Master 2447  White Oak, Texas | Subject: RE: What's a Triathlon Shoe? It is a road bike shoe that has a single strap vs 3 on a normal road shoe. The single strap allows faster on and off but is not as secure. |

Extreme Veteran 482 | Subject: RE: What's a Triathlon Shoe? Sometimes they are designed with drain holes in the bottom in addition to the normal vent holes. This is so pool/lake/ocean water can drain out after your first transition (T1). They are also handy if you find it necessary to pee on the bike and don't like your feet to stay wet. Michael |
