Whatever your "why" is for working out, the Metcon 9 makes it all worth it. Improved on from the 8 with a larger Hyperlift plate and added rubber rope wrap. Intended for lifters, trainers, and go-getters, some of the greatest athletes in the world swear by it, and it's still the gold standard that delivers day after day. Tougher and Stronger The HyperLift plate in the heel is even bigger for better stability when getting after tough workouts like split squats, deadlifts and other lower body exercises.    The plate helps force weight down and out while adding rigidity to the heel. That firmness helps you feel grounded and supported, specifically under heavier loads. Lock Into Place The lace lock system attaches to the shoe tongue, so you don’t have to worry about latching it to any fabric. It helps keep your laces in place, so once you tie up, you can focus solely on your workout. Go to the Top The rubber wrap is extended on the medial side adds durability and support, that way you can scale any kind of rope climb with the same repeated velocity without worrying about wear and tear. Durable and Cool Lightweight, breathable mesh helps keep your foot cool yet sports the kind of enduring durability that can withstand scrapes, slashes, and quick drag movements. Feel the Foam Dual-density foam provides responsive cushioning for lasting comfort for continuous cardio and movements.
