automatically add shoe to new run

[johnm01]

Is it possible to add a shoe to a run or do I need to edit the event and manually add the shoe? I have added my shoes to my equipment but I don't see where to add a shoe as my default.

There is no default option yet, but it's a ticket. but we don't have a timeline for it

Thanks.

Hi Michael,

While searching for this option I've found this thread. The question is: do you plan the implement the default equipment assignment at import time?
Little inconvenient to edit my activities each time after import. Thanks.

Yes

Normally you should run alternately with different shoes to avoid injuries and increase the life span. But I also know it from myself - in the end I wear the same ones too often.

Hi mipapo, if you do implement this, may I suggest allowing the option, to not setting a default shoe, I know for sure I would get a lot of false positives for my default shoe (at least that is what happened on my strava default shoe )

You will never "have" to set a Default equipment. I would not use this feature myself

Even if you change your shoes frequently (i do for road and trail) you only have to edit the activity those times you didn't use the default shoes. And since you may not use it if it's available, but you cannot use it if it's unavailable, I guess it's a no brainer to develop the feature. I know it is scheduled for sometime in the future, but just for leaving my opinion on the matter.

I agree, it's a good idea to use shoes alternately.
