Race day
Nothing new on race day — so buy it now and run in it twice first.
Race shoes are lighter and bouncier and want a few runs before the start line. Pair them with the thinnest socks you trust and the kit you have worn before. The store will tell you plainly if a plated shoe is not for you yet.
