“ Light nylon shoes designed to feel weightless. Better than running around barefoot but ... not much. In-game description ”

Running shoes are a type of footwear in The Long Dark. They are a common starting item.

Although they are relatively lightweight and the only shoes with no mobility penalty, the player will have to travel fast when outdoors. Their low warmth and windproof bonuses mean they offer little protection from the cold. Generally it is better to harvest these shoes once you find a better pair. Repair should be a last option, as it is time-consuming, inefficient, and only gives 20% improvement in the item's decay status.
