Track Spikes: Try before you buy

1/13/2016

0 Comments

 
Finding the perfect track spikes is no easy task.  First, there are different types of track spikes (cross country, middle distance, sprints), and how they feel on your foot is very important.  Some runners may prefer a snugger shoe while others want to be able to have a little wiggle room in their toe box.  You are looking to find the shoe that is going to get you that personal record goal or even win! This is why it is very important to try on the shoe with your intended socks before you buy them!
 
How to tell the difference in track spikes:
  • Sprints- For races between 100-400 meters. They have no heel because you are on your toes the entire race, lightweight, and a stiff spike plate.
  • Middle distance- For races between 400-1600 meter.  They tend to have a small cushioned heel and a smaller footprint than distance spikes.
  • Long distance- For 3,000-10,000 meter races.  These shoes will have a less amount of spikes, smaller spike plate, and cushion throughout the shoe.

We've got a great selection of spikes from New Balance and Saucony! Visit us today to gear up for you season. 

Also, students who show their valid student ID at the store will receive 15% off their purchase year round.
