Hi Im new here but not new to track and field. I am in need of a new pair of spikes (currently have the asisc japan lite-ning 2). I know the Japan Lite-ning 3’s are coming out soon, but im looking for something with a spike plate similar to the adidas demolishers, the only problem I have with those is that they are 3 times heavier than the asics. I have also heard that the powercats are good but have never tried them before. All suggestions are appreciated. Btw I mainly want to use them for 55-200m. I am a very skinny guy about 5 ft 3 120-125lbs.

Welcome Ben! I have always been a Nike guy but really like these pumas after a couple easy summer workouts.

Wear whatever is comfortable. Weight makes little/no difference. Get the shoes that work for your feet.

I currently have both the lite-ning 2’s and adidas demolishers. I like the demolishers better becuase of the huge spike plate they have gives me better support and make me feel more powerful however, I think they are too heavy since I run significantly slower in them than I do in the lite-ning 2’s. I believe the demolishers weigh 12 ounces (confirm?) while the lite-nings are about 4.8. I am kinda looking to try something with a spike plate similar tothe demolishers but significantly lighter like the lite-ning 2’s
