Well, I got that and ran with it.I only quoted and edited another post for a laugh
Just buy a new tub of those spikes and replace them as and when necessary, standard practice.
I've occasionally had that happen....I don't take very good care of my shoes, but I do check the spikes every couple of times I wear them just to see if anything needs replacing. A guy I play with was complaining a few months ago about slipping too much when he was swinging....we took a look at the bottoms of his shoes...probably 80% of those spikes had broken off, he just needed to replace the spikes but he hadn't taken a good look at his shoes for quite a while.
Well yeah, that's what I'm about to do. Knowing my luck I'll order the new spikes and then the shoe itself will break in a week's time.
Yeah I just wonder how they break so easily when I only wear them when it's soft underfoot. There is a walk across a car park at mine, plus the odd path of course, but it's not like I'm racing across them at speed. I wonder if it's some of the crappy old teeing mats at ours that do the damage.
Car park, path, teeing mats and age of the spikes... They just go unfortunately.Well yeah, that's what I'm about to do. Knowing my luck I'll order the new spikes and then the shoe itself will break in a week's time.

Back in the day when I had spikes I used to check them every month. It wasn't unusual for one simply not to be there any longer, part of it snapped off etc, as you say. It just goes with the territory of spikes. I would just keep a pack (the brand Champ springs to mind) and change them over when needed.
Another irritation.. £16 for the spikes but wrench is not included so I have to spend another £5 on that as well.Well yeah, that's what I'm about to do. Knowing my luck I'll order the new spikes and then the shoe itself will break in a week's time.
And since you've had these shoes for 17 months, you'll find that getting the old spikes out will be a struggle. Be prepared to dig little bits of grit out of the locating holes with a bradawl. I've even been known to drill the holes out so the wrench can get some purchase.Another irritation.. £16 for the spikes but wrench is not included so I have to spend another £5 on that as well.
Get metal spikes, makes a satisfying crunching noise as you walk across the car park. They also don’t get clogged up with grass clipping like soft spikes when you sometimes end up walking with a mat of grass stuck to your shoes - just hope you don’t have wooden floors in the spike bar.Another irritation.. £16 for the spikes but wrench is not included so I have to spend another £5 on that as well.
This is now making me question whether I should just carry on with the broken ones. It's only a little bit broken off after all.
It won’t make the slightest difference. Save yourself a few £This is now making me question whether I should just carry on with the broken ones. It's only a little bit broken off after all.
. It's windy here already but this is just a warm up to what is due. Frustrating to finish on a flat note.Agree.
I meant every spiked shoe I've had, the spikes break after varying amounts of time. With my last pair (Skechers) it was only 8 months, so Ecco trumps them anyway.
