Enabling the track shoe’s precise and highly breathable fit is the mesh upper it utilizes. It wraps comfortably around the natural shape and contours of the foot to permit security. The tacked-down suede tongue of the running spike provides a superior fit.

Evospeed Star 6 comes with removable spike pins

Two components comprise the outsole of the Evospeed Star 6. These are the full-length Pebax plate and EverTrack high-abrasion rubber.

The spike plate of the shoe is intended for housing the sprinting platform’s removable spike pins. It contains 6 spike receptacles, aiding in the varying needs of the runners. 

Aggressive traction

The general configuration of the plate is also meant for high-strength, aggressive traction. With its lightweight makeup, it does not weigh the athlete down, thus promoting more efficiency in each stride.

I race distances between 800 meters and 10K whether it be on the track, the roads, or on cross country courses. My typical training consists of easy days, long days, workouts (fartleks, tempos, interval training, etc.). My typical training paces range from 7’30 a mile on easy days to sub-5 minutes a mile on fast interval days, and with many paces in between. I run anywhere from 40-60 miles a week. My personal bests are 2:00 for 800m, 4:30 for 1600m, 9:50 for 3200m, 15:57 for 5K, and 34:10 for 10K.
