A Guide To Throwing Shoes

Saucony Unleashed SD

The Saucony shoes are an extremely different shoe developed specifically for Discus and Shot Put rotation. If you are looking for an extremely fast shoe then you have met your match. The Saucony is arguably the fastest shoe on the market and has some extremely interesting traits. Firstly, the front of the shoe is extremely angled. This shoe specifically forces you to be on your toes throughout the rotational movement and this takes some getting used to. However once this feeling becomes comfortable to the the thrower he/she will greatly benefit. By forcing you on your toes as well as the extremely fast sole this shoe will force you into good positions if you can control it. Due to this unusual design of the sole these shoes are not suited to hammer throwing. Another major downside to this great shoe is its durability. A Throwers Unite admin owned these shoes and after using them 2 times a week for 4 months they had worn through and a hole had formed. This is minimal use in the scheme of throwing shoes so that is definitely something to be wary of!
