A well rounded shoe for well rounded athletes, the Surge MD offers multi-event competitors the feel of a sprint shoe with distance cushioning. Perfect for middle distance racers and intermediate level jumpers and hurdlers. Includes 6mm spikes and wrench.

Lol, Surge MD sounds like a pop or energy drink.

The outsole: This is the treaded layer on the undersurface of the shoe, usually made from carbon rubber or similar material. It resists wears and provides traction. It may also have a studded or waffle design to enhance traction on softer surfaces.

The midsole: This is considered the most important part of running shoes as it is the cushioning and stability layer between the upper and the outsole. The most common materials for the midsole of running shoes is ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), polyurethane (PU) or a combination of the two. Often there is a dual-density midsole that has a firmer material on the inner side (medial side) to help limit pronation (rolling in) of the foot. A lot of proprietary technologies developed by different manufacturers go into the midsoles of running shoes (eg air, gel and high-tech plastics materials).

The upper: This is the part of the shoe that wraps around and over the top of the foot. It may be made of leather or a synthetic material that is lighter and breathable (to reduce heat from inside the running shoe). The tongue of the upper should be padded to cushion the top of the foot against the pressure from the laces. Often, at the back of the running shoe, the upper is padded to prevent rubbing and irritation against the achilles tendon.
The heel counter: This is a firm and inflexible cup which is built into the upper of running shoes and surrounds the heel. It is usually very firm so that it can control motion of the rearfoot.
Post or footbridge: This is the firm material in the midsole which increases stability along the inner side (arch side; medial side) of the running shoe.

Wow what an amazing forum. I really appreciate it.

I would have really gone for these shoes, if I would have seen this forum before. My next purchase will be these shoes.

Check out the latest "Men's Nike ZOOM FOREVER (http://www.shoedeals4u.com/detail.asp?ShoeId=313485-601)", which I ordered through "shoedeals4u.com". They are really comfy.

don't go with the forevers if you want a middle distance shoe, unless you get them from nike id and put the miler plate on them. if you want a middle distance shoe, go with the maxcat or the maxcat 2s.
