Are these track spikes good, and which one is better?

I Need Help With Track Shoes.?

  • So , my mom went to buy me track shoes i told her to get the one at the bottom there spikes , so she did but there was only 4 long spikes and a few rubber spikes in the back and in the middle. Am a 100m sprinter my average time is 13:20 sec and i just wanna know are the shoes that she got me , are they for sprinting or something else??

  • Answer:

    This sounds like she either bought you high jump shoes or cross country spikes. Cross country shoes have longer spikes. If your shoes have 1/4 inch spikes they're probably normal spikes. My best guess would be that you bought cross country shoes, specifically I know that New Balance sells cross country shoes with 4 spikes. Either way, a typical sprinting shoe has 6 spikes so you don't have sprinting shoes I'm afraid. Sprinting shoes have a hard plastic plate to keep you on your toes, so the cross country spikes wouldn't help. (also, cross country length spikes are technically illegal in competition.)
