I have the Cielo X 2 LD, and it's definitely not pebax foam. When I tried it for a workout it was one of the most underwhelming spikes I'd ever worn. I'd honest have preferred a pair of old Matumbo 3's
Are there any equivalent spikeless racers? As an old, relatively slow dude, I would rather avoid using spikes. Thanks.
So Mizuno and Asics have done it for years - I had multiple pairs of these once upon a time - of the best spikes I ever had (even though I just used it for workouts)

Those aren't spikes but tiny nubs - maybe 3mm long and you could easily grind them off if it was a problem. I know that a lot of the guys in the early 2000's used to grind down the fixed pin spikes in the Jasari
Again though, these are tough to find in general across brands mostly because of the perception of traction (which does matter) from product with spike pins.
Yeah I asked that question on another thread- so that's what the Washington guys were using...Adidas ? Some Ambition" and some "Avanti? " split evenly?
Yes, they're sponsored by Adidas now and have to use them. They used to be a Nike school, I have some UW victories from that era.
