Hoe bevallen je schoenen?
Het zijn trouwens meer discus dan kogel schoenen, mits je met kogel draait natuurlijk. Maar dat doe jij niet geloof ik.
Maar zijn ze wel stabiel genoeg en daar bedoel ik mee dat er zoals het eruit ziet een bolle onderkant op je bal van je voet zit. Ik moet namelijk ook weer een paar nieuwe, want het rubber onder de zool raakt op. Moet dus ff orienteren wat voor schoenen ik ga kopen.
Ps. Wat kosten ze?
Allereerst dit Panzer:
Reebok:
making throwing shoes since at least 1996. Current design goes back to at least 2002, Although the upper style and cut has changed somewhat. Since at least 2002, Reebok always has two models with the same design except that the sole comes in two different styles: smooth or textured.
Reebok Spin and Reebok Glide
current: "JW Foster" silver w/ yellow stripes
??: "JW Foster" white w/ orange stripes
former: "Global" white & blue
former: "Pro" white & blue w/ yellow stripes
former: "Pro" black w/ red stripes
former: "Pro" red w/ yellow stripes
Model first introduced in 1996 ("World Throw" white w/ blue stripes)
The smooth spin is not as fast as the Nike Zoom Rotational, and edges are not as rounded. Consequently it is more of an all-around shoe that can be used for glide shot and spin shot, discus, hammer and weight. The spin is always faster for hammer & weight, but the textured sole might be better for discus and spin shot during wet conditions on a smooth circle. The textured sole would always be preferred for glide shot. I would advise HS-youth throwers to buy the smooth shoe because youare more likely to encounter rough circles, but the textured sole would not be bad either.
Nike:
Nike has been making throwing shoes for a long time--they have been making the "Glide" model since at least since the early 1980s. These shoes had really sharp sole edges and were nice for shot-disc, but not good for hammer/weight. They introduced a "Spin" model to complement the Glide in the late 1980s. The early Spin models had a more rounded heel and sole sides, but the rubber in the sole was still soft.
The Zoom Rotational was introduced in the early 1990s--the first shoes with the hard, fast carbon rubber sole.
Nike Zoom SD
black w/ white swoosh
red & white w/ black swoosh
Good all-around shoe, ideal for spin shot and discus, can also be used for glide shot and hammer/weight. Textured sole--not the fastest shoe. The shape of the sole is flatter than the Zoom Rotational model.
Nike Zoom Rotational
current: light silver & black w/ red swoosh
former: black & red w/ light silver swoosh
Model first introduced in early 90s with white & purple w/ salmon swoosh
Fastest hammer/weight shoe. Most rounded heel and sides of outsole. Also can throw spin shot and discus. Heel too rounded for glide shot. Not recommended as your first pair of throwing shoes. Pricey. Older models to be found on E-Bay. Can be slippery in wet conditions on a fast circle--problematic driving out of the back in discus and spin shot.
Adidas:
Adidas has been making throwing shoes for a long time--since at least the early 1980s. They are pricey, but older models can be found at a discount. Like Nike, they carry two distinct shoe styles--different shaped soles.
Adistar Shot Put
current: light silver & black w/ orange-yellow inner liner
former: blue w/ silver stripes
former: black & white w/ blue stripes & red pinstripes (1st yr current design)
This is a glide shot-put oriented shoe with a grippier sole, wider heel for lateral balance with the push-back foot, and lower toe to prevent rim fouls at the pushback foot. This shoe also has rubber around the sides of the toe and ball--useful for cushioning when striking the toeboard. The glide shot is the event in which a throwing shoe provides the least improvement over worn-tread tennis shoes, so I would not spend retail price on the current model, but you might pick up a discounted older model. You could also throw discus in these--perhaps as your backup footwear for slick circles in downpour conditions.
Adistar Shot Put (older design)
white w/ green stripes
Older design, heel less stable than current model, less side toe rubber than current model. Good for glide shot, also good for rotational shot and discus. OK for hammer/weight. Actually better for hammer/weight than current shot model because the older version of the Adistar Shot Put was less differentiated from the Adistar Discus/Hammer.
Adistar Discus/Hammer
current: blue w/ silver stripes
former: black & white w/ blue stripes & red pinstripes
This is a good shoe for discus, hammer, and rotational shot put. The heel and toe are a bit rounded for glide shot--this will give you less lateral balance with your pushoff foot a the start of the glide, and the distraction of worrying about touching the top of the ring with your toe. The sole textured for grip, but not the fastest shoe for hammer. Recommended for discus.
Adistar Discus/Hammer (older design)
white w/ green stripes
Red w/ black stripes
Older model, does not have the sole extensions around the back of the heel or the side of the foot as in the current design.
Mizuno
Mizuno makes throwing shoes, but haven't triied them. Maybe ask Koji.
New Balance ROT 1000F
New Balance GLD 750F
Navy & Red
New Balance just recently introduced throwing shoes. At the time, Nike Rotationals and Nike SD Glides were $100 and $75, respectively, which gave the names for the New Balance models. However, these two models are identical in shape except for the sole texture--the ROT is smooth and the GLD is textured. The smooth ones would be faster for hammer and weight, although the sole edges are not as rounded as Nike Rotationals. Textured sole would be good for glide shot. New Balance has a history of supplying alternative-width (narrow and wide) foot sizes in running shoes, and extra large sizes. ROT is good all-around shoe for glide or spin shot, discus, and beginner hammer/weight.
VS Athletics has their own house brand of throwing shoe "TH" at a good price. This is made by the same plant that makes the Reebok shoes--same sole.as the Reebok Spin (smooth).
Asics Cyber Throw
blue w/ silver stripes
Asics has just recently added a throwing shoe--haven't tried them. Has unique concentric circle pivoting tread on the ball of the foot--might be nice for discus and spin shot.
Asics Hyper Throw
lt gray & white w/ blue stripes
This is either an earlier or a cheaper model the Cyber Throw. Also has the concentric circle pivot tread on the ball of the foot. Looks like a beginner/all-around shoe.

Mijn eigen ervaring:
Tot nu toe draaien ze briljant (en dat wil ook met kogel gaan doen). Ze zijn extreem glad voor mijn gevoel en ze passen als gegoten, door het ritsje

. Voor de glij zijn ze idd wat minder geschikt omdat nog voor je begint je houding wat onstabieler wordt bij de achterste knie, door de enigzins bolle onderkant. Uiteraard zijn ze nog gloednieuw dus het is een beetje afwachten hoe ze zich zetten en houden.
Ik had mazzel met de prijs: 70e
Mijn advies: Als je gaat glijen neem de nieuwe van adidas. Dan sta je als een huis. Ga je draaien? Kijk dan ook naar adidas, bijna niet meer te krijgen, nike en asics. Hoewel de laatste mij niet beviel ik kon te makkelijk door de schoen schuiven, maar dat is persoonlijk.
