Nike Long Jump Elite
The Nike Long Jump Elite puts an Air Zoom unit under the plate for a springy run-up and powerful take-off, our top long jump spike.
The TrackSpikes Shop
Jumping spikes are built around the take-off. Long jump spikes are close to a sprint spike with a firmer heel, while high jump spikes add heel pins, a midfoot strap and a stiff plate to cope with the forces of a curved run-up. These are the jumping spikes we recommend.

Beginners often do, but long jump spikes have more heel support and a firmer plate for the take-off board, which reduces the risk of heel bruising.
Some do. The ASICS High Jump Pro, for example, is sold in separate left-foot and right-foot take-off versions so the plate suits the direction of your curve.
