PUMA may be best known for Usain Bolt’s spikes, but it has made throwing shoes for years. In our shot put shoes guide we rated the underside of the evoSPEED Throw as one of the best on the market for shot put: a large contact area gives a planted feel in the circle.
It’s also incredibly well built. That matters, because a throwing shoe takes plenty of punishment from regularly kicking the stop board. The smooth sole spins easily, making it especially good for rotational throwers.
Who it’s for: rotational shot, discus and hammer throwers who want a durable, stable shoe.
