Nike Metcon 5 - the squeak is gone

[biggsandwedge]

Word on the street

is that the Metcon 5 doesn't squeak

Anybody else think that is sweet?

@biggsandwedge A light dusting of baby powder under the insole and the squeak is gone. The leftover chalk dust in the bottom of the chalk bucket would be just as effective.

 

[dawn16]

Can confirm, works like a charm.

@biggsandwedge I wouldn't expect them to now, but often shoes that have a problem with squeaking develop it over a little bit more time than the 5s have been out.

I wouldn't call them squeakless until we have a long time under our belts and a bigger samples size (because not all metcons squeaked to begin with)

@biggsandwedge my metcon 4's never squeaked, they were the first gen ones. That being said I love my nano 9's.

@dawn16 My Metcon 4s (first gen) squeak like mad. So weird.

 

[dawn16]

Also switched from metcon 4s to nano 9s. I love the wider toe box.

I had metcon 4’a, switched to nano 6’s and 8’s, now 9’s

@biggsandwedge My wife: I’ll believe it when I see it

They’ve said this shit before, every pair we’ve bought has squeaked.

@biggsandwedge Can confirm. Used them for over a week now and zero squeak. Comfy too.

 

[dawn16]

@john25 Ran over 6 miles in them and used them for about a week in wods too, just in general they feel a lot different/better than previous versions. Even with the Hyperlift in, they’re still very comfortable.

@biggsandwedge Too bad they’re ugly as sin.

@guidinglight Am I the only one that thinks they look like bowling shoes?

 

[biggsandwedge]

@lippstixk The frasers definitely look like bowling shoes.
