3. RACE READY RANGE

The race range offers a variety of shoes built for the more elite runner looking for a fast race day shoe across a range of distances.

Please note: Race shoes are not ideal for all runners and the time savings that can be had from wearing them can be offset by the lack of cushioning or support they may offer. For example, someone running a 4-hour+ marathon will likely be more comfortable wearing their everyday mileage shoes. Also, race shoes, if used for everyday training, can be less durable and wear out faster.
