Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Very light at 7.7 oz, so the approach run feels quick.
  • Purpose-built pole vault spike for runway speed and plant.
  • Breathable, responsive build keeps feet cool during repeated jump attempts.

Cons

  • Thin foam midsole offers little cushioning for extended running.
  • Likely wears out faster than many comparable track spikes.
  • Snug racing fit means comfort lags roomier trainers and spikes.
