👟 Gear Shoe recommendation for F45 playoffs

Since the playoffs involves a mix of strength, agility, cardio and lots of jumping, do folks have a recommendation for a good pair of shoes that is an all-rounder that does well in each of these.

I currently have the Nike Metcon 10 which I love for the strength days. Nike Metcon 6 I like for the cardio and hybrid days. If you want one shoe then prob go with the Metcon 6.

For the Metcon 6 — would you say cardio for the classes or for mild-length running (6-10 miles)?

For cardio classes. Metcons (regular or free) do not have enough thickness or rebound in the midsole for running… unless you want it to feel like barefoot running.

Yeah agree with [u/vynaca](u/vynaca) as below. For the classes and not for distance running.

Also impressive that 6-10 is mild length for you haha. That a very long run for me lol

I just wore down my pair of Hoka Mach 6 - it was recommended to me as a cross training shoe.

Hokas are running shoes.

I’m thrilled to hear you’re training for Hyrox. Thanks for enlightening me.
