Shoes designed to participate in such a demanding discipline as triathlon are characterized, first of all, by being able to offer optimum potential and performance, lacking in other Running shoes. They stand out for their great ability to breathe and ventilate the sweat accumulated on your feet and usually include an ultra-fast lacing system with elastic laces so as not to lose a second too much during the transition between cycling and running.
These highly specific, colorful and patterned shoes use seamless materials to prevent chafing and provide the highest degree of comfort possible. They also usually have a soft, non-slip lining so that they can be worn without socks. They also incorporate reflective materials to ensure your safety in adverse light conditions.
