to the On Running Cloud X for cross training? I rarely lift heavier than 200lbs in any of the main compound movements. I was given a trial of the Cloud Xs over the weekend and really liked them for running and training but from your reviews it sounds like the Metcon 7 might be a better middle ground for lifting and agility training?
Thank you!
Tbh, if you’re not planning on going super heavy and like the Cloud X, then it’s definitely not a bad call keeping those! The 7s will be a better all-arounder for functional fitness, but if you’re not in need of some of the niche features, then the Cloud X will likely be just fine for you per your needs 💪💪
@@thatfitfriend great! Thanks!
I just commented your other video, lol
Thanks for this
Haha, RUclips inception! 💪
Love the nano X’s
Love the Metcon s 6
Did not like nano x1 (hurt my heels)
Still need to try mtcn 7
Queria um vídeo assim em português, rs. Parabéns pelo comparativo!!
Is there a rule of thumb on how long you should be using a pair of shoes for training? I do F45 HIIT style workouts 5-6x a week for reference!
I’ve filmed a video on that before and I’m linking it below! Tbh, there’s a lot of context needed here and unlike running shoes, you can generally have training shoes last a lot longer if you’re only wearing them for training.
Check out the video below and shout if you have any questions. If there’s no degree of breakdown that is hindering performance, then your shoes likely don’t need to replaced ☺️
ruclips.net/video/V-wfbCmEOvI/видео.html
Would the extension of the midfoot and the higher heel-to-toe drop make the Metcon 7 better for lifting?
It depends! There’s a lot of context needed when we talk about different drops being better for certain lifters.
If a lifter enjoys have a slightly more forward knee translation, then it could certainly be better. However, some lifters love a flatter, more low to the ground shoe, so in that case, the 6 or X could be better!
Which one would you recommend for Olympic lifting? I’ve never really used training shoes before but I feel like I should start using them for better stability. I feel Metcon 7 would work the best based on your review
Tbh, all of these models will work well! The 6 is also another awesome option because of the additional hyperlift you can use which gives you a bit more heel which many prefer for Oly lifting!
Loved the review. Have you tried the new inov8’s yet? Leaning towards the metcon 7’s but my wife just got the new inov8’s and loves them and think I should give them a shot 🤔
Thank you! Which model are you referencing?
@@thatfitfriend I believe those F-Lite G300 ones!
@@MrMthayer1 ah yes! I’ve reviewed them on my site (linking review below!). They’re a solid model, if you can find them on sale, then they might be the move.
thatfitfriend.com/inov-8-f-lite-g-300-review/
Hmmm those metcon 7's do be looking pretty good... Also I love Oh Wonder, they make dope ass songs
Great Review Jake.
Question, I never owned any Metcons or Reebok training shoes. Since lockdown, I started to get into intense cardio, hiit, strength training and jumping rope. Which shoe would you recommend that I get between the Metcon or Reebok.
Thank you! Honestly, either or should work fine for you. Metcon fit a more narrow and the 7 is pretty versatile. The X1 is a solid, safe bet and the X is going to not likely be your best call because it’s not the most versatile for cardio/HIIT.
@@thatfitfriend I went with the Metcon 7, yes they are narrow but went up a halfer size and it was a perfect fit. Tried on the Nano X1 as well and the shoe was too loose for me due to the wider fit. Thank you, for your response, it was a great help.
@@sha2314 Awesome, glad you found a pair that you like! Have a great week :)
Love your content and got hooked in a day! Question: I mostly do plyo, short sprints, and crossfit type workouts however with less barbell lifting and more db weighted moves. I train 5-6 days per week and need a new shoe. Watched your videos and tried some on: metcons too tight and not enough midsole cushion for jumps/plyo and the reebok nano x felt better but still not enough cushion for jumps. I always fall back on an old pair of nike free trains for a multipurpose shoe. What do you think? Thanks.
Hey, thank you so much!
Great Q - If training super heavy isn't the biggest concern, then I'd definitely consider more versatile/responsive options firsts. The Nano X1 could be a good call or the React Metcon Turbo. The ON Cloud X is also another solid option for tackling these tasks. However, if what you're wearing now works, too, then I'd say stick with what works well and rock that! If it's not broke, there may be no need to fix it :)
@@thatfitfriendThanks for your great review. I have the same question as you above. mainly do jumps, plyometrics and sprint exercises. I am deciding between reebok and metcon. What are the best shoes to practice them in? Thanks a lot
Thanks for the great review. I also have the same question as you. mainly do jumping jacks and plyometrics exercises. Currently, I do not know which shoes to choose the most suitable for the above exercises.
