Based on looks alone, I vote metcon

The Metcons do look A LOT better but I’ve heard that the Nano 8s are the better CrossFit/cross trainer

I’ve had models of each pair before. Several Nanos and several metcons but haven’t bought a new pair in a couple years.

I have those metcons and I love them for the gym, but they really suck as running/walking shoes. I get blisters every time I walk more than 3 miles.

Metcon 4 is the best shoe out there

I just bought the Reebok nano 8. They look just as good as metcon and have tons of color variations on Amazon. I paid 119 with free shipping on prime and got a pretty dope looking Hunter green pair. Reebok shoes seem to last forever for me. Most importantly though it's the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. I strongly recommend the reebok.

Metcons are some of the best shoes I have owned.

Go to EBay and buy some Nano 2's or 3's. I've had Metcon 2's and 3's and they're just not as good of a shoes as nanos. Anything after the nano 4's are too ugly for my taste.

Huge fan of the nano 8 Flex weave. I am very picky. The comfort is second to none and the white looks super clean!

Went for my first run this morning in my new Reebok nano 8s. They felt great. Kinda like having pillows on your feet with every stride. I'm even more impressed with them now.

Ive always hated the nanos and I’ve been a metcon fanboy since they came out. Tried every shoe on the market 3 months ago. Nano 8 flexweaves were by far the best IMO. It shocked me. Still love them

Bought the white ones with camo splash about two months ago. They're okay, but overpriced. I mostly use them for lifting, but also indoor basketball. fricked up the spine of the right one just playing pick up, which could irritate my plantar fasciitis, so I might be getting new ones soon. Mostly just disappointed how quickly I'm gonna have to replace them.

Went with the Nano 8 flexweave. I’ve tried the metcons on in store and wasn’t terrible blown away. Didn’t seem to have changed much since the 2s that are still sitting in my closet.

I hadn’t bought a pair of nanos since the 5.0s and I’m excited to see the comfort. I got the ones above in the photo.
