I wear barefoot shoes pretty much 24/7 (Vivobarefoot mostly) but when it came to running I wasn't comfortable running in barefoot shoes so I wanted something that had some similarities, such as low drop and wide toe box, but with a little more cushion.
I ended up finding the brand Altra, who seem create exactly the type of shoe I was looking for.
Since then I first picked up the Altra Escalante Racer, which is what I used for training and on race day for my first HYROX in May 2024.
Following that, as its always nice to have more trainers (right?!), I picked up a pair of Altra Escalante 3's. I've been using these for all of my running training for the past few months and they're a great shoe (the 3's have more support than the Racer's). Not sure what I'll do on race day (next HYROX in Nov/Dec 2024), but I'll probably switch back to the Racer!
What about you, what are you wearing? (training and race day - if different) 🤔
