With Tungsten carbide spikes inserted into the outsole lugs, these shoes provide the ultimate grip, enabling you to tackle your usual training routes even when the weather takes a real turn for the worse. Grip is never compromised and the traction is superb. As well as the spikes, there’s a Vibram rubber outsole with an aggressive 6mm lug. Cushioning feels just right and provides a good level of comfort but is low enough to give a good feel of the ground beneath your feet. The upper is strong and well made, with a tough rubber toe bumper for protection and durability and rubberised print around the midfoot for support.
