THANK YOU SO MUCH, I was looking for a breakdown and this was perfect. I'm super glad you explained the difference between the Nike shoes specifically, because they're who I'm always going with
I would never recommend using sprint spikes for high jump! As you lean back when jumping the spike plate is in the way amd you are going to jump way lower than you could There are high jump spikes for a reason
Wouldn’t work for long jump either, since you want to take off with your foot flat. (And I may be wrong, but aren’t you restricted to 6 spikes in long jump? They are showing a sprint spike with 7)
A distance spike will be more comfortable for the longer events. But, if you are looking for a front plate, a middle distance spike like the New Balance MD 500 or the Nike Zoom Rival MD would give you what you're looking for.
Great video. Exactly what I was looking and searching for. Excellent info regarding the differences between the spikes in terms of features and distances etc.
Get the Nike AirZoom Victory. It is the fastest shoe on the market rn for the 800m. And is banned at some big meets for being an unfair advantage. I have them and they are so springy! But the only downside to them is that they are $180. If you can't get those get the Nike ZoomX Dragonfly($150) instead. The world record 5k was set in those. And yes I've tried them on and they don't make really much of a difference between the victory which is a mid distance spike and the dragonfly's are a long distance spike. The only difference is price and springynes bc the dragonflys are made to glide more than aggressively stomp the ground but they are a really great pick for the 800m and the mile and the 2 mile. If you dont want to pay for something more than $100 than go for the Nike Zoom Victory Elite 2 which is around $70-90. I chose Nike bc Nike for the past 10 years has been superior in racing and made the FASTEST shoes. And yes shoes do make you faster! It just depends on the shoe you pick. Good luck man!
I run 200 all the way up to the 2 mile, but don't have the money for more than one pair, I'm up for sacrificing some of the benefits of sprinting spikes for healthier feet and legs in the long run. But I'm still not sure what to chose. Any recommendations for what's basically an all around shoe?
Amazing video I really loved how you took your time to show all different spikes for every different type of event,so when it comes to the Nike victory Elite 2 and the Nike victory 3 is there any difference? When it comes two those two and can you use them for the 800 ?
I'm building my very own track spikes on my channel! Track spikes in general are just really cool, but they've become uncomfortable as I've transitioned into more naturally fitting shoes.
@@stayontrack Well, it's the tapered toe box that I can't handle because I run in Altra running shoes. From my standpoint, traditional toe boxes, especially in track spikes, are only intrusive in their design. They cram my toes together to no functional benefit.
@@willstahl816 the functional benefit is a lighter, smaller and less clunky shoe. This makes it a smaller and lighter lever to move and in turn saves energy
@@willstahl816 and if the toebox really bothers you, you can always go for a model with a bit bigger of a toebox (irc some adidas models) or go up a size
@@stayontrack I'm not sure there's really any evidence that a tapered shape makes a spike any faster. There are no foot-shaped spikes on the market to even compare them to. I also don't believe the shoes are any clunkier; I've been running in Altra shoes for years now and they don't feel intrusive.
What kind of relay? If it's a sprint relay, sounds like a sprint spike is all you need. Our favorites this season are the Nike Zoom Rival S v.9 and the Saucony Spitfire 5. If you're doing a longer relay, a mid-distance spike can work well, too. Thanks for watching!
Hi, I was wondering that if I'm a size 8.5 in regular new balance running shoes, am I a size 8.5 in the new balance balance MD800V7 or do I go a size up?
why are all the sprint spikes displayed not cheaper ones that aren’t as aggressive as the more expensive ones, such as the nike superfly elite, new balance sigma harmony, etc. the spikes shown in this video (zoom rival and spitfire) don’t have a full length spike plate and only have 7 spikes whereas the more elite spikes hav full length spike plates and 8-10 spikes
Personal comfort is especially important for a distance spike. Both of them are excellent choices. The Endorphin 3 is slightly lighter at 3.7 oz for men's sample size 10, while the Nike Zoom Victory Elite 2 is 4.6 oz for men's sample size. Not a huge difference. The Nike has 6 spikes, while the Saucony has 4. So, Nike offers more traction here. Saucony Endorphin has more of a bootie-like construction for the tongue, which many people find comfortable. Nike Victory has a little more padding on the heel collar. The longer the race, the more important it is that your spike is comfortable and fits you well and every foot is a little different. I hope that helps!
