OMG, I have those first two pairs of spikes Paul presented, just that I was running in them in the late '90s early '00s. Still have them as a souvenirs
I've often wondered: What's it like to design and build track spikes? Who does the designing? I've begun building my very own track spikes on my channel. They'll let the toes spread out Altra-style, because I haven't seen any track spikes ever that are shaped like that.
