So I'm in the market for spikes and I'm trying to decide between the two.
The lj's don't have as much of a heel as the PV's but I heard the PV's aren't durable.
any info or reviews would be appreciated

Re: Nike LJ or PV
The newer models of the pole vault spikes are more durable than the older models of PVs, but probably still a little less durable than the LJ spikes. If you want more heel and you don't care if they are a little heavier, get the TJ spikes.

I like the LJ's because it keeps me from ever hitting my heels when I run. Plus they're light and durable.
