Some studies show that world class men got about 90sec faster in the marathon with super shoes. Women have had more gains. It seems to be speed based and the benefit is greater as the times get slower. There is no way to do direct comparisons because individual response varies. But overall, the shoes have had an impact. Paula was the WR holder and the best of her day. That is all we can say.
With so many likes, I wonder therefore why any new posts on "super" shoes needs to happen. They are merely of this era. Same with doping slurs. The testing of the day prevailed and all were adjudged by the same standards. It's all gotten boringly predictable.
