"If you are a hammer thrower these are very nice shoes especially in the first week. They feel like butter in the ring in the first week. But after some time especially in a rougher ring, the soles will start to melt quickly. And after about 5 months they will have a hole in your lead leg right around the ball of your foot. But the heel is perfect for turning on to or getting a nice clean heal and will virtually never wear. Works very well for all other throws with no issue. Can be a perfect all around shoe for throwers without a doubt." via Nike
"To start, whatever problems people are talking about, seem to have been fixed. I have used the Rotational 6 shoes for the past couple of months before my season being all but cancelled, and have been extremely happy with them. These shoes are much faster than the SD 4s I used last season, and are about as comfortable as them as well. I've worn the shoes for THREE hours at a time, multiple times, and have not gotten any blisters or really even felt any discomfort. Even after all of these practices, the soles still look amazing. I would definitely recommend these shoes to others, unless they were new to throwing. The shoes are really fast, even on my school's rings, which definitely aren't perfect. I will definitely be buying these again when my current pair gets worn out." via Nike
"I owned a pair of Nike SDs for about a year and they broke. Did not think much of it because I got a lot of wear out of them for being a college level thrower. I ordered a new pair of SDs and had them for only 2 weeks, with a total of 10 days of wear and they also broke. I was not sure if it was just the SDs so I sent them back and decided to try the Rotationals. I had them for only ONE WEEK and they also broke. All three of the shoes I purchased broke in the same exact area. There has to be a defect in the shoe and do not recommend buying Nike throwing shoes. Very disappointed in the quality from such a reputable brand." via Nike
