The Wire!

I would like to introduce you to my new best friend The Wire from Brooks. These beauties should be available sometime in 2010, so if you are in the market for a new pair of spikes, these might be an option for you. Racing spikes are a very personal thing, and one spike might be perfect for one runner and not so good for another... but my friend The Wire will be an answer to many looking for the perfect fit.

What makes The Wire a good fit for most runners. Well first and foremost you barely even know it's on! Right there should tell you it's going to treat you well. Having worn a handful of Brooks spikes over the years, Brooks did a great job designing a spike that you don't even feel. The upper of the shoe forms to the foot well, and provides a nice snug fit. This upper also includes a nice heel counter to secure the foot into place without being to ridged. The highlight of The Wire in my book is the aggressive taper that they added to the spike plate. This makes for a seamless transition from mid-foot to toe when running at a fast pace.

If they can make these feet feel happy... then there is no telling what they can do for yours. I am really excited to put these babies to good use in December at Club XC Nats and February at US XC Nats. Run Happy my friends!
