Type Of Shoe

[Christopher]

Alright Vapor Talkers I need your help. While ordering from China over the years I've become quite close with a few of the people I order with. One of my contacts has a nephew who is quite limited on funds. (They don't get paid much) So I buy him shoes every 6 months. He's asked if there is any chance I could buy the following type of shoes. The only problem is, I don't know what type they are. They only have cleats on the front. The language barrier doesn't really help. They're for running apparently. I can only find shoes with cleats in the front and back.

Any idea what type of shoe this is? (see attached)

I have no idea. Have you tried Zappos, I have also used Pegasus but that was several years ago it may take you to clog world but thousands of shoes on there. Also Nordstrom is like the temple for all things shoes. Good luck.

I haven't tried Zapos but I'll check them out.

Finding shoes hasn't been hard. I just don't know what type of shoe this is lol. It's like a running soccer shoe hybrid.

I believe that is a track shoe. I used to wear them in high school. D I C K's Sporting Goods carries them.

Good Job Jeff The brings up a new list of results on Amazon.

You know the irony of the shoes I'm looking at....they're all made in China ahhhh...You gotta love America we're exporting imports.

[snubber]

Good job. You just have to love america's outlook. Buy from China to send back to China. WTF

[Christopher]

Well I think I found a pair for the kid. Hope he gets good use out of them

I believe those are clipless cycling shoes.

That is a pretty chunky cleat for a track runner. I think it may be something else.

Absolutely, I believe they are cycling shoes. But heck do you really think they will listen to us girlie girls?

[Jeffb]

They are track shoes. I refuse to listen to you 2 ladies.

[Vacker1229]

ok I must agree as this is what I found for us girlie girls.

[BirdDog]

Track shoes were my first thought. It just looked to chunky for a track bottom. It looks like roller balls on the bottom. But why someone would but roller balls on the front of shoe just didn't make sense.

Ha! Ha! Jeff is afraid of the girls.

Those are some flashy shoes you found there.

[DAYVAPE]

For sure a sprinting shoe... made for on the track and usually for shorter distanced races so they can "dig in", etc.

[Christopher]

Yup I think it's a track shoe as well.

[Jeffb]

Those are actually spikes on the front part of the sole. You can put in different spikes of varying lengths depending on the track conditions.
