I love doing HIIT workouts, weight training and running. I always wear a neutral shoe, and for the most part, wear a 9.5 in athletic shoes. I found the Brooks Levitate to run small and sized up to a 10, the Adidas Energy Cloud run a bit bigger and sized down to a 9, these New Balance Arishi run normal and I got a 9.5, the Nike Flex Trainer 8 fit normal and I got a 9.5, these Nike Metcon Free shoes are actually mens and I got equivalent to a 9.5 in women’s and the Coral New Balance Zante 4 I found to run a little small and sized up to a 10.

Let me state that I am VERY PICKY ABOUT MY ATHLETIC SHOES!!!!! Like……VERY!!!!!

NIke Free TR8 Review

09.15.2018 by awellpacedlife // Leave a Comment

Hi Everyone! If you don’t know this about me yet, I am a HUGE ATHLETIC SHOE FANATIC!!! If money were no object, I would have probably 20 pair!!! Most of the time, reading reviews will definitely have an influence in purchasing a certain style. I decided to give you an honest review, myself, of this style. I purchased the Nike Free TR8 shoes when Nordstrom was having their Anniversary sale. They were a great buy, and what a good-looking shoe!!! Find out what I liked, or didn’t like in my video below! The Nike Free line has quite the “cult” following. It’s widely popular and known for their comfort, lightweight and flexibility, but is that enough to make me keep the shoe????

A recap of the style, according to the Nike site:

The Women’s Gym/HIIT/Cross Training Shoe has a stronger heel than ever before, plus extra cushioning that hugs and contains your foot. The sole is still unbelievably flexible, offering a natural, lightweight feel and lateral support through every rep.

Greater Stability

The heel is flatter than it was in previous models, which creates a wider surface area and greater stability for exercises like squats. An added layer of material over the heel gives it more durability and structure.

Cushioned Support

This edition of the Free TR has a second layer of soft foam cushioning that wraps your foot in a snug, supportive hug. It allows your foot to sit deeper in the shoe for better support as you move from side to side.

Ultra Flexible

Deep grooves and cutouts in the sole allow the shoe to flex and expand in every direction. This means an incredibly natural, lightweight feel.

More Details

Mesh is extremely durable, flexible and breathable
Ultralight Flywire cables integrate with the laces for midfoot lockdown
Full inner-sleeve provides a sock-like fit
Foam and mesh collar for breathable comfort
Rubber pods in high-wear areas for excellent traction

Nike Womens Metcon 4 Training Shoe

Nike Women’s Metcon 4 Training Shoe

Today I am talking all about the Nike Women’s Metcon 4 Training shoe. I love trying new workout shoes, but I also hate to part with them once they’re broken down. It’s as if I have formed a bond with them. After all, we’ve done so many training sessions together, hard work and sweat, it’s hard to just toss them! Does anyone else find it hard to toss their old sneakers? Please tell me I’m not the only one!!!

I had heard so many great things and read great reviews of this shoe, that I had to see for myself. Let me also say; I always give you guys my honest review of something, after I’ve had time to break it in and wear it for quite a while. It wouldn’t be fair to give you a review of a shoe that I haven’t even worn, or perhaps wore it once or twice in a training session. It takes time to break a pair in, and also for your feet to acclimate to a different pair.

Last week I was reviewing my Nike In Season TR 7 pair, so if you haven’t watched my video, you can view it here. If you’re on the hunt for some trainers, I definitely recommend you watch both of these videos.

Before deciding on a pair of trainers, you’ll need to look for a few things in a pair of trainers:

If you’ll be doing any h.i.i.t movements, you’ll need a bit of cushioning in the sole, but not as much as running shoes have in them, due to the fact that over-cushioning can affect your balance when you’re doing a lot of side to side, jumping, etc. movements.
STABILITY- most importantly! You want to make sure your foot is protected and doesn’t move around much
Grip- You dont want slippery soles when you’re lifting heavy weights, for sure!
Breathability- you’ll need this so your feet don’t get so hot that you’re miserable and be distracted from your training sessions
Light & Flexible
Least amount of heal drop

The Nike Women’s Metcon 4 is a gorgeous shoe, available in tons of colors, and here is where I purchased mine. They were running a good sized sale, so I was able to snag a pair. You can usually find a great deal on shoes here on Ebay, also! I’ve found tons of authentic, good products there, you just need to make sure you read the fine print and ask the seller questions if you have any doubt!