@@fleetfeet699 Thank you. I just needed a professional opinion because the Nike's have a carbon fiber plate and the Saucony's are way lighter so it's hard to decide for me.
I just got Nike zoom victory 3 mid distance spikes, and I noticed there is not much support on the shoe where the inside of my foot is. So like the inside of my foot kinda hangs out and does not touch the ground when I step. Is this normal or anything to be concerned about? I hope that wasn’t confusing
@Layla that sounds normal, especially if your feet are fairly flat or wide. Spikes simply aren't supportive running shoes since they are built to help you run as fast as possible. They also tend to have a narrow fit. The most important thing is to make sure that you are wearing the right size and don't have pain when you run in them. Even if your spikes fit perfectly you probably will want to take them off as soon as you finish your race! Thanks for watching!
I'm currently looking for distance spikes, I need a decent amount of cushioning. What would be a good spike to go for? They need to work for xc courses but possibly transition to track.
I picked up some Adidas adizero md running spikes the other day. I noticed that the tread pattern between the two is asymmetrical. Is this normal for a spike?
If you are really specialising in sprints then i could recomend some really high quality sprint spikes such as the nike zoom superfly elite, adidas finesse, adidas acclerator, new balance harmony etc. but if you are just started doing track then go for spikes like nike zoom rival md, adidas sprintstar and newbalance sprint
What shoe would you recommend to be used for sprinting and up to the 800 meter? I am someone who runs on my heels, except when sprinting. *** Really *** hoping you’ll see this, thanks!
If you are wearing the same shoe for all events you will probably feel best in a mid distance spike like the New Balance MD500 or Nike Zoom Rival M that offers a tad more support than a sprint spike.

I have new balance vazzee 8 spikes. I realized that 2 spikes on each shoe all four on the lower edge spikes are stripped to the point that I can’t insert new spikes. Are these okay to still train in? Not having all 8 spikes? New to using spikes, thank you.
@Alex Galvan if they have stripped in the same spot that is probably the part of the shoe where you are putting the most impact and need the most traction. Best-case scenario: you aren't getting the traction you need in practice or races. Worst-case: you may be throwing yourself off balance which could cause overcompensation and potential injury. I would recommend getting a new pair. Thanks for watching! www.fleetfeet.com/browse/shoes/track
@@fl0_w754 The Nike x Off-White Waffle racer is a fashion shoe. The spikes are soft and designed to look like regular spikes but they won't give you traction for racing. A distance shoe would be the most comfortable but you could also use a mid-distance spike. If you like Nikes the Zoom Rival D or Zoom Rival M would be good options. www.fleetfeet.com/browse/shoes/track
Yes, you can wear a sprint spike for the 400 and 800. But because they position you on your forefoot and have very little cushioning, sprint spikes will get less comfortable as you go up in distance. Thanks for watching!
Yes, you can. But you will trade a more dramatic spike plate for a bit more support. They won't give you as much of an edge for sprints as a sprint spike.
That's a tough one...You will be better positioned for your sprint events in a sprint spike. But those spikes will not be comfortable for the 3200 and could even hurt your feet from running in them for too long. If you can have a sprint spike for the sprint events and a distance spike for the 3200 that would be best-case scenario. But if you can only pick one shoe, I'd either choose a distance spike or a spike for the event you're most competitive in. I hope that helps!
Hi, im running the 800m, 1 mile and 2 mile. What shoe would you recommend for me? This is my first year in track and I'm looking for some guidance on shoes for the track.
Im going to do track and field and the event that im mainly doing is the mile. I want to try jumping and my freinds want me to run 800 with them. Whats a good shoe to run with???? Mid distance???
Hi Marcos - middle distance spikes could certainly work another thing to keep in mind. Do you play on any other events in the future? For example any longer events? B/c if so it's easier to make longer distance or x-country style spikes work for shorter distance events than vise vera.
