Choosing different gear for different activities (e.g., Run vs Trail Run vs Treadmill)

With gear (i.e. shows), you can automatically attach a piece of gear to different activities: Running, Cycling, Hiking, Swimming, Walking, Other.

That's nice, but what I want to do is use different gear based on wheather I choose a Run or Trail Run. I use different shoes for these different activities.

Does anyone know if this is possible? I can't find a way to do it.

I echo all that ask for this feature and am honestly surprised that Garmin 965 is not asking me what shoes I am using today (if I have more than one running shoe in the gear list, and yes I should be able to classify more than one pair for running. Personally I mix up my running shoes for different days and workouts.

Well, this is one of many good ideas which I think we should report using this form

I was always thought that original idea of Activities profiles was to do exactly what we asking here.

Copy Run, rename it to Run with Shoes 1 and assign those Shoes 1 to it. Voila!

The same for Sensors. If I go running I do not need to "actively search" for my Power meter, Radar or Extended Display. Copy Activity and have option which sensors should be on or off.

By the way I am trying to keep this post: if-you-need-glasses-to-read---please-share-idea visible in hope that maybe sometime in the future there will be enough inputs reported by Garmin and they reverse what happend to gauges.
