@barbbroad7130 yes footwear for running or racewalking is very individual. For racewalkers there seem to be some common shoe requirements but now the super shoes have called that into question perhaps..?
It seems to work for you and many elites. I find the heel way too soft but I can see how a super lightweight carbon shoe could work for racewalking- looking for one that's low drop and not too soft at the heel.
Thanks Noel for the comprehensive review! You covered many excellent points. My concern is the carbon fibre midsole being so stiff, it will be putting additional strain on the anterior tibialis. It’s something that a walker will build up over time.
I could not wear a shoe like this for race walking ( or even running.) I love the ALTRA Escalante 4 for Race Walking!

Thanks for the review.
I’m using Metaspeed Edge and it works well for me. Going to use it again this Saturday for the 10k race.

I have similar concerns and believe it may work somewhat for racewalkers but is not made for racewalking and may not be the best shoe.
