Best throwing shoes for discus.

There are a few components in the discus event that will allow you to throw the discus further. The first is the physical component, which requires strength and explosiveness in your upper body.

The second is how you generate more power in your throw. And the easiest way to do this is to use the spinning technique. But to generate more speed, you need to have the right shoes to support this.

This is why intermediate to advanced discus throwers need to invest and train in throwing shoes specifically created for the discus event.

The throwing shoes are designed so that the athlete will be able to accelerate quickly in the circle when doing the spin, but will still be able to hold their balance so that they remain within the throwing circle.

Below are some of the best throwing shoes for the discus event.

VS ATHLETICS Power Throw

These are a versatile throwing shoe for discus throwers. They accommodate athletes that have a flatter arch and that also have a wider foot. The price point for these shoes are also cheaper compared to other shoe models.

The base of the shoe is stickier, so this would be a good addition for athletes that need a shoe that will allow them to have more control in the spin, should the circle be too fast or weather conditions affect the spinning speed in the discus.

Prices for these shoes start from $60.

These shoes are great for athletes that don’t have high arches. The section on the ball of the foot is smooth to maximise the spin in the discus circle. There’s also padding on the heel which is useful for athletes when they come out of the spin.

Prices start from $108.95

Nike Zoom Rival Sd 2 Mens

Nike are one of the leaders in athletic shoe design. And the same high-level athletic design can be expected in their discus throwing shoes. The only thing that you need to be cautious about is the high arch in the shoe. So if you are an athlete with flatter soles, these shoes won’t offer you the comfort that you are after.

That being said, they are a great shoe for spinning.

Prices start from $80.46
