There are various types of rockered soles, but the most prevalent is the forefoot rocker, also known as toe spring. This feature refers to the upward curve of the sole under the forefoot or toes, typically ranging from 10 to 25 degrees. With recent advancements in shoe technology, the use of rockered soles has become more widespread.
The world's best 1500m runner and the 2019 1500m world champ, Timothy Cheruiyot, has been added to the Kenyan Olympic team to race the 1500m, in a last second switch.

Athing Mu, one of America's most promising runners, saw her Olympic dreams slip away after a fall during the 800-meter race. The 22-year-old New Jersey native tumbled to the ground, her bright pink shoes pointed towards the sky, signaling a premature end to her quest for consecutive Olympic titles.
There they all were – 10,000 metres champion and defending 5000 metres champion Gudaf Tsegay, the woman who runs every event, and medals in most, Sifan Hassan, Kenyan teammates Beatrice Chebet, this year’s world cross-country champion, and Margaret Kipkemboi – lined up to thwart Faith Kipyegon’s hopes of completing an unprecedented 1500 and 5000 metres double.
