Depending on the stage that you are at in the shot put, you will want to consider the best type of shot put shoes that will help you generate more power to throw further in the shot put.
You need to assess whether or not you will benefit from wearing shot put shoes first. This will depend on the technique that you use (Standing, glide, or spin); as well as how you are generating the explosive power (are you using the explosive power through your hips!)
If you are just doing throwing a shot put from the standing position, you won’t need any shot put shoes. Although, if it helps with your confidence, you can opt to purchase them.
If you are doing the gliding technique, you can opt for shot put shoes. However, the shot put shoes will serve you well if you have a quick reaction time off the ground and you need shoes with a smooth surface.
If you are doing the spinning technique, specific shot put shoes will be ideal to wear for your training and during your competitions to get the edge to throw further in the shot put.
