  1. I would like to know if you have suggestions of shoes for someone who
    does sprinting on a cement surface. That person actually plays hockey
    on cement in an inside rink. He would need something light and that
    has a good adherance on the floor. Thanks in advance!

    Playing floor hockey isn't the same thing as sprinting. Sprinting
    shoes basically have no heel, only a spike plate in the toe. They are
    designed for doing just one thing: running forward, on the toes. This
    isn't what a floor hockey game consists of, it's just one of the
    skills.

    For floor hockey, you want shoes that have a heel, and that provide
    lateral stability. I'm sure the floor hockey people have worked out
    what these are. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floorball,
    the players wear ``indoor sport shoes''. A Google search for these
    reveals plenty of hits.

    Let the newsgroup know whether you also need a change of diapers and a
    burp.

    Then have that person ask people who play hockey, this is a running
    newsgroup, moron.

    I agree with Kaz. You need "indoor Hockey" shoes. "Sprinting" shoes are
    designed for running all-out in a straight line, usually on a rubberized
    track. Sprint spikes are not appropriate for anything else (for example,
    if you had to change direction you would be in trouble)
