FAQs

Should I get multi event spikes? ›

If this is your first year participating in track and field, you may be trying out several different events, and it's probably not realistic to buy specific spikes for every event you hope to try. In this case a Multi-purpose track & field spike will be the most versatile and is the best starting point.

These shoes are well made and have worked out great. My son has been using them for the 110 Hurdles, 300 Hurdles, mile relay, long jump and pole vault with no problems.

These versatile spikes have you covered for sprints, hurdle events, jumps and pole vault.

As a rule of thumb: The shorter the event, the more spikes you'll need. Traditionally, short sprint spike plates will have about 7-10 pins per shoe to foster greater traction. Since flexibility is a greater concern for longer sprints, spikes for these athletes will only have 6-8 pins.

The spikes or pins on the bottom of the shoes provide improved traction and stability, allowing athletes to run faster and jump further. This can make a significant difference in races and other events, leading to better times and distances.

Sprints: 100m, 200m, 400m and their respective relay events. Middle Distance: 400m, 800m, 1600m, 3200m and their respective relays. These spikes also work for the following field events: Long Jump, High Jump, Triple Jump, Javelin, 100/110m hurdles, 300m hurdles and Pole Vault.

These shoes are made for explosive movements and short durations. They have stiff soles and uppers that lock down the foot. These types of spikes will generally require half to a full size down from your normal running shoe size, and this is the best fit for sprint, jump, and throw shoes.

Spike length must not exceed ¼ inch in length. This will be strictly enforced by Gately Park staff. Teams will be issued one warning for any athlete caught wearing spikes longer than the recommended ¼ inch Pyramid or Compression Spike during practice.

Make sure you only wear your spikes whilst on the track or at a cross-country event on a soft surface. As running spikes are a snug fit whether you wear socks or not is up to you. Going sock-free however can increase your chance of blisters so look for a thin technical sock to get the best of both.

Are track spikes worth it? ›

While your regular trainers are built for, well, training, spikes are built for competition. They're lighter which reduces fatigue; they hug your feet for better control; and they provide extra grip where you need it most, resulting in greater responsiveness and powerful push offs that propel you forward, faster.

If your runner is also running longer distance events, it's better to buy a long-distance spike. If they are running more sprints, and the 400-800 middle distance event, then they could buy a sprint spike. Sprint spike shoes have forefoot plates and are not the best for MD and definitely not for LD events.

The spikes should be no more roomy than trainers, but the athlete's toes should be able to move and not feel pinched or cramped against the front of the shoe.

These classic spikes can be used for track and cross country and perform well on grass and rubber. When in doubt, go with these. 1/4" length should do the job for a track meet or for a dry cross country race.

For long distance events on tartan or synthetic tracks, you will want to use spikes that are between 3-5mm long. These spikes will provide good traction without being too hard on your feet. For shorter distances or sprints, you can use running spikes that are 6mm long. These nails will give you more traction and grip.

--Spikes can be used up to three times, increasing damage with each layer. --One layer of Toxic Spikes poisons incoming Pokemon. Two layers inflict Toxic poison. --Stealth Rock can only be used once.

A good rule of thumb is to replace them every two seasons. While this may seem like it could become expensive, it's much less costly than getting injured from racing in a pair of track spikes that are worn out.