The Nike ZoomX Dragonfly would be the fastest spike on the market rn for those distances, and the 5k record was set in those. And yes they do make you faster. They are so fast that some big meets such as some indoor state or nationals won't let you use them bc they apparently "give and unfair advantage over other people" same thing with the Nike AirZoom Victory. They are literally the same shoe and same story but the only difference is price and the distance is best at the 800,1600 and a few 3200's but they are built exactly like the Nike AirZoomX Alphafly Next%. But just less ZoomX foam which is the most responsive(springyest) foam on any shoe on the market rn. These are only different from the Dragonfly's bc the vics have a carbon fiber plate in the midsole and the Dragonfly's have a Pebax(modified plastic) plate in the midsole. And the vics just like the Alphafly's have 2 AirZoom Pods(pockets of compressed air) in the ball of the foot(shoe) which would be very helpful and help you run faster at the end of the race when you are on the final straitaway and are on the balls of your feet. But both of them still have ZoomX foam and are really bouncy. But the only downside is to those is that they are priced at $150 and the AirZoom Victory's are at $180. But if you don't want to pay that much get the Nike Zoom Victory Elite 2. They have a full length Pebax plate and they range from $75-100. What ever you do don't buy cross country spikes for track! You thank me later!!! Good luck!👍🏻
Track spike shoes come with screw-in spikes, spots for those spikes, and a wrench used to screw them in. Begin by screwing the spikes into place by hand, then tighten them into place using the designated wrench. Here's where you can shop for the best spikes for track: www.fleetfeet.com/browse/shoes/track
I'm a 6'7 basketball player and for off-season my coach has introduced track workouts but I'm unsure if what spikes to get we only do 70M sprints for max velocity what spikes would be best I would prefer a Nike model as I can get them for cheaper
Hi Adnan, if you're doing sprint training for basketball, we would actually recommend a regular running shoe and not spikes. Spikes are designed to give you an edge in a track race, but they are not comfortable to train in and could even hurt your legs to wear them for too long. If basketball is your main sport and you like Nikes, a Nike trainer like the Pegasus or Infinity Run would be a good choice. Your comfort is the most important factor.
@@fleetfeet699 I bought some Pegasus recently I just have been advised by coach to get some since we are going to be in track this summer a lot and they are best
Whats the best spike I should get if my 100m time is around 12s with random shoes? I weigh about 65kgs I have a neutral foot strike My toes and forefoot are wide and my feet are not skinny, it's shaped almost like a brick that fans out at the toe end, they're by no means overly wide either since I'm a small guy I've got pretty short legs and a short lower leg with long insertion calves (bad for sprinting I hear but good for aesthetics) My arch isn't very pronounced My forefoot isn't conditioned to be all that strong but it's enough to last 200m My acceleration is in proportion, better than my top end speed so kind of like a untrained Christian Coleman sprinter except with terrible starts coz didn't practice on blocks but very fast to reach my max speed, I'd say I can reach it in 2s or 20m
@Anonymous W, if you're running the 100 and 200 you will definitely want a sprint spike. The Nike Zoom Rival S and Saucony Spitfire are both good choices and they have a similar fit.

@Jack B, typically if you're doing a workout like this one, it's best to wear a lightweight trainer rather than a spike, and save the spikes for competition. Spikes are designed to help you run your fastest on race day but they don't give you support for regular workouts and can leave your legs with a lot of soreness if you wear them excessively. They will also wear out faster that way. We recommend wearing trainers for workouts, and then do some strides in your spikes to get used to running in them before you race.
Nike ZoomX Victory is by far the fastest mile spike on the market and is so fast that they banned them at some meets. I know bc I have them. They feel so springy😱
Sprint spikes for long jump and high jump? Do you even know what you are talking about? Out of experience I know sprint spikes are verf bad for jumping. They are not made for long jump and high jump. There are otter shows for that
THANK YOU SO MUCH, I was looking for a breakdown and this was perfect. I'm super glad you explained the difference between the Nike shoes specifically, because they're who I'm always going with

A distance spike will be more comfortable for the longer events. But, if you are looking for a front plate, a middle distance spike like the New Balance MD 500 or the Nike Zoom Rival MD would give you what you're looking for.
Asics Hyper md 7 are also great
nike vic 3s are a great move
Great video. Exactly what I was looking and searching for. Excellent info regarding the differences between the spikes in terms of features and distances etc.
Hey!! Love from INDIA...
I want a best spikes for hurdlers 110mt and 400mt
And your videos are amazing...
