Suggestions for easy entry tri-shoes during transisition
Quote | Reply
I'm looking for suggestions for triathlon shoes which are easy to put on and off during the transition stage.
Opps
Sorry guys, I forgot to mention I was looking or a suggestion for cycling shoes, not running shoes.

Any shoe on the market. With elastic laces. Some shoes such as Zoot are specially made with a rear-tab and really big, stretchy foot hole for easy entry. But really, any shoe is good for T2 if they have the elastic laces.

Editing to add: Why do you want to take them off in transition?

Xtenex laces with a racing flat work great. Just make sure the shoe has a solid tongue

While my old SH-31's were easy to use, I like the fit and everything about my SW Trivents a lot better. The drop-away heel works really well makes for a quick transition, and the boa adjustment lets me make adjustments on a long ride really easy. Only downside is they are too expensive!

S-Works Tri. I don't think there is a faster entry shoe on the market right now.

I haven't upgraded from my basic Shimano tri shoes yet because the half-second that the S-Works might save me is meaningless in my overall time, but that doesn't mean I don't lust after those red shoes every once in a while!

Gotcha. The Sidi T2/T3 are fantastic shoes, as are the Shimano SH-TR series.

Any Specialized BOA shoe. Heck I can slide into my Road Comp shoes easier than any tri shoe I have tried in 25 years, plus the extra snug fit of BOA's just rocks. I will never own tri shoes again.

Northwave Tribute, really good for this. The big velcro strap has an extra velcro bit on the outside that allows it to be stickied in the wide open position, great for making sure it stays that way when you jump on in T1. And they are pretty reasonable for price.

The pearl izumi tri fly are great for clip'ed in transitions I don't even need to use a hand to put them on. except just to close the strap.

I like the shimano 31 or 51 depending on your price range. Sidi is also good for a fast entry but I would try them on because some are better than others for a high instep. From my experience the shimano seems to work better for a high instep.
