Nike Zoom Forever

bump

I'm only familiar with the Mt. Sac course and the Forevers would work well for it. You can definatley run on asphalt with them and have plenty of traction for softer surfaces.

thanks

anyone else???

tested them. very good shoes and will work on all surfaces. if you cant wear spikes these are best option.

asphalt on mt. sac?

the air strip and past the switch backs are asphalt

Are they a good overall flat? Up with the streak X-C or H-Street?

I've worn them for a trail type XC and for a gravel trail / sand type road and they are great. Vrey nice on wood chips and grass as well. They have a plastic type base with pretty hard rubber waffle nubs. THey are a spike last type so not at all like the Streak XC. More like a track spike, the steeple spikes but with a waffle bottom. I ran a bit on pavement and they were fine. If you had to you could run a road mile and they would be great but I don't know about an entire 5km race. Watch the sizing; I wear 11.5 in most Nike but for the Zoom Forever I need a 11. ORdered 11.5 and I kept them but they are big.

What about this plastic plate? Does it make the shoe stiff compared to something like H-street?

If i wear a 9 in Mayfly's and Eldorett II's, should i get a 8.5 or 9 forever?

Sizing should be the same in the mayfly, eldo and forever. I wear an 11.5 in all 3.

thanks

anyone else test the zoom forevers?

Does it?

I have never been a fan of spikes for any race, but for cross I have always worn spikes. Would these be like a flat in track for cross basically? And are they out yet?
