Overview
The Reebok Nano has deep roots in CrossFit — Reebok was the official CrossFit Games sponsor for years. The Nano X4 is the most running-friendly version of the Nano to date, making it a strong option for athletes whose programming includes longer runs mixed with lifting.
Who Should Choose Nano X4 Over Metcon
- Wide feet or bunions — the Nano’s toe box is significantly roomier
- Programming with runs over 400m regularly — the extra cushioning matters
- Athletes who find the Metcon’s heel cup uncomfortable
Who Should Stick with Metcon
- Heavy Olympic lifting focus — the Metcon’s lower heel and wider base is more stable
- Frequent rope climbers — Metcon’s rope wrap is superior
