Racing flats → Racing flat – According to the MOS (WP:SINGULAR), article titles are generally singular. Other shoe articles are singular. I don't know this domain; do you ever refer to a single shoe as a "racing flat"? relisted--Mike Cline (talk) 16:14, 19 January 2012 (UTC) Joja  lozzo  23:20, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose -- one needs two shoes, so that the plural is natural. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:11, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't think that justifies overriding SINGULAR. We could make the same argument for Shoe ( and all of its sub-articles) or Glove. I don't see a reason for keeping the current title unless there is a good case for consistent plural usage. Joja  lozzo  17:56, 12 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Support - I goggled around and found plenty of examples of singular usage. Here's a few:
 * "The Competition marries the minimal upper and outsole of a track spike with the cushioning of a road-racing flat."
 * "go with a road-racing flat or a cross-country shoe with a rubber waffle outsole"
 * "The Green Silence is first and foremost a blazin’ fast performance racing flat.",
 * "The ASICS® Hyper™ XCS is a versatile track flat designed to provide comfort, support and traction on a variety of surfaces. ".

 * Support due to the fact that neither the shoe, glove article etc are plural.--70.24.206.51 (talk) 20:44, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Support Other articles use singular and so do the sources.  Blue Rasberry    (talk)   16:36, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
