Primarily going to be running the 800 this track season, but will also be running a couple 1600s.
It seems like the new victory spikes would be better normally in this scenario, but my team is racing pretty much once a week all of April and May. I’d probably be doubling or tripling at these races. I also have some weak shins, so am thinking the extra cushioning could be a plus with the frequent racing. Thoughts?
yes
I would buy both the Dragonfly and the new Vics through running warehouse. Test them out together for a day and return the one you like less. Running warehouse has a very good return policy
Buy the Dragonflies.
My kid PR'ed by 22 seconds in the 1500m and 27 seconds in the 3000m the first meet he wore them.
Most sizes sold out

Is that all? My kid PR’d by a minute in the 800 after smelling the dragonfly’s, didn’t even have to wear them. He’s now getting a full ride to a prestigious D1, has a 4.0 and was recently recruited by nasa

For those of you who don't think my kid massively PR'ed wearing Dragonflies

apparently your son would've lost to the kid in second by 20 seconds if he was wearing the same regular Adidas spikes as him

Nice video. I could hear the foot steps behind me and the breathing down the back of my neck as I watched!

You have no idea how much work my kid puts in day in and day out. But to say the shoes didn't help would be complete ignorance.

And Cole Hocker and Cooper Teare are just 4:10 milers by that reasoning.

When it comes to whether or not you should get these super shoes, the answer is ALWAYS yes. Should you drop 150-250 dollars on a pair? That depends on your priorities.
Alright everyone cool it with the shoe arguing! I’m gonna buy them! Just need to find a pair in a size 10!
