It’s just because adults already know the answer just by seeing your shoes. We have experience children don’t. 😌

Come now, there are legitimately shoe designs that can give you 15+% speed increase.
It’s not all intuitive, there’s some pretty wild physics going on in some shoes

Do you have a source on that?
Last I heard “super spikes” can increase performance in track runners by like 2% and that’s basically it. Most of the rest of running shoe designs are based on weight and comfort but competitive shoe brands aren’t really one upping each other on a 15% margin

They all have brands and distinct styles, though. And I’m not implying that there is or is not any performance difference in shoes; only that a lot of adults know which ones do and do not. Lotta people really into shoes. 🤷♂️

Because we care and don’t want to see you break your hip. It’s okay you’ve slowed down a little, at your age!

I asked one of my coworkers if their ankle weights make them run faster and everyone looked at me like I was stupid

This is a very valid question to ask. The answer is “sorta”, but only when you remove the weights.

But they’re not all red, so we can’t be sure. Still need to ask.
