An ultra-strong Hyperlift plate under your heel (where you need it most) optimizes stability for heavy lifts—like squats, dead lifts and cleans—without compromising the ride. A wider toe box compared to the Metcon 9 lets your toes extend outward and helps you optimize your power through your whole foot.
We updated the midsole with lightweight ReactX foam to increase energy return. It combines with flex grooves on the outsole to give you flexible, responsive cushioning when doing high-intensity exercises like box jumps and quick sprints.
A tough, sticky texture strategically placed on the midfoot and toe—high wear-and-tear areas—delivers game-changing grip and durability. A new traction pattern provides a flat, sticky surface for lifting on even the sweatiest of surfaces.
The midfoot band helps secure your foot onto the footbed when you pull on the laces. Combined with a sturdy heel cup and lace tuck, it allows you to focus on your form and not shifting or slipping.
Open-holed engineered mesh provides breathability. Midsole rubber wrap is more tuned, lighter and less bulky than the Metcon 9. Tough plastic heel clip provides durability for handstand push-ups.
