Certain puzzles require the player to reach a goal within a constrained time limit, and these shoes will usually be found nearby. Depending on the length of the puzzle they are intended for, different pairs of shoes will last longer than others, although most last for around 10-15 seconds.

Turbo Trainers are shoes that, when worn by [[Kazooie]], allow her to use the [[Turbo Talon Trot]] and run at high speeds for a limited amount of time.


Since the Turbo Talon Trot is based on the [[Talon Trot]] (actually, holding {{button|N64|Z}} will keep a Talon Trot going once the shoes wear off), Kazooie may use these shoes either by herself or with [[Banjo]], but Banjo cannot use them on his own. (Obviously, Kazooie runs far faster without Banjo's extra weight, a fact that must be used to beat [[Mr. Fit]] at a footrace.)

However, one pair in [[Bubblegloop Swamp]] may be worn by Crocodile Banjo during [[Mr. Vile]]'s mini-game, greatly increasing Banjo's speed and making winning a bit easier. The [[Twinkly Packing Challenge]] can also be used with these shoes.
