![]() | ![]() It took a little more time to recover from the race over the weekend. I was trying to decide if I had a minor injury or if I was just sore so I kept the running easy and it passed. That being said, I think I am going to wait until either Saturday or next week for the return to quality workouts. I'm going to take the opportunity to run with the local running store in my hood. They happen to be doing an event with Zoot to debut the solanas. I am intrigued because they got an award for best debut. Not best debut for a tri shoe, but best debut period. I'm skeptical |

Eh, to truly acclimate to that kind of altitude it would take way, way more time than I would have to spend. I believe time would be best spent running uphill. |

Up and down your mountains a lot and a couple trips to Flagstaff. |

Put them into my shoe rotation last fall right before I developed achilles bursitis and have been afraid to wear them again. I really don't think they were the culprit b/c they have the same drop as one of the other shoes in my then rotation, but I'm being really careful with injuries these days As I recall, I liked them, but liked my other zoots better. |

![]() | ![]() Do you guys tend to buy Zoots because you are triathletes and you are marketed to? Or is there a specific reason? Are they more accommodating to triathlon running? |

Or is there a specific reason? Are they more accommodating to triathlon running? I tried a pair a couple years back because they were supposed to be conducive for triathlon. I liked them but not enough to stick with them. Of course, I don't do sockless and that is their big feature. |

Are they more accommodating to triathlon running? I tried a the zoot TTs in multiple different sizes and didn't like any of them. I tried them because they cater to tri (I wanted a shoe that drains well and that is good for sockless), and the suit I bought and liked was zoot. The TTs have way too small of a toe box and no matter how big a shoe I got they felt too small. They also felt very stiff, and the integrated bungee shoelaces didn't seem to work that well. I love my Asics gel-nimbus, so I decided to try their tri shoe, the gel-noosa. They're awesome and I'm very happy with them. The only thing I can complain about is that the bungee laces that come with the shoe are too short, so I ordered some lock laces to put on them. |

Or is there a specific reason? Are they more accommodating to triathlon running? The Zoot TT Ultra 4.0 was one of my favorite shoes period before I got hooked on Nike Free 4.0. The sockless support in the Zoot tri shoes are nice, but the Frees have a nice inner that doesn't tear my feet up. Once you get past T2, there really is no difference between a "tri shoe" and a running one. Running is running at that point. |

Pro ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Originally posted by Asalzwed Do you guys tend to buy Zoots because you are triathletes and you are marketed to? Or is there a specific reason? Are they more accommodating to triathlon running? Yes, yes, and yes. I like a tri designed shoe especially for warmer weather races. For my first warm weather HIM (Hawaii 70.3) I wore my ASCIS DS trainers and with all the fluids running into my shoes they got very, very sloshy. So drainage is important. Most tri shoes have some type of drainage holes in the soles. The seamless interiors are more comfortable for running sockless (as a general rule). I normally wear socks when I road run race but for tri's I prefer to go sockless. Saves a few seconds in transition and is one less thing to think about. Lastly, I like elastic laces and a some type of heel strap to make them easier to slip on. Not a huge deal as you can put speed laces in any shoe but t he heel strap is nice. I had great luck with Pearl Izumi iso transitions but wore them out. Just bought a pair of Zoots but have only used them once. I think I prefer the PI's but I'll stick with the Zoots for now.

Not sure if I replied at any point in my Manatee history to this...my birthday is July 22. Mine's April 13. Somebody better get busy on baking some cakes. I certainly won't - I stay out of the kitchen as much as possible!! (DH rocks on that front. He grocery shops, makes the meals, and cleans up afterwards. I'm so spoiled!) |

Once you get past T2, there really is no difference between a "tri shoe" and a running one. Running is running at that point. Yeah. The things I was thinking about was the ability to go sockless and maybe a pull on the back of the heel. Laces are tertiary I suppose as it's easily added to any shoe. My first racing flat was a T7, the Wellington version with the pull on the heel (and the Union Jack heh ) I have these now
As far as the ability to go sockless. I have yet to find a shoe that I can't run sockless in. However, drain holes are something I haven't noticed too much. I was more just curious. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Originally posted by Artemis I am really far behind. Work has been keeping me busy. I'm trying to adjust to a new schedule of getting up early, getting to work earlier, and then leaving before 5 so I can do daycare pickup and be home by 6. Lately, I've been exhausted by the time I make it home, so it's been tough to also try to fit training in on top of that. Also, with E (my 3 year old) starting a new daycare, we've all been sick. I think we had flu round 2. E and I are better. My husband is home today because he can barely sit up. Really hoping this crud gets out of the house soon!! I hope that the new job is everything that you were hoping for and that E is adjusting to her new daycare and continues to enjoy being a California girl :-) |
