NikeZoom Rival SD 2 Track and Field Shoes nk685134 102

My teenager is in HS Track and needed "Throwing" shoes. Locally I couldn't find them as they are a special order. I didn't feel like driving an hour to Tyson's Mall, Virginia, and they probably wouldn't have stocked the shoe. So, I took a chance on ordering them online at Amazon.This is the first time I have ever ordered shoes online. The reason why I felt comfortable about doing it is that I, and my son, wear Adidas and Nike's, and know how both are sized. Not to my surprise, the shoes came a few days early. Amazon is pretty superb concerning ETA.The shoes fit perfect, high quality, and my son has gotten a lot of compliments about them. The icing on the cake is the price: far less expensive than if I would have ordered them elsewhere or a retail store had them in stock.

These shoes will most definitely add distance to any thrower not currently on throwing shoes. For context, I throw discus and shot put, the latter less so. While the grip is similar to most pairs of trainers, it rotates incredibly well and can help any thrower who spins or glides add distance. The one glaring con that I can think of is the fact that it took me around 5 1.5-hour practice sessions for it to break into the shape of my foot. before that, it was so painful that I had to sit down after my throws. I am a US Men's 10.5, but I experienced a better fit with the size 11, so you may want to consider going up a half size. All in all, it takes time to get used to them, but they are overall very good shoes, and can make a world of difference to someone who is starting to spin and glide.

Fast shipping, exactly as described!

Like the color and fit.

The fit and style was perfect

Comfort and size and quality are perfect

Received this very fast, very sturdy shoe also! Not a smooth bottom like the picture but the little bit of grip is a bonus for shot put and discus my son said. This shoe is very narrow but I did read that in another comment so that was the risk I was taking ordering online. My son is very flat footed, like no arch what so ever and when he was breaking them in he did complain some about the arch but eventually (2 or so weeks) he no longer had a problem with that.

Normally use rotationals these are great for practice and sturdier. The rotational is a lighter shoe but doesn’t hold up as well. Have both now faster with rotationals , use these for practice
