First year of indoor track. The track team will do training in hallways and corridors for the most part. Distance runners train outside but for those who run the 300m and 600m, what are the best shoes for training indoors? Current trainers for XC are Mizuno Wave Riders. Thanks.
I've never used Adidas before, just so ya know
But the Adidas Boston boost and the Adidas adios boost both have continental rubber on the soles, which I think may help you the most with traction.
You could always look into some low top basketball shoes if traction becomes a headache.
Where do you live? Why so much training inside?
Upstate NY

Okay, adding Adidas Boston and Adios to my short list. Low top basketball shoes for running? Hmm, never considered it. Thanks, I'll look into both.
Nobody has any other suggestions? I've heard lots of complaints about shin splints developing from the hard surfaces in training. Does anybody know what might be good shoes to prevent something like that?

I expect you'll get suggestions for massively cushioned shoes in response to this. But thee has been research done, bits of it turn up now and again but vanish pretty quickly, showing that shoes with more cushioning actually create MORE shock and impact when you run in them. Search for Steve Robbins, MD., there are a few others too. This has been measured with impact sensors. Evidently your foot wants to know what it's going to land on and needs to feel the surface. Add layers of cushion underneath your foot and you unconsciously slam your foot into the ground harder in an attempt to feel the ground. Just in case you want to go another direction.
My suggestion (and the suggestion of 90% of the people on this board): run outside. There is no comparison between running outside and running through hallways. It just doesn't make sense.

Interesting. Actually fascinating. I'll do some research on that!

Yea, but it's not a choice as much as an imposition. This is the snow capital of the US and if the streets aren't plowed to the shoulder, the team cannot go out to run. You can't run safely in the street. I guess there's always the Y and the treadmill.
