Hi, I was just wondering if you need to be a certain speed to run in spikes or flats in order to get the most out of them. Because I have about a 19 minute 5k and 5 minute mile, and I was thinking of buying the Nike Dragonfly's for track since I mainly use the Nike Pegasus for daily runs I'd want a good one for track and possibly XC as well. But I was wondering, am I fast enough to use the Dragonfly's? Plus for XC, is it better to get the Dragonfly XC's or the Streakfly's, as I have just been using my Pegasus' for XC and I've gotten a 19 minute 5k. Will spikes or flats really be beneficial to my running to decrease my times by a lot?

Like yes. The shoes make a difference. No, I'm not sure that it's nearly worth it at the 19 minute 5k range since there's so much else you can do to improve like just running more, and you'll be able to tell whether you like running or not once you get faster over the 5k and decide to commit to a pair of really good race shoes then. But overall, it's up to you, if you can afford them and wanna try them out and think you'll use them well then go for it.
