Tell me about CrossFit shoes

[IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads]

After 7 months of CrossFit, the time has come to retire my running shoes back to running and invest in some dedicated cross training shoes.

I've been browsing, but I am bamboozled by choice. My coach has recommended Nike Metcon, Reebok Nano or Inov8 Flite(?). There just so many variations within each range. I've noticed that Under Armour do some too!

My feet are a size 9 and wide. Other Nike trainers have always been too narrow. Inov8 seem too "straight" for my feet (a podiatrist once told me I had banana shaped feet).

I don't think I've found any women's 9s on stock in my browsing (in other shoes men's 9s are too generally too deep and wide).

Any recommendations? And what size do you take normally, and in your CrossFit shoes? I'm a bit too rural and a bit too busy to get to an actual shop for weeks.

Thanks

I don't do CrossFit but my nike metcons are 6.5, my Adidas lifters are also 6.5. My sketchers normal trainers are 6 and some trainers from next are 6 so hopefully that gives an idea of size.

And I think my feet are on the wide side too

Thank you, that's useful to know

Nanos are wide! Although mine are a couple of years old, I believe they still are.

I also have wide, size nine feet, and I have the Nike Metcon, men's. I don't recommend at all, I'm afraid. They are from 2019, so maybe newer models have been revised, but based on the pair I have I certainly wouldn't consider them again, nor recommend them.

My crossfit trainer recommended Nike Metcon 4 and I think they're fab. Others at our studio have them too.I
