As a thrower at the Master level, I was looking for a rotational thrower shoe that would not only fit with comfort, but would also allow for effortless rotation for the shot, discus and hammer.
Since I need a wide shoe (4E) I had to get a larger size than I normally wear (1/2 to a full size larger) in order for the width to work out. It still felt a little tight, but I could have made that work with thinner socks if only the sole had worked for me. It didn't. The sole was way too grippy for my liking. They resulted in a jerky rotation, instead of a smooth one. I quickly returned them and was pleased with the service. They would be good for someone gliding in the shot I think.
I then tried the Nike Zoom Rotational 5 with a smooth Pebax sole. They are perfect for me -very smooth rotation. I needed a shoe 2 sizes larger than I normally wear though to fit my width. I love these Nikes!

So far shoes are amazing. Haven't worn them much yet but the fit is great and they are so light weight
