Well, problem solved.

I got the spikes today and they are to small.

They are unused, still in the box, but they do look old ones.
( As used by Fred Flintstone ) They are Adidas Speeder. Don't know where he got Zoom Swift from.

Any way they don't fit, so he told me to put them on ebay for him.

Thanks for your help and advise guys. I now know what to look for in the future.

Just ordered myself a nice pair of green Kilkennys for the upcoming cross country season. Only £31.99 from sportsshoes.com, some good offers on there at the moment.

Kilkenny looks like a great spike.
You can also say 'Oh my god, they killed kenny' at the end of races ala South park!
