Plated shoe benefits depend heavily on running form. For lack of a better term, runners who “trudge” along might get no benefit. If you are a forefoot runner with significant time off the ground, you will see bigger benefits

Sure, a few seconds here and there are definitely worthwhile. I am running the United half marathon in March, and I qualified for an entry in another half marathon by 44 seconds. That’s your 1.5% difference right there. Actually, probably more like 0.7%.

I think the most important thing for a racing shoe is still that it is as light as possible, while providing adequate cushioning for the distance. Taking 2-3 ounces off a bike part will not make a measurable difference (in spite of what some cyclists think), but taking 2-3 ounces off your shoe defin…

I’ve heard a lot of people say weight makes a negligible difference, but I’m pretty strongly preferential to lighter shoes. I’m not sure if that’s skewed a bit by me being a 95lb lady, though- I think most shoes are tested on average-sized males, so maybe the weight makes a relatively bigger differ…

It definitely makes a difference. At the more extreme end, I hike way slower in winter boots than in summer trail runners. And even slower when I put on snowshoes or crampons. Hence the saying a pound on the feet is 5 in the pack.

Good choice. Your earlier message gave me the kick to try my elites on a tempo run. They feel fast but definitely don’t “disappear” off my feet like the Pro 3 do. Can’t decide which feels faster so not sure the extra cost and lower durability of the elites is worth it over the Pro 3

For us mortals? Probably not…

Well, there is always the Adidas Pro Evo 1. Designed to last one race, and retail is $500. None in stock, but a few heavily marked up pairs on eBay.

Funny. We were looking at this shoe today at work… Ridiculous name and ridiculous price… Only attainable by elites if sponsored by Adidas or dentist who have more money than common sense
