Review
The Puma evoSpeed Sprint is an elite level spike designed for serious sprinters, yet one of the first things you'll notice when you put these shoes on is just how comfortable they are.
The lining of the shoe feels very soft against the skin and the shape of the shoe hugs the foot perfectly. The microfiber suede lining is a superb addition to the shoe without adding too much unnecessary weight.
And when you get moving in them things get even better. The TPU spike plate provides superb traction on the track and a great lift off the toe each time the forefoot leaves the floor. The slight bulge on the outside of the plate adds to this effect and once out of the drive phase this spike comes into its own.
The midfoot of the shoe was designed specifically to restrict the amount of time lost by the athlete between the push-off an the initial strike phrase. The result? The traction and lift you get from the shoe helps you reach your top end speed like no other, mind you - that's what you'd expect from a shoe that's been designed for the world 100m record holder Usain Bolt.
The external heel counter helps keeps your foot locked into position which combined with the Clarion Rovenica upper of the shoe gives excellent support and torque when going round the bend. Our athlete reviewer, GB Decathlete Liam Ramsay, particularly likes wearing this spike for the 400m thanks to the spike's light weight and performance on the bends.
There is a circular embossed effect on the forefoot of the shoe adds to the aesthetics however it's primarily purpose is to increase the aerodynamics of the spike, thus reducing the amount of drag on the foot.
The Olympic colours of the spike are white upper with a red lining and a blue striped formstripe. The spike is also available made in black and green. The bold white colour may not be for all, but as Puma say they 'have been in the Helps-You-Look-Good business since 1948... so, we know how it works'.
VincoSport reviewer Matthew Quine and athlete tester Liam Ramsay believe that the Puma evoSpeed Sprint both talks the talk and walks the walk and have awarded it a very strong total rating of 94%.
