A few of my teammates have them and they really like them...

Ive never tried them because I really love my Mizuno's!

Those mizunos seem to be a hot pair of spikes. I'm considering a pair for myself. Any other comments?

I saw the new red Mizunos and they look really nice. I'm considering ordering a pair. I've been on the Asics Cyber Jump for the last 4 years and have been really satisfied with them, so I'm also considering buying the new Beijing Cyber Jump. I had a question about the fit of the Mizunos. I've never tried any Mizunos before, how do they compare with either Asics or Nike in terms of length and width?

Thanks!
Maxime

A friend of mine uses them, and says they are pretty nice. Hes not one to be very critical of his jumping spikes, but he did say they are meant for triple jump and pole vault, and that they are pretty comfortable.

They are by far the lightest and best fitting jumping spikes I have ever worn. I have worn the PV Lights as well as some Reeboks... but these Mizuno's by far fit the best overall for my entire foot, and are very light.

They also have the most sturdy spike plate I have ever had, without too much angle on the toe plate. I wouldn't trade them for anything, and they are very fast! I think I will always order this model too..

I even ran a new 55m PR in these spikes, tried my sprint spikes a week later, and ran over a 10th of a second slower... so in my mind they are very fast!
