I have the old pair of the adidas model, and I have no complaints about them. I really like them.

Get which over one is said to last the longest and has the flattest/stiffest bottom. You dont want to be leaning forward slightly like a sprinter, more like a triple jumper.
The greater the challenge, the more glorious the triumph

well, i ordered the adidas adiSTAR spikes cuz I valued more runway speed then energy transfer at take off, i also do the LJ, TJ, 200,400, 800, 300H and sometime other events that the extra speed will be crucial, so basicly these spike are best for my need everywhere on the track and help my approach speed, cuz i sometimes come in flatfooted the last few steps without noticing. :deadrose:
