This extends further the shoe's lifespan compared to track shoes with non-removable spikes. Having them replaceable means that once the spikes have been worn down, they can just be replaced and the shoe will once again have fresh wear on them.

The Distancestar's outsole is also powered with the innovative Adiwear Rubber. An extremely durable non-marking rubber that helps in reducing wear and tear while offering excellent traction.
