I know this question has been asked soo many times, but I just want a clean cut vote on this.
Tell me which spikes you like best, and why? I guess it's all up to personal preference, but I want to see the overall BEST one.
It's so confusing because a lot of people tell me to get the LJ or TJ, which leaves me wondering ... why make PV shoes if everyone's getting the TJ/LJ instead?
Help me out!! thanksss
Oh! Also, everyone talks about Nike Zoom PV and stuff, but does anyone have experience/review on Asic's Turbo Jump or Asics Cyber Jump Beijing? Because those look REALLY banging, but I don't know if they're good.
PV Spike recommendation?

Re: PV Spike recommendation?
It's objective... Not everyone has tried every shoe, and some people like different shoes than other people. That's just the simple truth, you won't be getting a 'clean cut vote' EVER! Sorry!
Though you could put in a poll in the topic (if it doesn't get locked).
Then the limited number of people that read this topic can ACTUALLY 'vote'.

Re: PV Spike recommendation?
I don't know every spike in the universe, so I'm not going to make a poll with 20 different shoes.
Never mind then, I guess this whole discussions thread is useless if everything is objective. I was simply asking which people have used and their review. Maybe people have used more than one and like one better than the other. Maybe they really really love their spikes, maybe they're kinda iffy about it.
I just want recommendations, and since none of the shoe shopping sites have decent reviews, I figured I'd just ask here. No need for the sarcastic and haughty tone.

Take some time to read through the forum, there are plenty of helpful reviews buried in here.
Although PP can be annoying sometimes, he wasn't trying to be sarcastic and haughty here.
