I’ve been checking out the new T2 triathlon shoes from Scott recently, who has been upping their game on a regular basis lately. The shoe appears to have a revolutionary new heel cup that clips and unclips to speed transitions — for the triathlete focused on shaving wasted seconds from their time. On top of that, Scott says that the shoe has a sole profile designed specifically for triathlete runners, and favored by heroes like the famed pro athlete Normann Stadler.
I’ll reserve judgment until I can get myself into a pair and bring you a proper review. But here’s what Scott says about the T2 line (which includes the Scott T2 Pro and the Scott T2C):
“Designed specifically to be the fastest triathlon running shoe. Ergologic Ride ™ midsole allows faster running by reducing energy loss and by increasing the transition speed from midstance to toe-off. Quick Entry System™ allows for the fastest transitions with perfect fit and prerace adjustment.

Pretty cool shoes! I just looked at Scott’s full running shoe line and they look solid. These look great for triathletes looking to gain that little competitive edge on the competition.
I wonder how the Ergologic Ride technology compares to forefoot running shoemakers, like Newton?

I have a friend who has been using some Newtons and is familiar with these shoes — he says he’ll never leave his Newtons, but I believe this sole profile was designed towards mid/forefoot-strikers too.

I really like the look of these running shoes – but I think i’ll also reserve judgement until I get to hear more – or maybe even try a pair of them on in the future. Interesting post, thanks.
