Top 3 Racing Shoes 2019 Ranking: 279 Pro athletes and 19 brands at the IM 70.3 and Ironman podium

Top 3 Racing Shoes 2019 Ranking: For the first time I decided to make the Top 3 racing professional triathletes in all Ironman 70.3 and Ironman races in 2019.

The Vaporflys (considering the 3 editions) passed like a steamroller  over the other racing shoes and this is the obvious of the obvious but there are several other models that were present in the 101 events of the Ironman circuit. 

Throughout this year, I just considered the pro athletes, even in events where there were only female (Ironman Estonia, Ironman Copenhagen and Ironman Arizona) or male (Ironman Switzerland, Ironman Lake Placid, Ironman Sweden and Ironman Florida). 

I posted in my Instagram the 101 Ironman races, 69 Ironman 70.3 and 32 full Ironman, with a total of 279 athletes, 144 men and 135 women, some of them visiting the podium more than once.

I hope this article with statistical data has some relevance for everyone who reads and also for sports brands linked directly to triathlon or not, sponsoring and supporting athletes or competitions.

These will be the data presented:

– Shoe Count ranking by brands in all events;

– Shoe Count ranking by brands and separated by races (IM 70.3 and Ironman) and gender;

– Top 3 shoe models present on the podium of all events, separated by place;

– Top 3 podium shoe models, separated by races (IM 70.3 and Ironman) and gender.

Regarding the brands, a total of 19 were present on the podium:
