I am a racewalker. Which adidas (or other) shoes would you recommend that are extremely lightweight?

ANSWER
Within the adidas range the best shoe for
race-walking would be the adiZERO Adios racing flat model, which is super-lightweight and flexible and thus perfect for racewalking. Interestingly, this is the same shoe that Haile Gebrselassie wore when he broke the marathon world record, running 2:03:58 in Berlin, so if it’s good enough for Haile, I’m sure you’ll love them too!



Most reputable shoe or sports stores stock adidas products, so should be able to contact adidas in Cape Town to order you a pair of Adios.
