Ive had mine for a week (hehe... suckers!) and they are great. They feel almost exactly like the PVLites, as they should, but with a stiffer sole, more like a triple jump spike. They also have a more comfortable mesh covering your your foot. The materials are completely different on the outside, and they are much much nicer. They actually look like a sprint/jump spike and not a peice of leather with red and blue on it. Much more durable so far, much more support, and a clean look. Already had an indoor PR jumping in them, haha I love em!

I got mine yesterday. I bought them from Dick Pond Athlectics where they were only $107. Plus since their company is based in Chicago and I live in Indiana I got them the next day. Pretty sweet. Here is the website if you want to save some money
