Track Spikes (Sprints)

There are many new track spikes that are avaiable in the market that are suited for sprints. There are entry and elite level spikes. Begineers should stick with the entry level spikes because they are generally not as aggresive as the elite level spikes. However I love my elite level spikes which are the adidas prime finesse. The lightness of these spikes are amazing and with my neon yellow color way makes it stand out on the track. It has a stiff spikes plate which allows for more recoil when I am sprinting and also it would hold up better when I start by not being flismy when I push off of the starting blocks. Another good choice would be Nike and their famous g5 spike plate which has been known to be the best spike plate ever created. I have never purchased these spikes that includes a g5 spike plate but I have heard of its aggressiveness and also its great stiffness which makes it great for running sprints at high velocity. However on the downside nike sprint spikes are generally much more heavier than here adidas competion. There are also many other companies that make great sprint spikes like Brookes, Saucony and Asics. In conclusion the things to looks in a sprint spikes is one, the spike plate, the spike plate it the one that makes a shoe that costs 50 dollars to 100 dollars. Second the weight, the lighter the shoe the faster that you will run. And three the fit of the spike, you want your spike to fit exactly like a glove. Nike does a great job with this in the fact that they use the flywire technology and also adidas does a great job also with their use of the sprint web which reduces weight and also helps prevent the foot from sliding inside of the shoe which can be the most annoying feeling in the world and can also result in slower times.
