I love the Streak XC; great shoe. No extra unnecessary bells or whistles. Plus they're pretty inexpensive.
Never worn the T4-T5; tried them on, but they had a really curved last.
Streaks if youre running some soft surface and also a forefoot or midfoot striker. As for the Brooks T's go with the new T6s. Theyre amazing. Im a forefoot striker but they seem to have a lot of heel cushion if that suits your landing. You will get a lot more miles out of the T6s but the streaks are a great shoe as well. Basically I'm running in both right now. Streaks for tempos and repeats and T6s for training. By the way order off runningwarehouse and use the flotrack discount off dyestat in the official coupons thread on pg 35 and the streaks cost >$45 and the T6s >$60.

Awesome, don't suppose we could get a link?
Both hold up pretty well & are great shoes. I've trained plenty in both & both are a little too minimal for training for me. The Brooks I had to do some modifications with scissors to fit better, the back dug away at my achilles. The streak xc felt more minimal & faster.
Overall I liked the streak xc, just fit better.
yo fadasdf, can you elaborate how you modified your brooks flats? cause i'm having the same heel cut/blister problem that you are describing and i would like to change that if possible
I just cut the top part of the back of the shoe off that was digging into my flesh. Doesn't look pretty, but it did the trick.