Nike Matumbo 3 is by far the best distance spike. More cushioning than the zoom victory. It always seems to get overlooked.
Whatever is most comfortable for your feet is the best choice for you. Glad you've found a spike you can count on!
The Nike ZoomX Dragonfly's are faster
You guys deserve more sub's!
We think so, too ;)
Thank you so much I was so confused on what spikes i should get for long distance and what defines it , thank you
My favorite spike for almost everything is the Saucony Vendetta 3, great for sprints, middle, and long!

Could I use a mid distance spike for sprinting??
Yes, you can. But you will trade a more dramatic spike plate for a bit more support. They won't give you as much of an edge for sprints as a sprint spike.
What should I do, if I do 400m hurdles
What if I do the 200 4x200 3200 and long jump what spikes do you recommend
That's a tough one...You will be better positioned for your sprint events in a sprint spike. But those spikes will not be comfortable for the 3200 and could even hurt your feet from running in them for too long. If you can have a sprint spike for the sprint events and a distance spike for the 3200 that would be best-case scenario. But if you can only pick one shoe, I'd either choose a distance spike or a spike for the event you're most competitive in. I hope that helps!
What is the best ones for 💯m?
what spike should I use for the 200m, 400m, and long jump? Like what would be a good versatile spike that I could use in all my events? :)
I would def recommend Nike zoom rival s v9
I used the Nike zoom rival s v9 I really liked it
which is the best spikes for 400m
Find wide track spikes pls
could i use the nike zoom victory 3 for cross country?
Hi, im running the 800m, 1 mile and 2 mile. What shoe would you recommend for me? This is my first year in track and I'm looking for some guidance on shoes for the track.
New Balance MD800 v7 Men's Spikes are great for 800 to 3000m races
Im going to do track and field and the event that im mainly doing is the mile. I want to try jumping and my freinds want me to run 800 with them. Whats a good shoe to run with???? Mid distance???
Hi Marcos - middle distance spikes could certainly work another thing to keep in mind. Do you play on any other events in the future? For example any longer events? B/c if so it's easier to make longer distance or x-country style spikes work for shorter distance events than vise vera.
Can i run 800m in nike rival sprint spikes
What would you suggest for someone who runs 200, 400, and 800
Maxfly
So I’m going to start track in high school for 9th grade and I’m thinking of doing mid distance and i don’t know what spike yo get
I can recommend the asics hyper md 7
But of course there are also options from Nike and Adidas
I run the 800,1600,3200 what would be the best
The Nike ZoomX Dragonfly would be the fastest spike on the market rn for those distances, and the 5k record was set in those. And yes they do make you faster. They are so fast that some big meets such as some indoor state or nationals won't let you use them bc they apparently "give and unfair advantage over other people" same thing with the Nike AirZoom Victory. They are literally the same shoe and same story but the only difference is price and the distance is best at the 800,1600 and a few 3200's but they are built exactly like the Nike AirZoomX Alphafly Next%. But just less ZoomX foam which is the most responsive(springyest) foam on any shoe on the market rn. These are only different from the Dragonfly's bc the vics have a carbon fiber plate in the midsole and the Dragonfly's have a Pebax(modified plastic) plate in the midsole. And the vics just like the Alphafly's have 2 AirZoom Pods(pockets of compressed air) in the ball of the foot(shoe) which would be very helpful and help you run faster at the end of the race when you are on the final straitaway and are on the balls of your feet. But both of them still have ZoomX foam and are really bouncy. But the only downside is to those is that they are priced at $150 and the AirZoom Victory's are at $180. But if you don't want to pay that much get the Nike Zoom Victory Elite 2. They have a full length Pebax plate and they range from $75-100. What ever you do don't buy cross country spikes for track! You thank me later!!! Good luck!👍🏻
How can I put the spikes on the shoe?
Track spike shoes come with screw-in spikes, spots for those spikes, and a wrench used to screw them in. Begin by screwing the spikes into place by hand, then tighten them into place using the designated wrench.

