NIKE Women's Mc Trainer Training Shoe

Product Information

Second, the increased mobility in this shoe is awesome for explosive and multi-directional training. For HIIT workouts and athletic-style training, I thought the Nike MC Trainer 2 did a pretty good job. But if you have wide feet, this is probably not your best bet. It could even seem a little tight if you have a mid-range foot. While I like the Nike MC Trainer 2 and think it’s better than the original model, there are a few cons to note about this shoe before investing in them.

This shoe’s midsole provides a nice level of stability and when working with trap bar deadlifts over 425 lbs, I didn’t notice any glaring compression issues with this shoe. I also liked the level of tread the outsole provided on different surfaces.

On top of this, since this shoe has a low-profile boot construction and it can be prone to heel slip issues, sizing up will probably not be an option for most lifters and athletes. For wide and even flat feet, the size inclusivity of this model just isn’t there. Performance For the Nike MC Trainer 2, if you have narrow or neutral (normal) width feet, then you should be safe going true to size in this model. This model’s length runs true and it has a narrow and neutral width or a more athletic fit. To discuss the performance of the Nike MC Trainer 2, I’m going to break down how this shoe performs in different training contexts. I’ll talk about this shoe’s performance for lifting, versatile training, shorter runs, and daily wear. Another thing to like about this model for lifting is that I feel as though it articulates a little better than the previous MC Trainer and other budget-friendly training shoes. When doing sled work and lunges, this shoe’s toe box offered a fair amount of flexibility. Since we all have different weekly training breakdowns and biases, it can be useful to cross-reference how different shoes will perform in different settings and align with your training needs.

Takeaway Thoughts

For short runs, the Nike MC Trainer 2 has a pretty average performance. This model will work best for sprints, short interval runs, and short mileages ranging from 1-2 miles pre and post-workout.

For wide and flat feet, I think you’ll also want to pass on this shoe. Since they have a low-profile construction, I think sizing up could be problematic and lead to heel slip issues. The final aspect that I like with the Nike MC Trainer 2 is that it feels more flexible than the original MC Trainer. One of my complaints with the first model was how stiff the midfoot and heel could feel at times. are looking for something to regularly run in (the Nike Free Metcon 3 is a good cross-training shoe for running) I think this model will be a good fit for those that love firmer midsole shoes for versatile training and have narrower foot widths. Note, they don’t have a ton of cushion to them, so if you like more cushioned HIIT and class shoes, you may want to explore something like the Nike Air Zoom SuperRep 3. As someone with medium-width feet, I have been choosing Nike shoes as my go-to for a cross-trainer. This rings true here for the Nike MC Trainer.This shoe’s midsole provides a nice level of stability for heavier lifting sessions, and it also has a nice level of responsiveness for plyometrics and athletic-style workouts. If you like shoes with firmer midsoles, you’ll enjoy this about the MC Trainer 2.
