Running Shoes

Running Shoes

Running Shoes were introduced in Ruby and Sapphire. Once you receive them from your mother, they allow you to run instead of walk, by pressing and holding the B button. While there are a few places that will not allow you to run, most caves, building and routes will.

The speed at which you can run is about twice as that of walking, yet slower than the Mach Bike.

In The Manga

In Pokemon Special, Ruby has a pair of Running Shoes, given to him by his father, Norman, for his birthday. They, like the in-game ones, allow Ruby to run far faster than normal.