I'm a 6'7 basketball player and for off-season my coach has introduced track workouts but I'm unsure if what spikes to get we only do 70M sprints for max velocity what spikes would be best I would prefer a Nike model as I can get them for cheaper
Hi Adnan, if you're doing sprint training for basketball, we would actually recommend a regular running shoe and not spikes. Spikes are designed to give you an edge in a track race, but they are not comfortable to train in and could even hurt your legs to wear them for too long. If basketball is your main sport and you like Nikes, a Nike trainer like the Pegasus or Infinity Run would be a good choice. Your comfort is the most important factor.
@@fleetfeet699 I bought some Pegasus recently I just have been advised by coach to get some since we are going to be in track this summer a lot and they are best
Whats the best spike I should get if my 100m time is around 12s with random shoes?
I weigh about 65kgs
I have a neutral foot strike
My toes and forefoot are wide and my feet are not skinny, it's shaped almost like a brick that fans out at the toe end, they're by no means overly wide either since I'm a small guy
I've got pretty short legs and a short lower leg with long insertion calves (bad for sprinting I hear but good for aesthetics)
My arch isn't very pronounced
My forefoot isn't conditioned to be all that strong but it's enough to last 200m
My acceleration is in proportion, better than my top end speed so kind of like a untrained Christian Coleman sprinter except with terrible starts coz didn't practice on blocks but very fast to reach my max speed, I'd say I can reach it in 2s or 20m
@Anonymous W, if you're running the 100 and 200 you will definitely want a sprint spike. The Nike Zoom Rival S and Saucony Spitfire are both good choices and they have a similar fit.
I run at UNCA
Which spike should I wear for both the 800 and 2 k?
Get the Nike AirZoom Victory. It is the fastest shoe on the market rn for the 800m. And is banned at some big meets for being an unfair advantage. I have them and they are so springy! But the only downside to them is that they are $180. If you can't get those get the Nike ZoomX Dragonfly($150) instead. The world record 5k was set in those. And yes I've tried them on and they don't make really much of a difference between the victory which is a mid distance spike and the dragonfly's are a long distance spike. The only difference is price and springynes bc the dragonflys are made to glide more than aggressively stomp the ground but they are a really great pick for the 800m and the mile and the 2 mile. If you dont want to pay for something more than $100 than go for the Nike Zoom Victory Elite 2 which is around $70-90. I chose Nike bc Nike for the past 10 years has been superior in racing and made the FASTEST shoes. And yes shoes do make you faster! It just depends on the shoe you pick. Good luck man!
I want to get track spikes, but I don’t know where they sell them.

Do you prefer sprint spike or middle distance spike for 400m
Sprint
It depends how fast you are
I run 100m which spikes?
Depends on your experience and budget
Nike Rival s is great for beginners
Nike superfly is great for advanced athletes
Would i take a long distance spike if i am doing 400x10 (400m rest (20 laps))
@Jack B, typically if you're doing a workout like this one, it's best to wear a lightweight trainer rather than a spike, and save the spikes for competition. Spikes are designed to help you run your fastest on race day but they don't give you support for regular workouts and can leave your legs with a lot of soreness if you wear them excessively. They will also wear out faster that way. We recommend wearing trainers for workouts, and then do some strides in your spikes to get used to running in them before you race.
@@fleetfeet699 Thanks for the reply! I will be sticking with the saucony endorphin speeds for now :-)
@@jackb4488 great choice!
do u recommend sprint spikes or mid spikes for 100 up to 400
With mid spikes you run more flat, but you are not going to run 400m on tip of your toes. So it comes what you prefer more
@@extreame7304 ok thanks
Is 1500m classed as middle distance?
Yes
What should I do if I do 400
Either a sprint spike or mid distance spike works well for the 400. Depends on whether you're also doing other events.
For 1600
Nike ZoomX Victory is by far the fastest mile spike on the market and is so fast that they banned them at some meets. I know bc I have them. They feel so springy😱
Do you wear these with socks?
@Simone you can go with or without. Spikes tend to have a snug fit, so if you do wear socks they should be thin ones.
I got some asics sprint shoes for 65$ 😀😀😀😃😀😀😃
First
Ok
Ill give you a cookie

@@sowgueye5412 Thank you
Sprint spikes for long jump and high jump? Do you even know what you are talking about? Out of experience I know sprint spikes are verf bad for jumping. They are not made for long jump and high jump. There are otter shows for that
Sprint spikes for high jump? Sorry, no.
