I once ran a set indoors and they seemed very similar to the shuey yellow minispikes, i think i will run them exclusively in the regionals this year.

What surface were you running on?

I ran 1 set at two outdoor regionals last year, and they don't seem worn at all. They still look like new.

Whereas the shueys were worn after one meeting.

Grip wise. i think they're more consistent, and don't drop off as much.

This is why im running them, lots and lots of feedback like this. Also i have heard that they do ok in the wet so i wont need yellows then a set of green incase it rains.

BTW, running indoor when teesside had loads and loads of slippy they wore down very quickly but didnt loose grip very much.

Odd, I found them the total opposite last year, half way through a run, it was like they just switched off probably only on their 4th or 5th run on grass/worn grass.
