I think they serve different purposes - agreed that the Metcon 6 are the better all-around training shoes, especially when it comes to the flexibility, but the Metcon 9s are the better ones for true heel/foot stability, especially in squats, deadlifts, etc. Would never run in them - they feel like walking in 2x4s, but for stair climber, etc. they're fine.

Everything about this post is incorrect. Metcon is short for metabolic conditioning. That is, CrossFit and cross-training. That's where they came up with the name for the shoe. They are designed to be functional for both lifting and running or other plyometric movements.
That said, the previous posters are correct. The 9 isn't great for running and plyometrics, but the 6 is a great all around cross training shoe.
