Fizik rebuilt its flagship road shoe from the ground up for the Vento Vega Carbon, reshaping the entire last rather than just updating materials. For triathletes who train and race long bike legs on a road setup, the changes are focused squarely on comfort over multi-hour rides without giving up race-day stiffness. Weight and Construction…
Fizik’s Transiro line sits below the premium Powerstrap R4 in the brand’s triathlon shoe range, and the Hydra is the current mid-tier option — built specifically around transition speed rather than all-out stiffness. If T2 fumbling has cost you time before, this is the kind of shoe that’s designed to fix it. Key Features Closure:…
Giro’s Empire SLX has always stood out for one reason: laces instead of a BOA dial or ratchet. The Empire SLX II keeps that lace-up identity but rebuilds almost everything else — a new upper, a stiffer outsole plate, and a more adjustable fit system. Key Specs Weight: 195g claimed (size 43) — up slightly…
The ASICS Novablast 6 launched globally on 1 July 2026, and after a wait since the Novablast 5, this is the update the line needed.

You’ll log the majority of your weekly kilometres in them — long runs, easy recovery jogs, off-the-bike bricks — so they need to balance cushioning, durability and enough energy return to keep your legs fresh. HOKA’s June 2026 Clifton Pro is the most…
What to Look For in a Triathlon Run Shoe The run leg of a triathlon is unique: you’re placing a fatigued body into running shoes pulled on at speed after swimming and cycling. The ideal triathlon run shoe balances cushioning to protect tired legs, a quick entry system to speed up T2, and enough responsiveness…
What to Look For ASICS has long been a favourite among triathletes for a simple reason: the brand makes running shoes for runners, not just for the general fitness market. From the racing-optimised Metaspeed Sky Paris to the triathlon-specific Noosa Tri series (with its elastic lace-friendly design), ASICS offers a complete range that covers every…
What to Look For A dedicated racing flat can make a measurable difference to your run split in triathlon — even 15–20 seconds per kilometre of extra speed adds up to a significant finish time improvement over a 10km Olympic run leg or a 21.1km half.
