What runners say

“Much more durable than other spikes on the market thanks to the boost midsole, the full-length spike plate, and the thicker mesh upper.”

Zante 4/5 Full review

“Not a super responsive ride — for 800m you'll feel comfortable but not as quick as you want. 1500m and up is where this shoe shines.”

Zante 4/5 Full review

“I've had my pair for over a year and they still feel like new, with no fraying whatsoever.”

Zante 4/5 Full review

“Powerful push-off thanks to the full length spike plate and the energy return of the boost foam.”

“I never felt sore the next day as it was well cushioned without sacrificing speed.”

4/5 Full review

“You're getting an extremely durable distance track and cross country spike that will last season after season.”

Zante 4/5 Full review

“The full length plate and boost midsole really gave this spike pop like no other.”

squatch 5/5 Full review

“How comfortable they are — almost as comfortable as racing flats.”

1979 4/5 Full review

“Fits like any track spike would — pretty snug, not overly so.”

Zante 4/5 Full review

“This shoe is 4.9 oz in a men's size 9, which means it's a bit heavier than other spikes.”

Solid Track Spike

squatch · Sep 24, 2019

5/5

Overall

I ran in this spike in events from 1500m - 8k (xc), and it has performed great in every race. The full length play along with the boost midsole really gave this spike pop like no other spike I have had. The only complaint I have is that if you choose to run in this spike sock-less then expect rubbing on the Achilles and tops of your toes then. I would highly recommend this spike for and distance above a 3k.

Great track shoe. AMAZING XC shoe

Anonymous runner · Sep 17, 2019

4/5

Overall

I got this shoe for track and had a great experience. I ran everything from 3200-800 and even ran a 26 200 in it during a workout, a great part of it was I never felt sore the next day as it was well cushioned without sacrificing speed. It can be a bit odd changing gears in the shoe but once you lock in a pace it's great. Coming into college XC from California I had never run in spikes for XC. For an 8k race, I decided to run in these(with 3/8 spikes put in) the spike was amazing on grass, it gripped very well and handled everything from the hills to downhills beautifully.

Adidas Adizero Avanti.. better than Victory 3!!

OlympicHopefull · Nov 29, 2018

5/5

Overall

This shoe is by far the best distance spike I have run in; from comfort to responsiveness, it's got it all. The only real downside is the lack of color choice of the shoe itself, as well as people having narrow feet. Those who have narrow feet may find the shoe to be occasionally loose and not a snug fit on foot. Other than that, it's truly the best spike out in the market and is better than the Victory 3.
