My daughter used these a few times for track and field. Training shoes that allow you to be aware of the ground contact like spikes, making it easier to feel the ground and weight transfer. WINDSPRINT 3 Up shoes designed for training, providing a feel similar to spikes. The upper material uses Motion Wrap Upper, also used in spikes, to improve lightness and fit. The flat sole design makes it easy to feel the ground and transfer weight, and a soft material is placed in the forefoot of the insole. This makes it easier to feel the ground contact and the sensation of gripping the ground during weight transfer. The outsole also provides a firm grip. These are up shoes that cater to a variety of users, from athletes just starting track and field to elites who want to improve their training efficiency.
