As we have mentioned easier, all-terrain sneakers are perfect for competitions that involve various types of terrain. If that is the type of competition you like to sign up for- then that is the sneaker that you should keep an eye out for. However, for other types of competitions that take place on hard and flat surfaces, all-terrain might set you back a little bit. Due to the deep tread of all-terrain, when you go to push off of a smooth surface, you won’t be able to get the same level of explosiveness that you would when using a design with a smoother sole.
