Cosmos Vs Powersprint

[Nico]

Hi I'm looking to buy some spikes shoes. I will use them for
short-medium distances... say 200-1500m. Mainly for
training, I don't have a chance to race that often anymore.

I was wondering if any of you could suggest the difference
between the Adidas Cosmos and the Powersprint. They both
have the "II" version, what's the difference?

I see a Cosmos II for 200 bucks on the web and a
Powersprint for 30.

Does anybody have an idea if they have a narrow or wide fit?

Thanks

Nico

Cosmos is an Adidas entry level brand that I believe is
being phased out. If you saw a Cosmos ll for $200, there is
likely something wrong, as you can buy one on eastbay.com
for $20. Powersprint is a sprint spike only intended for 100-
400. If you are trying to run the full range of 200-1500,
you are probably going to need a middle distance spike.
Sprint spikes don't have heels, so it is difficult for most
people to run 800/1500 in them.

A couple other (nike) spikes you might look at are the Zoom
Shift and Zoom Kennedy.

What size? I emailed Spike, and he's a size 9.5, and has
several pairs in various stages of wear he'll sell, so if
that's good I'll put you two in touch and you can do biz.
