    I need a new pair of spikes, and I was looking at the Saucony Ballistas. Has anyone had or have them, and how do you like them? Are they enough of a shoe for a 3200? Also, are they durable enough to get through at least one full season? I have the carerrra xc 2s now which have ripped after only a couple XC races and most of track under both my arches. From the pictures online it appears that they have a thicker mesh than the Carreras, and since they are a mid d spike I would assume they have a sturdier upper, but I have no clue. Thanks

    I honestly wouldn't want to use those for a 3200. Spike plate is way too aggressive. I think the nike zoom vic 3s are the best and most versatile spike on the market right now. They aren't super durable but would definitely last a full season.

    Thanks for the input and suggestion. Unfortunately as of now I don't have the money to buy the vics but I probably will get them for track next year. If I had the money I would get them, but I need a pair this week.

    Ballistas are super agressive and thats coming from someone who likes agressive spikes. I don't even wear them for the 1500 I only use them for the 8 and when Im in a 4x4
