These are much improved from the last pair we bought. I love the color and style and my son says they fit very comfortably.

These were my first pair of throwing shoes and they lasted for a while!! They are a great shoe for beginners since they aren’t too slick yet still enough where you can get a good rotation. I am a rotational shot putter and discus thrower in high school so I have definitely been doing lots of rotation. I recently got new shoes since my SDs wore out a bit and switched to a different brand, but I can confidently say that the SDs helped me feel more connected with the ground and I could really feel the ground as I was rotating.

The SD’s are great shoes for beginner and intermediate throwers. Not a fast shoe but has good control. Good durability. Might be a bit tight and stiff for the first few throw sessions. Comfort level is average for a throw shoe.
