16. Shoe Declaration
World Athletics has amended Rule 5 in relation to shoes worn in competition. From 30
April 2020, any shoe must have been available for purchase by any athlete on the open
retail market (online or in-store) for a period of four months before it can be used in
competition.
If a shoe is not openly available to all then it will be deemed a prototype and use of it in
competition will not be permitted. Subject to compliance with the rules, any shoe that is
available to all, but is customised for aesthetic reasons, or for medical reasons to suit the
characteristics of a particular athlete’s foot, will be allowed.
As a result of the rule change, Athletics North Queensland requires all athletes competing
in the Open and U20 age divisions (including Para) to submit a Shoe Declaration prior to
the competition. Any amendments to your Shoe Declaration can be made by submitting it
online or in person at the TIC Area no later than 90 minutes prior to the start time of your
event.
Please CLICK HERE for the current list of shoes deemed approved by World Athletics
(listed under Manuals & Guidelines)
Please note that World Athletics continually amend the Approved Shoe List as they
complete their testing of shoes, therefore athletes should ensure they check this list on a
regular basis.
