Fit and use notes
This listing uses men's track sizing. A secure fit is expected, but the toes should not curl or feel compressed; compare measured length before selecting remaining sizes.
Its stated range begins at 800 m. Shorter sprints generally benefit from a more aggressive sprint-specific plate.
