I run high school track and I am a sprinter. I got these spikes for the 200m race and they are great. They feel comfortable and snug plus they give a great grip to the track, especially on the turn. I know of two hurdlers on my team that wear these same shoes for the 400m hurdles and the 110m hurdles. I highly recommend these spikes.

excellent shoe, lightweight, comfy, fitting especially at the toes.. traction with the track is good

Okay. Maybe my star rating isn't fair. Because this is clearly a user (me) error. My husband's a runner. I wanted to buy running shoes. I saw some for $20 and got all excited because running shoes cost between $60 and $80 for a decent pair. Do you see where this is going? I knew about the spikes, but since it said they were removeable, I didn't worry.

The other real problem is the color. These shoes have some serious BLING. They're gold. And they kind of look like they were tiled in gold. Even if they worked on pavement, my husband would. never. wear. these. shoes. He wouldn't wear a pink polo shirt, either... it's in that category.

Long story short, unless you are using shoes on a track or going drag, don't buy these.. lol They definitely won't work on the hilly pavement of our neighborhood. *sigh* Silver lining? We have a great new white elephant gift.....
