Guys, need your advise.
1. While brisk walking , need to wear those thin soak or preferably thicker one?
2. Need to buy a sole, can recommend? I hv one but when I put the sole in, I feel like my feet very high when put in the shoe.
Actually for racewalking, it's supposed to be thinner ones, 30mm or even below 25mm is good as what they recommend. Forgot the details of the reason tho.
No real need for super rocker feel, just a bit is fine. Brisk walking at lower speeds shd be very very similar.
eg I find my current range, NB Rebel V3 i feel is the most efficient, nimblest and fastest.....rather than the max stack shoes. It is also a very light shoe.
But no harm using other stuff, like Deviate Nitro 2, no real diff even if walking at faster speeds. Coz we are all not pros anyway and competing in time trials etc.
But it can be soft, bottoming out not as big as issue vs running coz the impact forces are significantly lower. 30mm very soft Fuelcell (supercritical TPU) is fine.
So in a way, if you want a recommendation, Rebel V3 i feel is quite versatile. Cheap and can be used for both disciplines. (since you are currenty not running, but it can be extended to do running in future)
I think forget about putting a sole in, coz yes it can feel quite a fair bit taller, and also squeezes the upper of the shoe against the top part of yr feet. ie feels squeezy, esp if the shoe's upper is not roomy type.
Loosening the laces helps a bit only.
