For normal racing circuits, you need not switch between shoe pairs and therefore average shoes are not designed to facilitate you in rapid substitution. The time lost when figuring out the knots and straps will also affect your overall score. The modern Triathlon shoes are designed to support you according to the racing module. They only have one or two straps at the most so you save a lot of precious seconds.
