Curt Sheller's Race Walking World - Shoes
My personal racewalking pages. Having discovered the Olympic sport of walking around 1985, I've been hooked ever since (on and off).
Not much more than a good pair of shoes and comfortable clothing are needed to race walk.

Racewalking Shoes - I personally have had very good results with Mizunos in the past. Here is link to an article by Dave McGovern regarding the proper shoes for racewalking. Dave also has a section on his site with the Latest Racelking Shoe Deals.
Or you can do like Govindasamy Saravanan of Malaysia. It is photo of Govindasamy race walking barefoot. Yikes! (Update September 1998: Maybe there is something to this. Govindasamy won the gold medal at the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur. Malaysia first gold medal. I wonder if he walked bare foot.

Listing Info
( from listing's site ) - The 3-Stripes mark is without doubt the quintessential adidas symbol. It was created by the adidas company founder, Adi Dassler, and first used on footwear in 1949. Dassler created a symbol that could be immediately recognized when his footwear was used in athletic competition and associated with adidas. He emphasized the association with the slogan “The Brand with the 3 Stripes”. The 3-Stripes were first used on apparel in 1967. The 3-Stripes now enjoy worldwide recognition as an adidas symbol.

They include world-class runners and racewalkers, people with special health and bio-mechanical conditions, and just plain folks. Many have been with us from the beginning, so that now some of our best friends are people we've never met in person. If you'd like a personal reference, chances are we can put you in touch with someone who has similar interests or problems, or who lives in your neck of the woods.

Thanks for visiting and checking out my site!
Content is always being added and updated. So check-in often. Thanks, Curt
P.S. You may think from the look of it that Curt Sheller Publications is a slick, profitable business, but it's actually not (maybe a car payment a month, cheap car). I spend a lot and time money creating the content, lessons and books for this site (a labor of love), so if you dig my content and want to see more of it. I could use your help by spreading the word and maybe buying a book or two if you haven't already, to help defray the cost of running the site. Thanks in advance for your help. This is a labor of love and I'd do it even if I didn't make a lot of money, hey I don't!
You can also make a donation to the lesson-site fund. Button in the sidebar of the site.
If I'm not teaching, I'm working on this site and new lessons, books and goodies.
