Run Pod or Smart Shoe

Hey guys, been using zwift cycling for about a month and love it.
I was considering trying zwift to run.

It just happened that i need news shoes.
I was wondering if it was worth to look into smart shoe and how they compare to Run pod.

I read great thing about the Stryd, but its like 10x the price of the zwift run pod. Is it really worth it, considering im a beginner runner ?

thank you !

Iā€™ve posted about this before, but I just made a screen cap from Garmin Connectā€™s pace graph to illustrate this. The big difference is that Stryd is more even, but thereā€™s really very little difference and the average comes out to be the same. Of course you get the benefits of training by power and no need to change batteries. :man_shrugging:
