Just wondering what peoples opinions are on the best spikes for 3k and 5k. Matumbo, Victories, Avanti, Ventulus, Cadence etc.

Matumbo and Ventulus have the same plate, and would be my recommendation. If you're not restricted to those spikes, also check out the Puma Harambee and the Nike Eldoret II (which has been discontinued, but can usually be found on eBay for a reasonable price).
Victories hands down, the best spike for 800-5000m.
Has anyone tried the Brooks Wire?
vics will be tough on your calves for 5km. matumbo or vent 2's will treat you kindly...
Victories and mutumbos also wear out very fast. Very fast.
Anyone tried any of the adidas range of spikes for those distances? Are they as good as Nike
Bump
I like the Nike Mamba
Victories or Matumbo. Depending if you tend to run on your toes or flatfooter/heel strike. Id lean towards Matumbo for a 5k.
