You don’t need to hold the Distancestar for long to see it’s built for putting in the miles. It’s an all-round distance spike: in our best 800m spikes guide we found it comfortable on everything from 400m to 10,000m, and the padded plate running the full length of the shoe keeps you feeling fresh even after hard sessions.
The breathable mesh upper keeps your feet cool, and a reinforced toe cap adds durability for the thousands of foot strikes a distance spike takes. The trade-off is that mesh lets in water on wet days. It’s versatile enough for firm cross country courses too, which is why it’s a staple of our junior and kids spikes guides.
Who it’s for: juniors, beginners and club runners wanting one dependable spike for the track and firm XC.
