Soft upper that is friendly to beginners
These spikes are designed for athletes who are wearing track and field spikes for the first time. Therefore, they are constructed similarly to up shoes to avoid significant discomfort when worn. The midfoot section is combined with mesh fabric, ensuring breathability. Additionally, only the forefoot is made of artificial leather. This aims to securely hold the braking effect common among track and field beginners and enhance the durability of the forefoot. Moreover, it is designed to transmit force to the ground properly without lateral movement when speed is increased. As an entry-level model spike, it is straightforward, relatively non-restrictive, and easy to wear for various events.
Softness comparable to up shoes
The foot width is slightly wider. The fit around the heel and tongue is standard, providing a fit comparable to Asics up shoes. Since it maintains a feel similar to up shoes, the fit may be inferior compared to other intermediate to advanced level spikes. Additionally, if the heel is small or the foot width is extremely narrow, it may not fit adequately. Because it can be worn with the same sensation and size as up shoes, those purchasing spikes for the first time should consider them based on the same criteria as up shoes. In contrast, athletes accustomed to intermediate to advanced spikes may find the fit and lightweight characteristics lacking and may feel dissatisfied.
Spikes that prevent injuries
The pins are replaceable, with a configuration of 2-2-3 from the toe, totaling 7 pins. You can change to the optimal pins based on the style of the ground, such as an all-weather track or dirt track. The sole has a relatively flat structure up to the heel, providing very stable ground contact. Moreover, this sole is designed with flexibility in mind, resulting in a weaker rebound compared to other spikes. However, it is slightly harder and thicker than up shoes, allowing for a relatively stronger rebound compared to up shoes. While it offers high stability and flexibility, it may feel heavier compared to other spikes. I recommend this for those starting track and field.
Entry-level spike sole
Elite models generally have no curvature, and the effort is consistently transmitted; the sole has a relatively gentle curve and is flat. However, the toe area is slightly raised, supporting weight transfer during ground contact. Additionally, due to its flexibility, it allows for a strong push against the ground during takeoff, reducing fatigue. Compared to other intermediate to advanced spikes, the rebound is weaker, but beginners may feel it is stronger. Athletes at the beginner level in track and field tend to land on their heels during sprints, so the heel area is designed to be lightweight while incorporating cushioning.
