Question 4

My 16 year old son is new to track and has been running 300m and 400m in NB Rebel v2.  He is having hard time adjusting to wearing spike, no cushion.  How would the Wire v7 work?  They have great cushion as his trainers but with spikes.

Accepted Answer

Hi Mark! The Wire 7 may be a great option with its cushion level as this style is designed for the 5k distance.

Question 5

Would these be a good steeplechase spike?

Accepted Answer

Hi Benjamin! The Wire 7 is the best option out of our current Spike styles. We're hesitant to recommend this style for Steeplechase as there isn't much traction besides the spike pins themselves and also has a relatively unstable ride to it, not sure if would be great for pushing off the barrier. Also, the upper may be tough to drain water effectively.

Question 6

Any idea when the size 9.5 will be back in stock?

Accepted Answer

Hi Owen! Unfortunately, we do not have a size 9.5 available for the Wire 7. We recommend going with a size 10.

Question 11

What is the heel-toe drop on the Wire 7?

Accepted Answer

Hi Norm! The heel-to-toe drop for the Wire 7 is 2mm without spikes. Different sized spikes can make a difference on the drop.

Question 12

Hello! I am looking for shoes that I can use for the 800-2 mile(mostly mile probably), and think these would be too much when I run the 800. I don’t want to buy two pairs of spies, so which one spike would you recommend?

Accepted Answer

Hi Braeden! The Wire 7 is a great option as you can use this style in the 2 mile or less. Another option is the ELMN8 6, but this style is great for the mile or less.

Question 13

Does this shoe offer a lot of energy return and spring off the ground? Also Is the amount of energy return it offers more or less than a carbon plated shoe?
