Hi, I am intrigued by the Nike Mamba as I search for track spikes. I am not a steeplechaser but rather a 5K/10K runner. Would the Mambas work for these events?

I think already 3k is the limit with the Mamba, and you will seriously suffer if you take it beyond 5k. It’s not enough shoe, even though you’re on the track. The Matumbo 3, or even better, the new Dragonfly spike.
Cushioning is not a concern for me, as I have an efficient gait.
I wouldn't have any qualms putting out 5ks in the mamba, but your calves won't appreciate 10ks in them most likely. Great shoes though
