'Sup /fit/

Got a pair of Rival MD III track spikes at the Nike Outlet for $15. They'll be used for 3 weeks since my old trainers were worn to shit and I won't buy new ones 'till school starts. Here's the thing I run at a track but I also run to and from it on concrete/asphalt its about a block and a half distance (I'd say 500 meters?). I don't want to carry another pair of shoes for off-track. So what to I do? Run spike-less or with flat studs? leave the spikes on? I though about running spike-less then putting the spikes on at the track. Will running spike-less on concrete/asphalt fuck with the spike plate? Thanks in advance /fit/.

tl;dr - Track spikes on concrete/asphalt, what to do.

(Pic related, its the shoes.)

take out the spikes on anything non rubber/synthetic...

just walk to the track with some flip flops or something on. Those shoes have the hard plastic spikes in the front plate. Those will be torn up by the asphalt walk, also risking cracking the plate, destroying the shoes all together. They shouldn't be worn off the track, under any circumstances.

Get some cheap adidas flip flops and throw those on for the block walk, and put your shoes on at the track like a grown up.

Why? If its because of increased wear on the spikes themselves I don't really care since they'll be used for about 3 weeks.

I also thought about that but the whole thing is part of my run. I guess I could walk to and from and do more time at the track, but its just the hassle of carrying stuff at the track that bothers me. I just carry a gun and my keys in a small fanny pack, and I'm pretty sure no flip-flops will fit in there. Also keep in mind they'll be used 5 days a week for about 3 weeks, will the shoes be destroyed in that time period?

fine then walk in your bare feet, don't come asking if its ok to wear spikes off of the track, and fight it when people tell you no.

I work for a shoe manufacturer, I am a rep who sells this kind of stuff. I ran track for 10 years, jr high through college, and i make my living knowing running shoes and track spikes.

You will break the face plate putting pressure on it, specially if you have spikes in. That plate will snap, and you won't have anything to run in. If you need a gun to go a block and a half, move to a better neighborhood, because you are pretty fucked if you can't be safe right outside your own house.

When you are running, do you really have your faggy pack with you? Running around carrying a gun while you do laps? You most likely take it off, so just lay your flip flops next to it. Not that hard to keep an eye on it, what the hell else are you going to do as you run around in a circle?

Oh, and those spikes aren't made for distance, i wouldn't even suggest them if you are doing more than a mile at a time. Just thought I would throw that in

I'm not fighting just asking for an opinion. Also I run with the fanny pack on... Otherwise it would defeat the purpose of having protection. I'm not gonna run to the fanny pack if someone jumps me... XD. Anywho I think if that's the case I'll just walk on some cheapy flip-flops and leave them in a corner while I run. About the shoes, I was poking around Google and the Nike website and such and apparently they're best for 400 - 2000m runs. I run 1600m and about 800m to and from so if I walk I'd be doing 2400m at the track. Anything I should look forward to?

Why the fuck would someone jump you while you're running? Most runners don't carry shit with them when they run. No cash. Maybe a key. Probably a cell phone. Doesn't sound like a mugging victim to me.

Unless you're a femanon, I doubt you'll be sexually assaulted.

Muggers want a new pair of shoes.

Then fuck. Give them the fucking shoes. Life > $15 pair of fucking shoes. Or, go be a fucking hero and shoot the fucker. The difference is that you probably don't want to kill anyone, and the mugger doesn't give a shit.