@@PhucTran-hj3jg I would go Nano for your context :)
@@thatfitfriend Thanks a lot. Currently I am using Asics gelhoop v14 basketball shoes to practice. Are these shoes any good? Thanks for your quick response
I'm currently still wearing a pair of nano 6's at US 9, what size would you recommend for a nano x1 adventure? I already know i won't fit the metcons as I have wide feet.
The 6s are so solid. You should be safe sticking with a 9 for the Nano X1 Adventure, too!
How does the metcon 7 compare to the nano 10/11 in terms of width? My flat, wide feet fit perfectly in the nano’s and I was wondering how the metcons would fit.
The Metcon 7 is a bit narrower through the mid with a little more arch support. If you liked how the X/11 fit, then the X2 may be worth exploring, honestly.
7s could work, but really tough to say definitively without knowing your foot anatomy better!
Have you tried the Strike Mvmt haze trainers yet? Debating between those and the Metcon 7s for my wide feet
I just ordered a pair! They’re one of my next individual reviews scheduled 💪
@@thatfitfriend Awesome! Can’t wait. It sure is difficult finding a good show for wide feet, so I’ve been doing a lot of research. Besides the haze that you’re testing out, are there any other new models of trainers that you know of that are good for wide feet?
If I was just going to lift in the metcon 7s, would you recommend ordering the same size that I wear in romaleos?
I think so! They're both a bit more neutral/narrow in nature.
Hey Jake Nice video very detailed ! Just a quick question. I'm looking into metcon 7 and nano x1. I mainly do weightlifting (deadlifts, squats etc) and sprints and plyos. Which shoe would you suggest ?
Thank you! What do you currently wear?
@@thatfitfriend hello sir, I currently wear adidas alphabounce
@@vanangelopaz1412 dope - so, if you like a more narrow fitting shoe, then the Metcon will fit you well and it’s a solid versatile. However, if you like to train outside and want a tad more box room, then the X1 Adventure would be a really good call.
Either way, you can’t really go Wrong. The 7 is a tad more die hard in nature with cross training but the X1 works for a ton of folks, too! 💪
@@thatfitfriend Thank you sir, very much appreciate your response ! Definitely gave me an idea now on which pair to get ! Thanks a mill
@@vanangelopaz1412 you’re welcome 💪💪
Hello sir! First of all great job with the video and all the info!
And now the big question...
Can you help me and recommend which shoes should i look for since i have narrow foot and i cant find a good fit...
I have metcon 2 flyknit and they are great but i have kiled them haha
And now i tried metcon 7 and they have to much space in toe area ...
Tnx in advance ! Stay strong and awesome !
Thank you!
What type of training do you want the shoes for? I can make better suggestions with a bit more context!
@@thatfitfriend i do functional training its a mix of weight lifting/callisthenics/gymnastic.
Main problem is that nike metcon 7 is still to wide in toe area... everything else is good
My nano 2.0 is worn out, but can't decide on a new. Discovered the 10, but it is all sold out in DK. I'm not interested in 11. Guess I'll check out 9, but if 10 is gone well :o
Yeah, I’d say explore other retailers to see if they have any 9/Xs in stock! Good luck searching 😊
Between the Nano X1/X1 Grit and Metcon 6, which would you recommend for more basketball strength training (a lot of jumping, pluometric, side to side lateral moving, etc.) as well as heavy weight lifting? Or are there any others you would recommend? Those are just the two I’ve seen at the local outlet mall. Thanks!
I would say go with the Grit - they should be solid for blending a bit of everything together! The break-in period can be annoying for some folks so wear longer socks for the first few weeks if you notice you're getting any Achilles rub.
@@thatfitfriend thank you!
@@andrewsu51 welcome!
Hey Jake.Is the size of NANO X1 ADVENTURE larger than NANO X1?
It feels snugger in the toe box due to the upper differences, but nothing crazy noticeable in regard to length/width. Last is similar otherwise
hi Jake! love your video, wanted to ask, I am stuck between nanoflex tr (not in here :"D) or the nike react 7, which one would you recommend? I have very narrow and super flat feet, literally flat and no curve at all. I exercise every day and mostly do HIIT and lifting. Thank you!
Nanoflex TR was be a bit uncomfortable for you m and the Nike is prob the slightly better call here!
Also, in regard to foot strength, do you ever practice active foot drills in your training?
@@thatfitfriend thank you so much for the recommendation.i might get the bike react 7/ react 7 flyease then, style-wise is also what I prefer. I have never… I definitely should have, shouldn't i 🤣🥲
@@danicaevve I think those would be a good choice to try!
Could be helpful! I have a video on some basic exercises you can add in that won’t take a ton of time and can help build your arch strength 💪💪
@@thatfitfriend i actually have bought mine yesterday and tried it on this morning 🤣 honestly couldnt fit and feel any better! So thank you so much for the recco. Will incorporate your videos starting tomorrow too, thanks againn 🤞🏻💪🏻
@@danicaevve awesome! Keep me posted and reach out if you ever need assistance 💪
I’m someone with flat feet and finding a good shoe for lifting is super difficult for me. I’ve been looking for a good shoe for lifting what would you suggest?
