Triathlon Running Equipment
Shoes
Your shoes are the most important piece of running equipment. As with bike fit, the right shoe depends on your body, running form, and comfort. Try different brands and styles before committing to a pair.Running shoes vary by cushioning, support, heel-to-toe drop, weight, and intended use. Your arches and pronation pattern may influence what feels best, but comfort during real running is the most important signal.
If you are unsure where to start, visit a specialty running store. A good shop can watch you run, talk through your training goals, and help you compare options.
