Hi there,
I'm looking at different distance spikes and don't know how to choose a pair that's best for me. I've used Nike Zoom Mambas (Neon orange shoes) in the past and did exceptionally well with them. My PRs with them are 3:56 1500m and 14:48 5000m.
My main events of focus will be the 1500m and 5000m. What are the best ways to see which shoes are best for me?
I'm currently looking at the following shoes:
~ Nike Zoom Mamba 2 (3.9 ounces, $115) - Distance spikes
~ Nike Zoom Victory Spikes 2011 (3.4 ounces, $45) - Mid distance spikes
~ Nike Zoom Rival D 7 Men's Spikes (5.3 ounces, $60) - Distance spikes
~ Saucony Endorphin LD 3 Men's Spikes (3.0 ounces, $70) - Distance spikes
~ Brooks The Wire 2 Unisex Spike (3.8 ounces, $100) - Distance spikes
The reason why I put the prices was because maybe the more expensive distance spikes don't provide much of an advantage vs distance spikes that are cheaper.
Thanks, any input is most appreciated!
