          I’ve heard people say that they could not stand the jsc, but the maxcats are great. I don’t see why there’s much difference between the two since they both have the same sole?? I already have the maxcats, but want to try the JSC.

          thanks

          ive heard that the upper makes the difference… with the lockdown and fit. but i might be wrong. anw we have plenty of maxcat and JSC wearers on this forum, you should get an answer pretty quick.

          Getting my deMOlishers tomorrow!!!! 😀

          the jsc’s are slightly lighter than the maxcats, so maybe that means they have even less support. personally i have bad luck with the maxcats on an outdoor track, so i wouldnt pick either of those shoes. but if it had to be one, the maxcats since they might have a little more support that the jsc

          really, I’ve heard the opposite. I got my superfly G5s today, don’t find much difference form the superfly P+, they’re lighter though…and :regan: someone stole the drawstring bag from my box .

          JSC’s- Same plate, differnt upper, not very durable, very light, very flexable

          MaxCat’s- same plate, differnt upper,more durable, not as light, it has a weird lock-down, just as flexable

          if i find the maxcats to be a little, just a little too narrow, will the JSCs be alright? I’ve never had the blister problem with the maxcats. Will I be at a disadvantage if i wear the JSCs instead of the maxcats in a race?

          the maxcats are too narrow in the toebox, just a little too narrow.
