Blister Jun 2008 3:48pm, 12 Jun 2008 4,568 posts	Blister I have 6mm spikes in at the moment...I've never tried any other length on the track though...actually I have only recently started using my spikes anyway. Unless you mean what make and model, well in that case I have a pair of Nike something or other that were given to me for free and they aren't exactly a perfect fit. I've got a few other pairs that were given to me as well but none of them seem to fit very well.

Blister Jun 2008 4:03pm, 12 Jun 2008 4,569 posts	Blister Should be about 8 ½ - 9, most of my trainers are Asics DS Trainer and I've only one pair of Nike Air Zoom's - I think they are 8 ½. Well they are quite old and but seem fine to me.

Well just about good enough to let me win...
