HYROX is only 8 weeks away - is your footwear suitable for the race? 🤔
With HYROX combining 8 x 1 km runs with 8 functional workout stations, your shoes need to handle both running and strength-based movements.
When choosing your HYROX shoes, look for:
👟 Good grip - especially for sled pushes, sled pulls, and lunges.
👟 Stability - you want a secure platform for the functional stations.
👟 Enough cushioning - to handle the repeated running without feeling too soft or unstable.
👟 A secure fit - your heel should feel locked in, with enough room for your toes to move.
And most importantly: don’t wait until race week to try something new. Your shoes should be tested and broken in whilst you're training.
If you’re unsure whether your current shoes are right for HYROX or you’re dealing with any issues as your training load increases, book a podiatry assessment now!
