I'm looking to run a bit under 10:00 for the 3200 this year and am trying to decide between the new victories and matumbos. I also run 1600 and occasionally 800, but 3200 is my best event. I have a midfoot strike, if it matters. I know some elites use them for longer distances, but obviously I am not elite. Would victories be good for me or too aggressive for the speed I am running?

More aggressive shoes will make you want to run faster,
I wore both in hs. Two mile was long for me so I wore the predecessor to the matumbo.
Doesn't matter how fast you run. Your foot strike and how well your calves can handle a more aggressive plate are what matter. If you are a mid foot runner they most likely will be fine assuming your calves have the stamina to manage a more aggressive shoe.
the kenyan's don't use vics, they run barefoot. Take notes. Distance running is a sport dominated the kenyan's much like the romans dominated Europe in 1300's. When in rome, do as the romans do. Race barefoot.
