It's just because adults already know the answer just by seeing your shoes. We have experience children don't. 😌

Come now, there are legitimately shoe designs that can give you 15+% speed increase.

It's not all intuitive, there's some pretty wild physics going on in some shoes

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Do you have a source on that?

Last I heard β€œsuper spikes” can increase performance in track runners by like 2% and that’s basically it. Most of the rest of running shoe designs are based on weight and comfort but competitive shoe brands aren’t really one upping each other on a 15% margin

The best shoes don't really increase your speed, but does reduce impact energy loss so you're less strained and can run for longer. Sometimes it may allow you to run faster, mostly by reducing friction/waste (depends on how you run and more)

They all have brands and distinct styles, though. And I'm not implying that there is or is not any performance difference in shoes; only that a lot of adults know which ones do and do not. Lotta people really into shoes. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 points 2 months ago

I guess that's fair, I'm not into shoes but I could spot running shoes at a glance

Wisdom is knowing that red shoes makes you faster.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Red makes everyth'n fasta. 'dat's why our vehicles are painted red.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Da humies is too stupid to get this

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 3 points 2 months ago

Yer got ta be wear'n blue when deal'n wit' da 'umiez. Blue means ya get lucky an’ fight β€˜da 'umiez.

But they're not all red, so we can't be sure. Still need to ask.

Because we care and don't want to see you break your hip. It's okay you've slowed down a little, at your age!

[–] ebolapie@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I asked one of my coworkers if their ankle weights made them run faster and everyone looked at me like I was stupid.

[–] BlueMagma@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

This is a very valid question to ask. The answer is "sorta", but only when you remove the weights.

I remember someone at work once losing their shit cause nobody noticed their new haircut.
