Why do the plastic on my Nike Zoom MaxCat Track Spikes fade when i run in cement/rocks?

I got the Spikes just recently through EBay, and I got them for an upcoming Track Meet held by my school. I tried them outside, which was Cement and had a few rocks on it. All the Spikes were inserted (5 on each shoe) and it felt uncomfortable too. The Spikes faded a bit as well. Maybe I'm adding the wrong number of Spikes to each shoe? or maybe Cement/Rock isn't the right material to practice on. Somebody help..

yes the spikes arent made to run on cement and hard surfaces they are made to run on a track with rubber in which they can dig into they cant dig into cement so it just chips them off. just go to a sports store like sports authority you can get some new spikes for your shoes for around 5 dollars. of course they are not comfortable your using them on cement. sorry your spikes faded and good luck with the meet
Reply:the answers said above are true and to add to your not being comfortable i have a suggestion. I actually run in these for the 800m and they were also very uncomfortable when i first use them with all the spikes in them. Look in your spike bag and find the "blank" spikes, or spikes without points. Insert them in the spike slot that feels the most uncomfortable. For me it was the inside part of each shoe
Reply:The other guy is right, and i dont suggest buying shoes from ebay





alot of them are fake
Reply:The cement/rock is not the right surface to practice on. They were made for races and running on the track. If you want racing shoes for the cement/rocks you should get racing flats.
