Great distance shoe for your budget and for years!

Anonymous runner · May 4, 2021

5/5

Overall

This shoe is great for them distance races on the track. Having a weight of 3.5 ounces, a breathable upper, grippy outsole; It sacrifices for the cushion and for the durability. Personally, the track spikes has lasted me for my powerful season and the only wear on the shoe is just the squished foam lines because I've used this for one and a half a season. Though it might not seem like it, but these shoes will make you feel fast, fit comfortable, and make you fly! These are definitely a great track spike for those who want to go beyond on the 800m towards the 5k without having to break your wallet.

Takes a while to get used to

5/5

Overall

I have used this spike from sprints to 3k. Sometimes my foot gets sore in it but I never got any real injuries from wearing this spike. Definitely made me run faster and ran an 800 PR and 3k PR in this spike. Takes a little while to get used to then you'll be fine. I definitely recommend this shoe if you want to run a PR!