What do you currently wear? Do you often like a shoe with more arch support?
@@thatfitfriend I started off with Nike city trainers and flex trainers initially but not a big fan of the trainers with arch support… I do a lot of functional training and CrossFit occasionally…
Hey mate! how are your metcon7 still lasting?
Meh, outsole is lipping on right shoes at the base of pinky toe and I think this is due to training outdoors in them. If I didn’t use them for so much outdoor work they’d probably be lasting longer!
Just got my Nano X1 Adventure for 63€ (about 71 USD) for outdoor fitness and bodyweight training. I hope it was the right choice.
Keep me posted! That’s a good deal
For powerlifting movements... metcon 6 or 7?
I always say 6, better stability and you get the hyperlift insert to elevate the heel if you like squatting with a slightly more elevated heel!
Hey Jake! Is the Metcon 7 good for people with a flat foot and a wider midfoot?
Hey! Not the best model. They fit pretty slim throughout with a low profile boot
@@thatfitfriend thank you so much for your response! I'm leaning towards the Nano X1 Adventure knowing that considering it's wider and your review of it looks good! What are your views on the X1 adventure's comfort in running? Are they comfortable for running and responsive?
@@rahulbhagchandani6585 of course!
They’re okay for shorter runs, I’d say cap them to 2-3 miles at a time. I actually wore them today for a 13-mile hike and they were fine overall. 💪
@@thatfitfriend thanks a lot, Jake, you're awesome!
I just need a little more help with some shoe advise, I've texted you on your Instagram, so if possible would love to get advice there 💙
Did Metcon6 have the same width of toe box as NanoX?
Similar, but the X is a tiny bit wider
@@thatfitfriend thx man, reply so fast! I wasn’t able to react haha
But I will buy nanoX for my fat toes
@@inyourdream309 haha, that’s because I’m always online working 😂
Keep me posted with how you like them!
Hey Jake, wide footed guy here.
Don’t have the Nano X available in my country neither the nobulls
Can you help me choose between the following
1. Nike Metcon 7 (6 was a bit tight for me)
2. UA project rock 3
3. Nike MC trainer
4. Reebok Nano X1
5. Reebok Flashfilm train 2.0
Anything else ? 🥲 I’m short of options as the good ones aren’t available in my sizes and the metcon 6 was awesome, just too tight due to my wide feet 🦶🏼
Was just about to reply to our other thread :)
If you can get the Nano X1 Adventures, I'd say go for those. They should fit you better and they're one of my faves currently for training. Is that model available for you?
@@thatfitfriend haha I’m bothering you everywhere. Appreciate your replies Jake ❤️ and X adventure unfortunately not in my size. I’m guessing reebok doesn’t re-stock the older models in my country too well. The X1’s , flashfilm are available everywhere. Do you think I should give the Metcon 7 a try, even though the 6 were a just a tad too tight even after a couple of workout sessions? I’m guessing Superrep go 2 isn’t the best for stability, right?
@@aaqibbora3176 no bother at all, seriously!
The Nano X1 Grit would be a decent runner-up. I’m nervous you’ll have the same width issue in the 7, honestly. The flash and super are okay, but not really geared towards lifting. Are the UA HOVR Rise 2s available, btw?
@@thatfitfriend Let me try and get my hands on X1 adventure, its rarely available but there’s a slim chance. You recommend that over UA hovr rise 2? What do you think about the Project Rock 3 compared to the nano x1 adventure and hovr rise 2?
@@aaqibbora3176 Adventure >> Rise 2 >> PR in that order!
Just got the metcon 7's looks way better than the metcon 8's. Sincerely from the future
😂😂😂
minor remark, missing a NOBULL and an UA in the comparison
Not a full round-up yet…that video is coming soon 🤫
@Brandon Loves Games freaking agreed…tough recommending them in most contexts
metcon 6 just wins, its such a complete shoe. if you want to run, choose 7's, otherwise 6 just is superior
great video by the way man
Appreciate the feedback & your insights 💪 the beauty of the 7 is the better prices on 6,s, too!
21 minute video with no conclusion? Pick a winner thats all we want to know
Winner is based on the training context in which you want to use them and that’s why I have sections baked in with time stamps. Also, I add time stamps so you can jump around! I don't want you to watch the whole 21-minutes.
If you want a model primarily for lifting, CrossFit, etc. I have picked shoes for those settings.
There’s always an ebb and flow with trainers, so it’s hard to say this one is always the best because it does their construction + how people train a disservice. Now, if you were holding me over a cliff and I had to pick one of these…then I’d probably go metcon 7!
