I had those exactly same shoes. I switch to the BONT Vaypor T shoes and haven't look back. All the sprinters I've met use either these, custom BONT Zero shoes (laces, no BOA), or custom made Sierra shoes. It took me a week or two for my foot to get use to them. I think I've seen Nicholas Paul wearing the Classic Vaypor model at TTOWN (cheapest version of the Vaypor).
