Champion  5312   Calgary |  Subject: Do you have special lighter race shoes for racesI have always worn bulky shoes but recently started running a bit barefoot and just got myself a pair of NB Minimus trail which I love. They just feel so fast. They are so much lighter than my normal trainers. Anyways, I was thinking today how many people use lighter shoes or flats when racing or training. My norm has been to train and race in the same model of shoe but I race in a pair that has less mileage on them. |

Champion 7136  Knoxville area | Subject: RE: Do you have special lighter race shoes for races Run in a trainer most of the time (Wave Riders at the moment) Race in a race shoe (Zoot Speed's for shorter tri's and Adidas Adios for Standalone running races and longer tri's) |

Veteran 503 Bedford, NH | Subject: RE: Do you have special lighter race shoes for races I currently train in Succony Hurricanes or Asics Kayano's. Last year I raced in these as well. Just bought a set of Zoot Ultra Tempo 4's for racing this year and tried them during training runs a few times. First race is this weekend. Hoping this will help with my T2 time and plan to go sockless. |

| Veteran 200 Summerfield, NC | Subject: RE: Do you have special lighter race shoes for races Personally I like the psychological effect of having specific race shoes. In my mind, if I'm wearing my "race shoes" then it's time to hurt. |

Elite 4235 Spring, TX | Subject: RE: Do you have special lighter race shoes for races I train and race in racing flats, Saucony Grid Type A4. I have been trying out the Kinvaras, but even those are almost considered racing shoes by most. |

Expert 661 Maui, Hawaii | Subject: RE: Do you have special lighter race shoes for races Train in Mizuno Wave Riders; will be racing in Zoot Ultras in upcoming Oly. I take the racing shoes out for periodic runs before the race just to make sure there are no issues. |

Master 1970 Somewhere on the Tennessee River | Subject: RE: Do you have special lighter race shoes for races I do most of my training runs in Vibrams. The LSDs, anyway. Race in trainers, or flats according to what distance the race is. |

Champion 7595 Columbia, South Carolina | Subject: RE: Do you have special lighter race shoes for races I started off training and racing in standard trainers. I then bought a pair of flats for racing. I then started doing some of my training in them. Now I do all of my training (and racing) in flats or something close (Kinvaras recently, which are comfy and just about like flats). |

Pro 6520 Bellingham, WA | Subject: RE: Do you have special lighter race shoes for races Taylorman - 2011-05-18 6:54 PM Anyone have the Pearl Izumi Iso Transition or Nike Free Run 2. Im debating between these two shoes. I've had a pair of the Pearl Izumi's for about a month now and really like them. They are very light, very comfortable without socks, and have a great lacing system. For me, I'll train and race in them up to about 6 miles though. They do not have a great deal of cushioning. I am a bit more sensitive to this than most because of my age and injuries. |

| Member 99 South Riding, VA | Subject: RE: Do you have special lighter race shoes for races I do all my road training and races in Brooks Green Silence which are pretty close to a racing flat. Every time I hit the trail in my Cascadias the first few miles feel like I have bricks attached to my feet. |

| Extreme Veteran 464 Sault Ste (Siberia) Marie | Subject: RE: Do you have special lighter race shoes for races I train in a heavier, less expensive pair of Staters, so i can replace them cheaper when they wear out. I race in Wave Riders. There is something about putting them on, the race shoes, they are so light and airy compared to my others, I get this greast feeling of being so much faster. Helps put me in the right mind set for a good race. |

| Master 2404 Redlands, CA | Subject: RE: Do you have special lighter race shoes for races I train in Asics 2150's and race in Nike Free's. Both shoes are due for a swap out and since both are phased out models I'll be looking for new shoes. |
