Last post by Lods -My mate started park run a couple of years ago, he recently upgrade his shoes ($400 with carbon fibre plates in them). He cut 15 seconds off of his PB.
That Adidas Adios goes for around $300-350.
You'll probably have trouble getting a pair for the next few weeks as people jump on board.

Last post by Thryleon -I have two pairs of Asics Gel Nimbus in my rotation for just walking now. One of them has a much thicker and spongier sole than the other. This one, almost has what I would call a springing motion in it. It efficiently transfers energy through my legs making running effortless. The other is a much firmer sole. There is perhaps 2 iterations different between them (say the Asics Gel Nimubs 24 and the 22) but the shoe feel is remarkably different.
22: https://www.goat.com/en-au/sneakers/gel-nimbus-22-lite-show-white-sunrise-red-1011a890-100
24: https://www.amazon.com.au/ASICS-Mens-Gel-Nimbus-Running-Shoes/dp/B09CLM9LSV?th=1&psc=1
These are the exact same colours and shoe I own. The difference between them is remarkable, and they have re-engineered them again since to make the newer models different again. I havent bothered replacing them as Im not wearing through shoes like I did when I was regularly running for 5 kms plus.
Not surprising that it would be different at the elite level. Shoe tech is always progressing, but of the two pairs I own, the 24's feel like cheating.

Last post by Lods -Nuts, can't even fathom that.
Apparently it's the shoes....

Advanced shoe technology — which has also reduced the weight of running shoes — has helped runners continue to lower the world record in recent years. Sawe ran in a pair of Adidas Adios Pro 3

(It'll probably cost you less than the shoe.)
