Super cushioned and comfortable spike

5/5

Overall

This spike is fast for cross country, but also one of the most cushioned and comfortable spikes I've ever worn. The comfort was off the charts, because of the upper and the ankle sock, the shoe was really comfortable. It's actually possible to wear this shoe barefoot and be comfortable. That's how I ended wearing this shoe because it felt comfortable. I managed to pull off around 4 races in this shoe barefoot and I only had blisters once due to a rock getting in the shoe. Super nice shoe. The cushioning was actually surprising because it was so much cushioning. It was really comfortable to crank out 5k in this shoe. The durability was disappointing because some of the tread on the outsole filled with dirt, and so it made the shoe heavier. The appearance was brilliant, I managed to get it in bright green. If you're looking for a shoe that is feeling like a racing shoe with plenty of stiffness, this is not for you. If you want a spike that feels like a trainer, go ahead!
